So I've seen a reoccurring problem in the handgun shooting world here as of late and it kinda surprises me.
had a conversation with a well known shooter trainer about how they had been struggling with shooting "right" lately. The problem went away when they moved to a new gun... only to find that the old one had sights that were not aliened right and that it just shot to the right due to the sights. Then wile teaching and AIWB skills and Essential handgun skills class in Houston TX this year I was shooting my new Centurion Tactical from Wilson and found the gun shoots about 2'' left at 10 yards, I also had a student using the Excellent Langdon Tactical PX4 compact carry he was killing it the first day and then on the second day he was consistently shooting high. I thought he had been raising the front sight out of the rear sight notch and that was what was causing it, he asked me to shoot the gun again as I had shot it the day before and sure enough It was shooting high... the student had switched ammo that day and had never shot it in the gun before.
So where am I going with this you ask... well made sure the ammo you are shooting does in Fact shoot point of aim point of impact in your gun.!!! The questing is asked all the time.. what ammo should I carry in my gun, well good self-defense ammo of course... and here it comes... the But. make sure that it shoots point of aim point of impact and that if groups good out of your gun. point in case is my 92's vs my PX4CC, the 92's LOVE the 124gr HST wile the PX4CC loves the 124 gold dot. yes it would be nice if they both shot the same ammo the fact is they don't and I'm okay with that.
So check you point of aim and point of impact of the ammo you plan to carry and train with. If you are not sure have someone else shoot the gun that you know is a good shooter or shoot it from a bench/rest to help you be more accurate. Also check your sights to make sure they are aliened... yes sometimes it is bad trigger control that causes you to consistently shoot off target... but it can also be the sights just like on my Cen Tac. so get out there and check you guns and ammo guys!!
