Low and Left.
Hey all, I have become aware of an inherent problem when shooting my .45. It is a S&W 457 with a 3 3/4" barrel. Before I get to the problem, I would like to ask how far this gun should be accurate to(and by accurate, what distance should I still be able to get decent groups with it).
Now, my problem. I am constantly shooting low and left with this thing. I don't flinch, keep my eyes on target through the entire pull and shot, but am consistently putting shots low and left where my aim is at. Does anyone know right off of the top of their head what I might be doing wrong? I have been putting forth a lot of effort on a smooth trigger pull, and keeping the gun steady and on target throught the entire pull. I'm guessing that it might be that split second that the trigger drops the hammer? Any help is appreciated. |

Thanks a bunch Baxter. Guess I should have done a search. The link was a big help. Going to work on it at the range tonight.
