I noticed today that I shoot 3" groups at 15 yards when I put the gun down and pick up my binoculars after two or three shots. On the other hand, when I shot 5 rounds in a row without lowering the gun or in any way re-positioning it in my hand, my group size drops to just over 2".
If this really is as critical as I'm starting to think it is, any suggestions for how to be sure the gun goes into the shooting hand exactly the same way every time? The only thing i can think of, is to pick up the gun with the support hand, and feed it into the shooting hand. Maybe there are more tricks I don't yet know.
I suspect part of the reason I'm having this problem is because my Les Baer Premiere II has a gigantic surfboard for a thumb safety, and a very stiff spring pushing out the grip safety. With my Colt Combat Commander, the gun fits my hands much better.... but I still shoot better with the Baer.
I hope this isn't too silly a question to be asking here, but I was amazed by how big a difference it made, simply by not releasing or changing my hold on the gun.
