I own both striker fired pistols (SA's, Glocks and recently a LG9S Pro) as well as 1911's, CZ's and a Canik. When shooting my striker fired pistols, my accuracy is somewhat embarrassing. At 21 feet I'm within the 7 ring on a B29 target, shooting primarily left but my shots are all over. About 3 weeks ago I was at the range with my SR1911 (Commander), CZ P07 and Canik L120. In single action at 21 feet, I would guess that 70% of my shots were within the 10 ring, with most of the remainder in the 9 ring. My misses, of which there were very few, were in the 8 ring.
I'm absolutely stumped. My SA's and the LC9s feel great ergonomically and i love the trigger pull on them. I'm not that crazy about Glock's ergonomics, but I shoot them just as well (or poorly) as the others. My friends pick up the SA's and are accurate with them, so i know it's me. At this point I'm stumped, as I have no idea why I shoot fairly well in single action and the striker fired ones so poorly. I could understand a slight difference, but not this dramatic. Without seeing me shoot, I understand it's difficult to diagnose, but any tips would be appreciated. I'm going to the range this weekend and am going to try larger grip inserts in the SA's, hoping an adjustment in my grip helps.
