went to the range to day and was shooting my carry gun a xd9 subcompact im a south paw and never was to good of a shot with a pistol. i sthot a couple mags thruogh it and was always shooting about 2.5- 3 inches to the right then i decided to try some week hand shooting. now i have never tried to do this before today so i wasnt looking for much but within about 4 shots i was almost in the bull and holes almost touching. this really didnt make sense so i tried left hand and again i was to the right with shots spread out. i finally changed my grip to more of a revolver grip and it was like i was shooting a different gun. i was shooting almost as good as i did with my right hand. so help me out what was i doing wrong before it didnt feel like the gun was twisting in my hand and had a good grip.
