My .45 ACP Colt Government has Hogue finger groove grips and fixed sights.
Shooting off a rest I group well. However, in competition I have always tended to shoot low. If I don't concentrate to the point of a headache I will shoot as much as 6 inches low at 15-yards. Miss a lot of plates that way.
Yesterday a shooter the range offered his opinion and experience that finger groove grips feel great but tend to cause a shooter "pull the gun" resulting in the barrell tipping down in front and yielding a low shot.
Of course, installing adjustable sights would fix the problem at a fixed range as long as my mistakes were consistent. Not a good answer. I know the correct answer is for me to improve my skill.
But, before I invest in new grips, do you guys have any opinion or experience with this issue?
Will dumping the finger groove grips improve this "low group" problem all by itself?
