Hey everyone. I found out the pistol that a certain Police department uses is the S&W Model 5906 Its the department I recently got hired for. I just have to pass some tests and whatnot. (God Willing)
Anywho, I decided to try it out at the range. It was only my second time ever firing that pistol. It has a lot of travel for the trigger, but the overall trigger pull isnt that bad. Its recoil is standard for a 9mm, but it seems to be harder to control than a glock, sig or other ergonomic pistol.
Anyway, I started off warming up at 10 yards. No misses, but a lousy group. It got better and better. I was standing with my legs should with apart, two arms holding the gun. I made sure my finger wasnt in the trigger so much that it pulled my shots to the right. I also made sure that my left hand that was cupping the gun wasnt pushing it to the right. After some great tips from the staff I was doing alright.
15 yards, was the exact same thing. However, the problem I seem to be having the most is that my shots are going really low. Every time I shot at the chest, it would go down towards the belly/groin area. Whats the deal???
Also, my one handed shooting (right hand) is so much better than my two handed. I got groups that were much tighter than the two handed shooting. Whats going on there?
Any help would be appreciated.
