dmagicglock Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 check your trigger finger, if you're wrapping your first digit around the trigger and pulling it versus depressing it with the tip of your finger you'll usually pull to the left. But otherwise not bad homie, just some helpful advice because I use to pull to the left all the time and that was my issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 check your trigger finger, if you're wrapping your first digit around the trigger and pulling it versus depressing it with the tip of your finger you'll usually pull to the left. But otherwise not bad homie, just some helpful advice because I use to pull to the left all the time and that was my issue.Definitely appreciate the advice. Not really noticeable at 30 ft and under, around 100-150 feet I'm solidly to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmagicglock Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 theres some formula that for every 1/8th of an inch of movement (left or right) on the pistol it accounts for like an inch or two on the target from so many feet out. You might not notice it from 30ft, but obviously as you go to 100 ft or more it becomes noticeable. So it could be the tiniest movement but it can add up over distance. Some people argue its not trigger control but anticipation of the recoil that causes you to pull down on the gun and you can "milk the grip" and throw the shots off just a bit. Anyhow! Good luck, mastering trigger control takes most people just long enough for arthritis to set in haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 An 1/8" off on a handgun with a 4" sight radius, would be 11.25 inches off the target's normal aimpoint at 30 feet. Lol, it's called Trigonometry. Oh crap, now I done started it...It's math, don't hate me... ok, I'll go back to the Socially Awkward Engineers on Motorcycles [©EvilTwin] now...If I find some of my old targets, I'll scan/post them up...

Likwid Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 First time out with the PT1911...I tend to pull a little to the left also.Still a very nice grouping! A few things I read say at 25 ft and under you shouldn't line up like "pumpkin on a post" but rather have your front sight centered on what you'd like to hit. Could explain the lower rounds?

aracnid007 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yes, I've been working on that sight picture...at least until I can afford to have the slide cut for adjustable sights. I print almost the exact same groups with my 24/7 Pro LS .45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 This is from when I shot for Ohio State. Last target of an air pistol match. Go ahead and guess which shot was my last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
