So, today I had a bit of free time (laugh) and I decided to get some range time in. I warmed up just plinking with my 22 handgun. Its a really old gun that happened to be my first hand gun and is a target pistol. After I warmed up I decided to run a few 10 shot groups though my main carry. Man, was I disappointed. My main carry is an XD40SC and I do not use the grip extensions. I have tried pierce but found it to print to much. So I stick to the sub compact magazine(not clip).
My problem is this...I suck with a subcompact grip. I started off with my subcompact magazines and was so disappointed I switched to a full size mag with grip extension and did much better. I then switched back to the smaller mag and sucked again.
My groups were as follows.
22LR.
10 of 10 head
XD40SC with service size mag
6 of 10 head
9 of 10 Center of mass
XD40SC with SC magazine
2 of 10 Head
3 of 10 Head
7 of 10 Center of mass
5 of 10 Center of mass.
So is there some secret to gripping a sub compact that I don't know of? I really want to be proficient with my carry gun and even though I have not been to the range in 3 months. This is highly unacceptable.
Any advice is appreciated and positive informative posts will be repped!
