The Dreaded Shooting Low and Left

[powerboatr]

Same with me as demonstrated with my new Ronin in its first range visit. Mostly left, slightly low. Gotta work on that.

my ronin is considerably lighter than y 1967 colt 1911, 2 complete different shooting characteristics.

shoot low with the ronin, and high right with colt for the first few rounds until my brain reels it in.
ronin makes a day at range with 200-300 rounds a less hammer on old wrist, vice the 1967 colt

This happens to me more with the subcompacts like the Hellcat or p365 I think it's a grip issue with my big hands. Less real estate to hold on to and more recoil seems to cause this for me. It seems like I have to concentrate more on my grip to shoot these guns better, with my Glock 19 it comes more naturally I think because it just fits my hand better and it's not as thin and it's easier to hold on to for me.

Good information here about finger placement on 1911 trigger...

1911 Trigger Placement

Finding the sweet spot on a 1911's trigger isn't Voodoo. You just need to know your hand and understand how the trigger works.
