Took the xd40 to the range yesterday. I kept shooting high and to the left. they were all grouped within 3"-4" at 10yards, but all in the upper left corner of the target. What is going on??! The range officer said I was pushing the gun, but what the hell does that mean? He really wasnt a big help at all. Someone help me please....

do a search here for "correction target"

should give you a better idea of what's happening.

Try different ammo too. My HK USP shoots low left with WWB and point of aim with Blazer Brass.

Try this. with a unloaded weapon place a dime at the end of the front sight with the weapon charged pull the trigger and see what happens when the tripper pulled. If you are having a push problem the dime will jump off the pistol. If you can have a spotter there with you have him watch as you fire. In the military we use this technich to help shooters with these problems.
