Shootin left.

[Derek.J.]

I was out shooting today and everything was going a bit to the left. I was going a bit high too, but I fixed that. Any thoughts on how to fix my left issue. I shoot right handed an was using a CZ P07 and my M&P 9C. Thanks.

I can only suggest what I do.

When I pull the trigger, I use the tip of my index finger; only.. Too much finger on the trigger can cause your issue.

When I pull the trigger, I pull straight back, I used to visualize it, not it comes natural.

Anticipating recoil can cause your issue as well. Have someone load up your magazine with some snap-caps. If the gun "moves or jumps" when you pull the trigger on a snap-cap your anticipating recoil

PB was very nice in his suggestions, I have a tendency to be a bit more blunt

The usual response is that you're jerking the trigger, but..."a bit left" isn't very specific.
How far left?
How far away is the target?
How tight a group are you shooting?

Assuming that you are right handed and that your "strong" hand is your right hand, it could be:
1. Jerking the trigger...various reasons
2. Amount of trigger finger on the trigger
3. Over gripping with the strong hand...either finger tip, thumb, or both

A common recommendation is to have someone else, who is a proven good shooter, shoot it to see if it hits at the same place for them

The finger may be it. Come to think of it. Thanks. The grouping was about an inch or two left of the bull's-eye. From about 10 yards.

I find diagnostic targets like this helpful.

More than likely grip or sight alinement. The grip issue would be easier to diagnose if I knew what hand you were shooting with.

Right.

On a side note. Ever since I got my CZ I've been kinda hoping someone with a G19 would be at the range and we'd swap guns for a few. That actually happened today. He came up asking about mine, and asked to trade for a few minutes. So I got to try a Glock like I wanted. Still like my CZ better.

It was my understanding that hitting left results from too LITTLE finger on the trigger (assuming a right-handed shooter).

Your correct. Too little finger (right handed) causes more contact on the right side of the trigger and forces the gun left.
