1. Depends on how you align your sights, everyone is different.2. You could be anticipating recoil and pushing the gun down. 3.Try a hi g her wei g t bullet, they tend go shoot to a higher point.

 

I was just about to say this as well. I find that my G3 does the same thing and while looking into Firing Drills someone mentioned it in a Youtube video. I wish I could remember but I think it was Massad Ayoob's Critical Mas Episode 12. That may be a good place to start, also take a look at his Episode 17 on thumb position to help strengthen your ability to stabilize a gun; and to get back to zero quicker.

I hope this is helpful

Change something ...
Sights can be adjusted or replaced .'
Ammo can be changed , different ammo - different POI .
Change your grip .
Change the guns Grips ... new gripswill shift POI .
Change your sight picture ... Adjust POAim to coencide with your POImpact .

Not much in life is perfect ... it's up to you to find / make an adjustment ...
It's not hard ... Just Do It !

I recommend you borrow a pistol rest at your local range and see how the pistol groups at 25 yards. If it groups dead on, then you have a problem with recoil anticipation and are slapping or jerking the trigger - i.e., you have a pretty nasty flinch. The rest will help. If you have a friend, have them load a few random dummy rounds between live ones while your back is turned. If you have a flinch, that will show it. It's the best way that I've found for identifying and curing a flinch.

 

I'd like to 2nd a pistol rest. Another thing if you can't use a pistol rest is attaching a laser but don't adjust the laser dot or even look at it, doesn't really matter where the dot lands for this test. Just use the sights, have someone else watch what the dot does. If the problem occurs when pulling the trigger it will be obvious to the person observing.

 

I thinks it's very unlikely to be the ammo or handgun at that distance. Take a close look at your grip and your trigger pull.

 

No it is not odd for a gun to shoot 4-5" low at 25 yards. If I really liked that load I would file the top of the front sight to bring POI to meet POA.

 

First, simply let someone else take a few shots. If you both hit about the same it's probably the gun. If not think something else. To go off and ask a bunch of strangers on a fourm that knows not you or the gun. Well. You get a bunch of strange answers. You should learn the gun. Not others.

 

I respectively disagree. You're a stranger as well and give good advice. There are good ideas on forms and of course bad. He'd get the same in person at the range.

 

Most issues can be traced to the user I hate to say, but it is true. Few of us have taken classes with the likes of Taran Butler, Jerry Miculek, or Mas Ayoob.
Try the pistol rest or the laser sight first to see what is happening. If getting to the range is difficult get a laser cartridge from your gun shop or Amazon and dry fire with that to see how much the gun moves when pulling the trigger.
Next should be working on your grip, both how tight and the way you hold it.
Don't modify the sights until you exhausted all other options as they are not likely the issue.

 

How does it shoot at 20 feet or 7 yards or in that range? My thoughts are at that distance would be personal protection range. Maybe max range for protection.
I’ve had this same fight with myself over accuracy with my G3 and G3C. I beat myself up over it. Mine cycle flawlessly, shot all the different 115 gr. ammo without issues I’ve used so far, they were inexpensive. For home protection mine are fine. If I did use for cw carry they would be fine also.
But to take to the range and shoot distances and accuracy I gave up on myself with that and don’t want to beat myself up any more.
This is not a dis on Taurus. That series gun is what it is. I think I’m lucky when it comes reliability and not having issues. No feeding or cycling issues.
