Low and to the left

[X-ffdo]

A suggestion for when you have nothing better to do. Nothing ventured, nothing lost. My $.02. It might help.
Dry fire from a resting position, watch your front sight as you slowly depress the trigger. You want to watch for a pattern, a repeated pattern, what happens when, at which point. Do it slowly, do it when you have nothing better to do, make time your friend. During this practice, as you pull back on the trigger, watch at what point the sights tend to go off target. What seems to be your own personal way to shoot will become apparent, gives you a starting point. A base line. You may be inconsistent.
Now do it slightly faster, your tendencies will be augmented.
Go back to a slow. resting position, the purpose is to stabilize your gun. Think, "Straight back", pull straight back, no up or down, no left or right. Practice it, practice it....Stay on target!!!
At the range start doing the last exercise, see your results. After you are consistent, go to a normal, standing shooting position. Have a friend do the loading with a few snap caps in random locations in your magazine, mixed in with the live rounds. If you are alone, load all your mags and do the snap cap trick, mix them up and them shoot them in random order, as not to know where the snap caps are located in the mix.
Good luck. This will be an eye opener, be deliberate and concentrate. Perceive it as just an experiment.
Next thing, dry fire never hurt anyone as long as you observe basic weapons safety rules, further more, after you have removed all your ammo out of your weapon, check, check and double check. Last !! Remove any and all live ammo away from your room where you practice. Even if it is not the correct caliber for your particular weapon, any and all.
If you own snap caps, they will be very obvious.
Lastly, in training with all kinds of people, in one occasion I observed one person, a well muscled Marine, (This group was a mixed bag of people) he was on target all the time, and held the weapon rock steady. Pumping iron works for upper body strength, arms and hands, it gives you as much of a bench rest effect as your body can produce to hold the weapon steady. Mostly when shooting on the move, when forced to shoot with one hand if you are dragging anything, that strength training will pay very well then.
Good Luck and have fun!! BE Safe !!

No, it is my Airsofts that are high and to the right, so if you want to trade instead of me buying yours, that is a great plan!

My Kimbers, oddly enough are spot on!

When dry fire training put a coin on top of the the front sight. Learning to shoot with the coin staying on the sight will help with trigger control and may help resolve your problem. When I was learning to shoot that was a drill I was taught to use.

You know...that's a great idea for "flinch" training. Thanks for the tip.

Ha Ha DV... lol. That's alright...I love my P99. It's a beautiful gun...a work of art. My Glock is my daily workhorse carry gun.

I also shot about 50 rounds through my AMT .45 backup and that was really fun. I might carry it more often.

It may also help with your trigger pull. Note when you lose the coin relative to your trigger position and see if you can analyze what caused it to fall.

It is a good drill.

I think I need to get a Walther one of these days to add to the stable.

Head down to one of CCWI's classes. He will fix your low and left issue. No problem!

I called him and had a long talk with him. I gave him some pointers to look for.
