[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1141602, member: 229"] In my opinion, fixing the problem at its core is much more important than putting a Band-aid on it. If you can't hit POI with a gun that is configured to do so properly, you shouldn't be carrying it (I'm not saying this gun is configured properly, the sights could very well be off - in which case, I stand by my earlier post of "let a more experienced qualified shooter shoot it first"). If the OP has time to take a day to drop the gun off with someone who can adjust the sights, then he has that same amount of time for one of the qualified folks on this board (or an instructor at H&H or somewhere else up that way) to teach him proper trigger control, grip, stance, etc... Or for that matter, to watch one of the videos listed in this thread and practice some of those things at the range and see if his issue is still there. If his grip isn't (or wasn't) consistent, then he faces the problem of all of his shots not being low/left all the time - then if you've adjusted the sights, you've caused your shot to be off part of the time. If he's flinching or doing something else incorrectly, then with adrenalyn pumping under duress, he might not flinch and shoot too far to the right with the sights adjusted incorrectly. The answer should never be to compensate for incorrect shooting, but to correct the shooting first, and then carry/shoot with confidence. [/QUOTE]
