Took my brand new XD to the range today. And I am one happy camper!
For Years I have not been worth a danged with a handgun. I found a book that has helped me immensely. "How to Be a Master Handgunner."
What this book has taught me is that for all of these years, I have been gripping the pistol wrong.
After reading about the proper grip techniques, I got out my USP and tried the grip. The USP was WAY yo big for my hand. So I traded it for a XD. It just "fell" into my hand. So I have been dry firing trying the new learned grip.
I went to the range today and I saw an immediate change in where my bullets landed. Still of to the right, I am left handed, so I am pushing the gun with my thumb. Don't so that Gary. So I worked on the proper grip. By the end of the day I was able to put 10 round in the center of the target at about 10 yards. I am excited!
I shot about 125 rounds toady and the gun ran on my reloads, Wolf, Hydra Shocks and Federal Gold Match. I did have a couple of failure to feed with the Wolf but I think I was limp wresting the gun.
I love my new XD and I will only get better!
