I MEANT to say it shoots high, not low, hence, aiming at the bottom of a milk jug.>

What my problem was, the left trigger wasn't heat treated properly so it bent. Because it was bent, the trigger sears weren't catching right, so when I fired the right barrel, the left hammer would fall. The last time I shot the left barrel, I pulled the trigger and held the hammer back with my left hand and released it manually to fire the barrel to clear the charge.

After emailing Pete about some possible solutions, I sent the pistol back and got it back repaired in four days. Pete and his guys get stuff done quickly.
