Point of Impact - Strong vs. Weak Side - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I spent some time at the range yesterday, practicing with my P239, 9 MM, first from my strong side (right) then my weak side (left). The groups were about the same, but the ones from the weak side were about 4" to the right of the ones from the strong side, at 25 yards. I'm careful to use the same sight picture and checked my sight alignment carefully.

I'm curious, if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, how much difference do you see?

Thanks.

This IMO a very common thing ... It's all in the trigger/grip.

Sounds like you're using too much trigger. I do the same when I use my left(weak) hand. I really need to practice that more too as every time I try it I shoot to the right, so I need to practice getting it into my mind of good grip from the start with my weak hand shooting.
