I took my 247/ Pro DS 9mm out to the range this weekend for only the second time since I bought it several weeks ago. I shot 1 box of 50 rounds and the gun performed perfectly. The very first time I shot it a few weeks ago, I was shooting low and to the left. The first few times I shot this weekend, I was again shooting low left. I started to notice that right before I pulled the trigger, I was anticipating the recoil and I would jerk the gun a little. On the last 2 magazines, I started to really concentrate on keeping it steady and on target at the trigger pull and the first shot was on the red center dot. The rest of the rounds were inside of the 4" diameter circle at 7 yards. It looks like the gun is actually very accurate, I just need more practice.
well glad it coming around for you!
We hear so much of the low and left stuff as most shooters are right handed.
some new posters think we have crystal balls when we state "you are right handed aren't you?
, well no its just that its such a common problem, a left hander will typically have problems low and right!
many do not like to hear this and suggest that they are much better shots than this and actually have no shooting faults at all, its nice to see that a few do understand that shooting is like Golf, Bowling, basketball, its a sport that takes prcatice to become avergae, a lot of practice and instruction to become good and natural talent to become great at it.
Not sure if anyone has given you the problem solver below or not, print it out , take it to the range with you and refer to it when needed, hell i still got one in my range bag, although its now yellow and was hand printed on parchment paper i have had it so long.
I had seen that shooting chart before and that is what made me think that I may be jerking the gun instead of the sights being off. My 24/7 is my 4th pistol so shooting is nothing new. But, there is a different feel to this gun and the trigger pull is different. I will just have to practice more to become proficient with this particular gun.
When I was in the military, we would spend a lot of time working on trigger pull by balancing a dime on the barrel as we pulled the trigger. It was good practice to help keep the gun very steady as a shot was fired.
good job! And you're definitely not going to master any weapon in two sittings. Just keep at it, and those groups will shrink down!
