[BrianinMD]

Finally got thru all the red tape, and picked up my Walther PPQ M2 tonight. Its a 9mm with a 5 inch barrel. Gave it a good wipe down and ready to hit the range this weekend.

Got out today for the first time, outstanding pistol. The quick trigger reset took a few rounds to get used to. Now I need to get better with it.

I have ALWAYS struggled with shooting handguns, and as much as I practice you'd think I would be better. I shutter to think how bad I would be if I didn't reload and practiced less than I already do (often twice a week).

I think it started clicking for me FINALLY last week. For months on end I practiced grip, stance, sight alignment, etc.....always thinking I had good trigger control.........and I did, dry firing. I loaded up a bunch of mags the other day and did the old "ball and dummy"  drill.............my god do I have a flinch.................combine that with big hands and short fingers, I was using too much finger on the trigger. I am one of those that suffers from the "low and left" problem. After I starting concentrating on this, things got better that day.............a lot better, to the point that I shot the best I ever have. Now If only I can keep it up.

When I started shooting again a couple months ago I was low and left. It was all trigger pull, and have been concentrating on improving it. Now I am am still slightly left, but even with the bullseye. Most shots were right on the edge of the bull rings. Had a few odd flyaway shots with the new PPQ but can work those out as I get used to it.

I don't have a good pic at this point, will get one later and upload.

I'm usually low and left when shooting a new pistola. Trigger control and grip will take care of it. There used to be a chart that shows how you can correct yourself depending on where you hit the target. 

Man, I need to get to the range soon.

Another "tip" that I had passed along to me recently............contrary to what I had always thought, but loosening your bottom fingers in tour strong side grip (as well as proper trigger control) will help correct the "low and left " problems...........at least with 1911's.
