Pistol vs revolver shooting - HELP!

[benstt]

I took a couple pistols out behind the cabin today to give them some work. It's been almost all revolvers since the before-times ended because I reload for them. Both my VP9 and Delta Elite were hitting significantly low but good on windage. I can't blame the pistols; when I was using them regularly last May they were doing this, and the fliers were from the draw. They've been in the safe since. I'm putting the sights on the same place as before. I hit the mark or at least group around it with revolvers. I'd be surprised if I'm anticipating recoil with the 9mm when I don't seem to have a problem with full-power .44 mag with either a hogleg or a double action. Any ideas? I want to get back to my autos since I can find 9 and 10 again but I REALLY don't want to build bad habits.

Try a little less finger on the trigger; you're probably shooting your revolvers DA with the trigger in or near the first joint; try getting out nearer to the tip.

Agree, that’s what it sounds like to me

Thanks, guys. That'll give me something to try.

Shoot from a rest and make sure the problem is you first.

I hauled the VP9 to the range today with a couple hundred rounds. After some work, including the tips from people here, I got back in the black and red. Thanks, all!

So was it you or the sights ?

It was me, as usual. I always blame me, especially when shooting a HK. I just had to get used to the trigger again, get my grip and finger location right, and use a good pull. I got used to and spoiled by revolver triggers
