Ok, I am getting to be a pretty good shot at 15 yards. But I can't hit the paper plates I use for target practice at 25 yards (so no grouping to tell you about). I thought it was me, and it could still be me but...
My deputy friend takes me out to the range one day and my gun gernades and became un-firable, so I end up putting my rounds through his duty piece. He says that he sees an improvement when I am shooting his GLOCK. I didn't think anything of it cause he is one of those "only carries a GLOCK" people (well that and a S&W Tactical) and he wanted to talk **** about a cheaper XD.
Then last week, my friend hands me his HK chambered in .45 and I notice I am hitting what I am aiming for. So then I decide to try his SA 1911 (a very pretty gun!). And again, I hit the paper plates! So out of curiosity I pick up my roomates HighPoint C9, and I hit the plate again!
So I ask the kid with the .45s what he thinks is up and after he looks at the gun, he says he thinks that my front site is too small and causes me to drift it.
By the way, at 10 and 15 yards, if I aim at the center fo the paper plate, I end up hitting lower left and landing my shots on the cardboard box I tape my targets too. I compensate by aiming a little high right. What should I be doing to correct for this?
Does anybody here have pictures of their sites (both stock and aftermarket)?
