When it is new, you have little anticipation on the trigger and do well. After a while you start to get worse. It has been that way with every pistol I have owned. So it shows that the problem is me more that anything. Overcoming the me is the real art of accuracy. :evil:
Gongs are great feedback, 6" at 50 yds is within the expected accuracy of the XD, but few try it. Keep banging away at it and closer stuff will seem simpler.:grin:
