Ever have a pistol you just can't shoot well?

Chiappa Rhino. I didn't buy it, just rented it at the range I shoot at. I do fine at 5 yards, anything further out and I get a 6-9" group. lol

Beretta 92. I bought a 92FS and my shots were all over the target, while my son could put five shots into one ragged hole. I never sorted out what was wrong. I wish I could blame the Beretta's grip size, by my Sig P226 has a grip that is as large, or larger, and I shoot it more accurately than any other gun I own.

Nope, if it shoots as a Pistol.. I can hit paper and adjust. I've yet to find one that I can't figure out.

That's pretty much been the case with me, I can't think of any that I couldn't manage to shoot decently well, but some took a while longer than others to figure out.

Now, there have been guns that no one could shoot well, at least no one I saw shoot that particular handgun. The worst one I've shot was one of those 4-barrel C.O.P. things that my Dad bought. I never found anyone who could shoot it past ten feet and keep the rounds in a shirt-pocket, and few could do that. I think that thing was designed to look scary, not to shoot.

Evaluate, adapt, overcome - that's my take. Most modern handguns are shootable - you might not like them but they do work. You can work on yourself or you can blame the gun. There are some people who complain about the Glock 21: the grip is too thick, the recoil is too hard, so on and so forth.

It's not the gun. It is you. Train, train, train. Or sell it.

My first 1911 was an old Auto Ordinance (Numrich) and it was a big time dog. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

Ruger P345, it shot 18" to 24" to the left for me. Sent it back to Ruger and they shot it in a Ransom rest and was spot on at 25 yds. I was still shooting to the left. Swaped it for a down payment on a 22/250 rifle, I enjoy shooting the rifle more.
