    Horrible.............Now hand your gun over to me!





    I kid, I kid. How long have you been shooting? Dryfire dryfire dryfire seems to be the best way to get a good feel for trigger pull. I balance a dime or penny on my front sight post on my XD and dryfire it as often as I can and a couple of other pistols as well. I can only dryfire a .44 so many times before fatigue sets in so that kinda nips that real quick and the other pistols won't allow a penny on the FSP so takes care of that too. Anyway, you have the potential to be putting it in the same hole everytime but the limiting factor is the guy behind the gun. Watch some todd jarrett vids and try some different stances and grips and go from there. Its nothing more than a learned behavior and habit you create by doing it over and over. I haven't shot pistols this year much because i've been focusing on rifles so i'm going to have a heck of a time going back to pistol shooting. I started with pistols and rifles are easier to find ammo for currently so I have been staying away from those. Good luck and keep on shooting.

    Oh, and if you're really into small groups, go get yourself a good 5.5" ruger MKII or III with a bull barrel and shoot the crap out of it until you are shooting silver dollar groups. It can be done with good technique and ammo. (No I cannot do this but have seen it done by the old timers)

      Instead of the barn door type targets try using some of these, like maybe the B-2 and practice what all those other guys said

        I agree which is why I mentioned it in post 7
        "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
        "What we get away with isn't usually the same as what's good for us"
        "An extended slide stop is the second most useless part you can put on a 1911"

        although I suppose there are a few tanks which I owe an apology to for that remark"
