I pull to the left . . . and to the right

So, with my P2000, I pull slightly to the left. Actually a little bit more since I started actually using my LEM trigger like its supposed to be used.

But with my Glock 20, I pull slightly to the right

The handy little chart that I probrobly got from here but can't remember where I saved it from.

Limeyfellow's chart is handy, but if the pistol doesn't fit your hand you might as well have a rock. Where your finger is matters too.
"...using my LEM trigger like its supposed to be used..." Please explain.

Grip the empty weapon very firmly with one hand, as if to shoot it.
Your trigger finger and thumb should play no significant role in gripping the weapon.

With the first segment of your trigger finger CENTERED on the trigger so as to pull straight back, see if a pencil will fit freely between the side of the weapon and the third segment of your finger.

Then you will have a good idea if the gun fits your hand properly.

Consistency is the beginning, the middle, and the end of accuracy.

Need more info, if its happening from a rest it could be the guns. What range are you shooting?
