Hi, My name is Nick, i live in indiana and have a question...
So i finally broke down and bought a springfield 1911A1 "loaded" in SS(full size). I love the gun, it has great fit and finish, BUT; whenever i shoot it my shots are WAY off (on the order of about a foot low at 20 feet) and i can't figure out what the problem is. I know it's me and not the gun malfunctioning because my dad can shoot it fine; and about a year ago i shot his WWII vintage colt 1911 and had the same problem. It's driveing me nuts, so far i'v shot about 80 rounds through it and almost all of them are low by about a foot.
I grip the gun firmly with my right hand and my left under the bottom of the magazine, both elbows locked. I'm just shooting regular UMC rounds.
Anybody ever heard of this happening? I am open to any and all sugestions.
Thanks for your time,
-Nick
