Somebody correct me....

Literally.

There is something slightly askew with my handgun technique. Seems no matter what I am shooting, all of my shots are about four inches left of where I am aiming. I know that means I am doing something wrong. I just can't remember what it is.

I know one or more of you knows exactly what I'm doing wrong.

Help a a brother out.

Thanks.

Ray - Google handgun correction target. I think this is what you're looking for.

Have you tired a different gun. My new glock 17 was shooting left, went to my glock 23 carry and I was spot on.

Yeah. That one!

Generally that is to much or to little finger on the trigger. I run into that when switching different guns, depending on the trigger pull when shooting out to 100yds some guns I use the end pad of my finger and some I use the first knuckle. If your not jerking the trigger and your grip is good try moving your finger placement.

I was just looking for that.

Sorry I wasn't watching while you were shooting.

Where were you hitting with the revolver?

Everything was about four inches left. The revolver was better but was still probably about two inches left.

Figured it out on my last range trip. I was gripping too tightly with my support hand and basically torquing the handgun over to the left under recoil. Hope that makes sense. Anyhow, by relaxing my support hand grip everything went back to center.

Technique and practice are very important to be proficient with a handgun. Unfortunately, I don't get out to shoot as much as I should and my lack of practice really screws up my technique.
