I just got back from the indoor range and took the USP9f and the Ruger MkII out for a little exercise.
I'm a little perplexed by my performance as follows:
After a bit of warm-up with the .22lr at 25ft, I back the target up to 50ft. I've been alternating magazines between the 2 firearms with the logic that any quirks in my shooting will be magnified by the differences in caliber.
Results: I'm grouping very well with both guns at 50ft but the Ruger is grouping to the right of center and the HK is grouping to the left of center.......consistently. If I could put those groups into the center, I'd feel like I'm doing something. The target looks like I folded it down the center and shot 2 inches off of that cente line in a mirror image (except for the different size holes of course)
So....any armchair diagnosis? I know the HK shoots true as a friend took it out with my wife and nailed the 10 ring with 10 shots at 50ft (besides, it has fixed sites). The Ruger is a bit suspect as I had a new rear site put on it.....could be that it's just not sighted properly.
What would explain the big difference between the two?
