I fired my first pistol 1 year ago during my conceal carry class.
Since then I have been to the range many times and shot a good 4,000 plus rounds, easily.
I primarily shoot and carry a Glock 19. I have no issues hitting where I aim. I can shoot it one handed, off handed, and "without aiming" (meaning having my arm down brining it up and firing without really focusing on the sight picture, IE a rushed, arenaline type move) and hit center of mass on a 20' Target.
MY PROBLEM is I can't hit Center of Mass consistently at 10' with the Khar. I have this problem with an assortment of other firearms, the Khar has just been the most extreme. Even close up I have a really hard time hitting within say 12" of where I am aiming. It doesnt matter how hard I focus I just cant seem to shoot a whole variety of firearms accurately.
I can shoot my GP100 with full power loads just about as well as the glock, but it does require focus, and there are a few others that I have good control with.
MY QUESTION is this common? Is it perhaps related to grip angle and the wrist?
I understand that practice with one gun improves efficiency with that gun. But some guns are just naturally on target for me and others just are bad. I practice with the Khar almost equally with the Glock as I prefer to carry it, but I dont as I cant hit consistently at point of aim. And its not the specific Khar thats the problem. My wife can drive tacks with it (very tight groupings at least) and I have the same problem with my friends Khar.
