Revelation

[Fat Boy]

I was at the range this afternoon shooting my Ruger p90- I haven't shot this gun a great deal since obtaining it, mostly because I wasn't able to hit much with it, and was "catching" most of the ejected casings with my nose-

I was experiencing the same thing today, and decided to slow down and try a few changes; I started loading one round at a time and concentrating on grip and trigger squeeze- ultimately I changed my grip. I had been putting my off-hand forefinger on the front of the trigger guard. I quit that, gripping (wrapping?) my right hand with the four fingers of the left and leaving the left thumb sort of hanging, not contacting anything. (I had started by placing the left-hand thumb along the frame and wound up squeezing it with my trigger finger as I fired) Amazingly, I was able to suddenly hit with what for me is good accuracy; not tack-driving by any stretch, but able to keep the rounds much closer to point of aim. I also found that shooting one-handed produced much better accuracy.

This is probably old news to most shooters, but for me it was a neat development. And for whatever reason, I wasn't getting nearly as many cases to the face with these changes...pretty amazing. I am looking forward to future improvements as I continue to work

I have had similar revelations. It makes shooting more rewarding when you can fix things your doing incorrectly and enjoy your gun!

I shot my first 1911 so bad when I got it that I thought it had a problem until I took a buddy along and he was bouncing a coke can around. Finally fixed my grip and loved it.

Good luck with more changes and better accuracy, just be patient.
