Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

Brings up a question some one may be able to advise me on. I shoot to the left with every pistol I own. Since its all of them I know its me and not them. What is a likely cause of that? I use the finger tip and a good grip. Maybe a slight flinch in expectation of recoil that Im not noticing?
Usually anticipation/flinch/bad trigger control. Usually if you can fix the trigger issue, the other can be fixed with reps. I’d recommend focusing hard on dry fire. Consult the works from Ben Stoeger and similar shooters.
 
Using the finger tip could well push the muzzle to the side.
The finger should be placed so that it is natural to pull/press the trigger straight back. For me, depending on gun, that means either the pad of the finger, or in some cases the first joint.
By finger tip I meant pad, but I'll do some experimenting.

Still technically a handgun... 😏

Making progress on my MP5 (SP5)...

Current Mods:

- Safety Harbor Firearms KES aluminum collapsable tailpiece (It is SUPER NICE! Tight fit, no play, extremely sturdy, nice finish...Highly recommend. 👍🏼)

- GearHead Works Tailhook Mod1c (compact) aluminum brace (also super nice quality and fit & finish)

- Dakota Tactical (D-Tac) MLOK handguard (excellent fit & finish, nice unit)

- MFI MP5 Extended Length pic rail for optic (a bit weird getting it squared-up on top, but once you use a set of levels it's a breeze)

- Rugged Obsidian 45 w/ Rugged 9mm Tri-Lug adapter (apparently they offer 2 different models and the 9mm model is made to fit the MP5 like a glove...Which is does).

- Optic... Haven't decided, but most likely a Holosun 510, like I have on my other "pistols". I really like the Holosuns, they're great red dots.

- Ammo... Federal LE HST 147gr Subsonic (for home defense), and Federal American Eagle 147gr Flat Point Subsonics for plinking/range.

*** Also bought a JMac Customs 1913 MP5 tailpiece incase I decide to run an AB8R (brace) & 1913 side-folder setup on it. Still debating on the SBR stamp or not. I kind of like the tailhook brace, and it's very sturdy and is really comfortable. Also, it gets treated like a handgun, and not an NFA item, so easier to tote around concealed in the vehicle without harassment.

Once you go black....
I am located in HSV if you ever want to go shoot. your avatar is funny.

I normally post on the CZ site but here are some of my favs.

  1. The Cmore sighted one is an SP-01 that fully cajuned and put a threaded barrel on to shoot open major - still working on the comp - I sold an S2 to build it
  2. CZ97 before it was converted to SAO - still carry another stock 97
  3. Current Fav - my very first CZ - 75B isralie surplus poor condition - fully rebuilt cajuned/SAO fitted the A-01 slide that I bought used and plopped a new Holosun on it. Planning to shoot LO with it some this season.
  4. Ruger Black Grand Mamba build - TK kraken lower, MadMaccs 16" barrel vol bolt and trigger with rifle scope. I made a case for it with an old tennis bag
  5. Ruger MkII 10" that I found at a gun show on my birthday - MkIIs are "Tha Best"...
  6. Ruger Mk4 10" scoped
  7. Group pic in the back of the '78 Bronco on "Choot 'em all" range day
Have a great week - spew the pew!

Got quite a few more but new phone and havent been able to transfer the other ~20 ish pics of my other pistols.
Shown is my Sig 227 Elite with my first F1 pistol can before i started making my own boosters.

Then the VP9-LB with one of the first batch long slide kits that came through prior to the VP9LB Match version - god I was foolish to drop almost as much on that slide as I did the gun itself.

Then my S&W XVR .460 Smith i got in a trade for a W.Ger 220 that had seen better days.
Finally a Gen 4 G19 C i picked up as I was looking for a cheap pistol for a carry piece instead of the USP Expert or P2k that isnt as easy to replace.

That .460 Smith appears to be quite the beast... good polar bear medicine I reckon.
