Grip help...

After a trip to the range I've noticed that I am consistently shooting 1"-2" low left @ seven yards with different pistols using iron sites. can you suggest anything to look for in my grip that may be producing this result?

TIA
 
well....we don't know how YOU are gripping any of your guns...you provided no pics or videos.

the best anyone can do is, paste some videos here to give you an idea on gripping a gun.

each gun i have, i may have to "adjust" my grip too, so it takes practice on ALL your guns.

here is only 1 video to guide you

 
Hope this thread from the board helps.

Thread 'Is Your Grip Why You Miss?'

The video I’m sharing here is by Geauga Firearms Academy. Watch this video below and let’s have a discussion.



So is your grip the reason you miss? This conversation seems to be wide spread here lately with the release of the new Hellcat. There has been several complaints about the “Low Left” shots with the Hellcat. It’s not the gun folks!!!! Now I don’t have huge hands but they aren’t small ether. Grip is so critical when shooting all types of firearms. I’m sure that when growing up and learning about guns you probably shot a shotgun and felt like it just whooped...

I had the same issues when I bought my first Springfield XD MOD-2.
I found my problem was, I wasn't using a lot of grip pressure, and I found myself slapping the trigger instead of pressing the trigger.
Hope this makes sense.
I learned to shoot years ago with revolvers and did not have any issues.
 
your finger pad placement on the trigger may also play a part (below is for 1911, but can be applied to other pistols as well)...
