Awful grouping

[dalek]

Here is my lousy grouping at 7yd (single hand, left):

What am I doing wrong and how can I improve on it?

Well the P64 isn't a target pistol and that looks pretty good to me for 21 feet and one handed.

If it was a BG he would be a hurtin unit.

Was this your first time out with it?

Does it have the original recoil and hammer springs?

[dalek]

I've had it for a while (two years?), but only this year I actually started practicing with it. And even that has been not as often as I would like (like once every few months). Not finding 9x18 locally at a sane price did contribute to that.

About the springs, yeah I did get the Wolf ones. I think I am using 19lb but I do not know if I like how light the SA trigger mode feels now. It is almost like if I breath too close to the trigger it will fire. In DA mode, it did improve some, to the point I can keep it in target while squeezing trigger single handed... I think.

In any case, what should I be working on? Better trigger control?

Focus on the front sight (works for me) and don't pull to the right with your trigger finger, pull straight back. Get a snap cap and you can practice for hours in the comfort of your living room.

You posted a link to this thread you newb

(I say that in jest btw)

If you shop around online, you will find prices around $12/box with shipping for hollow points.

I need a PC refresher course

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have been practicing at home and, among other things, found out that pressing the trigger using the first knuckle area moves the nose of the gun to the right. However, using the area below the nail (or between that and the knuckle) seems to keep the nise quiet. I think I have improved somewhat:

Still have a lot of work to do, including being able to repeat that at speed, but it sure looks better.

Sure looks pretty good to me.

Glad to see 9x18 prices haven't been affected by this AWB madness.

A lot of places don't have it in stock though.
