Right, so I've been working on this new concealable 9mm. Brand new, never fired. During my first practice it wasn't even hitting the target mount. After a few more tries at different ranges I was convinced there was something wrong with it. Online forums confirmed other users were finding this model shoots low and to the left. This month I was determined to resolve the problem because I want to use it as my ccw.
7 shots. No good. A strange sort of trip to the south west. After test firing again I had to ask the range officer nearby to try it and prove to me the problem was hardware. If this keeps up there's no guarantee I'll hit a target when I need to. We adjusted the sites to their extremes and he pointed out how incorrect trigger finger placement can unintentionally pull you off target.
7 shots. Better. You can see the improvement when I use a slow going aim - squeeze, aim - squeeze, aim - bang technique. 6 in an inch and one outlier to the 7 O'clock position where I went too fast. This wasn't a problem with my full size Ruger. That one gave me effortless results at 20 feet. So my conclusion is that this smaller sports car is harder to control than the boat and I was getting too excited about driving it between the aim - squeeze - fire points. This is a great opportunity to slow down and really focus on the tiny details in technique. Looking forward to moving that target back to 20.
