So the story goes I traded my 1911 for a compact double action 9mm because I felt impulsively like I needed something "better" and regretted it so much that between a few other transactions I worked my way back down gi alley. Now here's my dilemma. My revolver skills are enough to know that I can squeeze a trigger and not fidget too much when I want to. Also regularly checking my stance an breathing And when I take my NIB 1911 to the range for the first time I'm hitting tight groups with my point and click defensive shooting drills, but when I really get down to business and try to hit my mark, it hits way low and left. Could my trigger squeeze be that rusty for my pistols designed, heavy, single action pull, or might I need to consult a pro on my sights? It's a metro arms American classic G.I. With fixed sights. My old 1911 was used and had adjustable sights.
