Just happy I hit the paper

[1BDDELX]

Went to the range for my first time. Had shot my Ruger P89 5 times or so prior and my Glock 21sf 2 times. Im glad I atleast hit the paper. How bad do you guys think this is???? Overall Im quite happy....

Ruger 9mm at 7 yards


Ruger 9mm at 15 yards


Glock .45 at 7 yards


Glock .45 at 15 yards

I know the feeling as I just got my first handgun and have no experience with handguns whatsoever

that glock .45 at seven yards looks pretty good, way better than what I get. Im sure some calgunners will chip in with some tips after looking at your silhouettes.

only way you'll get better is by shooting more

Thanks, and yes Im sure I will get some pointers. I know for some reason at 15 yards im pulling left as im a right handed shooter. More practice more practice

Its just practicing
I bought a 22 for it
Wife and I put about 2k rounds thru it
Now with her 9mm and larger calibers she's almost always having awesome groupings
Same for me
Practice makes perfect!!!

If that target was a person, I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy!

For a first time you did fine.

Just practice your technique and of course. More time on the range.

Thanks guys...Im going to visit the range again next week to practice. Woohoo

I would say work on your sight picture, maybe a red sticker in the center or switch to a bullseye target. The other thing is your grip. You may want to tighter it up some. You do not want a death grip but the 45 is a tighter group then the 9, makes me think you had a tighter grip on the 45.

Very possible. Thanks for the input I will give it a try and see if I do grip them different. The only real big difference I saw yesterday that I felt anyway was the triggers are SO different. Maybe switching back and forth was a bad idea

Congrats man, this can get addicting, trust me.

Thanks and yes addicting is an understatement. In the last 3 weeks I have bought 4 news items for the safe and not to mention buying the safe

Dont have pics but a nice fitting hogue wrap around grip sure helped me! I just couldnt get a comfortable grip on the gun before.

Just might have to order me one up...Thanks for the input

Dry fire, dry fire, and then dry fire some more. Some people don't realize how important this is, even if it's just 10-20 times a day.

Looks pretty good. Practice practice. Dry fire at home. Work on trigger control and not flinching/squeezing your hands. That's what it looks like to me at the 15 yds
