Well, I got pics.

These are left handed.

Right handed will follow if I can get the pic into the computer....lol.
Anyway, left handed I shoot to the right a lot. Right handed I shoot to the left. But not a lot of low left, I think we have that one sorted!
 
Great shooting! If I had to guess, I would think its because you are yanking the trigger in anticipation of the recoil. Not sure if your instructor has done it, but have him load a snap cap into your pistol somewhere, then when you shoot it you will see how your hands move when you shoot.

Either way, homeboy is dead.

Yes, he has done that a lot of times. The weird thing is that sometimes we can see the barrel dip and then sometimes it won't dip at all. I'm consistently inconsistent.
I told him I'm not afraid of the recoil any more, but he says my brain might be reacting even though I think I'm all good with it.
Our next session is 2-14, so I'll get him to do the snap caps....again....sometimes he puts 2 in in a row, I hate that!
But things are getting better, I think. I shot really well Monday, today was ok, but any range day is an excellent day to me.
And yes. The bad guy bit the dust!

Sounds good! After a while it isn't really fear of the recoil, it can be the anticipation of it. Ive been shooting for years, and I still find myself "pushing" against the recoil and it throws my aim off. Any day at the range is a good day as long as you are safe! Very proud of you!

Thanks for the encouragement!
 
Its a natural reaction to the recoil/percussion (not fear) .......... Sometimes i will still catch myself pushing forward a bit. Then i have to slow down and concentrate on what im doing again. You are doing just fine.
 
Good job, regardless that criminal is dead.
 
Color me curious. With your regular shooting have you experienced ANY malfunctions with your chosen weapon? ANY and What kind If Any???

I have had a few. At one time, the slide wasn't locking back at the end of a magazine, so I was told to clean the magazines, and that solved that. (Doing that was a huge PITA, btw!)
I've had one stove pipe, and one double feed.

That's about it, I'm pretty sure. My gun seems to do pretty well, I think, and doesn't seem to mind my not cleaning it as much as I probably should, but it's not as though I shoot thousands of rounds a month! It does have a liking for Fiocchi ammo, though it will go with whatever there is. Some kinds just make it dirtier than others.

Are these issues a lot, from your experience? I've been shooting this gun since October last year. Aside from the training, I go 2-3 times a week and shoot on my own. I could figure out the round count, roughly, if you need to know, but my head might explode. Sometimes I do 50 and sometimes 150. In training we might do 100 every 2 weeks. Sometimes we do more. Is any of this helpful to you, or just confusing the issue? Lol.
