I was also shooting left with it today. But this is just form on my part, I tend to squeeze with the top nuckle when I shoot. After about 50 rounds I was doing better and hitting center.

The XD and Glock took a while for me to hit POA. I was also hitting low & left about 2 - 3". Get a trigger job it will be like day and night.

I and others have posted the Todd Jarrett video and have found it really is helpful in getting your shots on target where you aim.

He nailed with my XD and I was spot on with his Glock. And it has been 4 years since I shot a Glock! I'll be back to the range next week and see what happens, but I think I got some form to correct. Either that or adjust the rear sight a hair.

Try a little more trigger finger when you go shooting next.

That video was actually very helpful. I've watched a few times trying to pick up on different things he says. As I worked on my grip, my shots got better.

Well... back at the range today for another 100 rounds. Focused on grip and finger position. The difference between yesterday's shoot and today's was like night and day. I hit the ten ring every time. Thanks for all the advice.
