I took my Sigarms 1911 out for the first time on Sunday, and while I am happy to report that it outperformed the brand new Kimber in the lane next to me (I had no failures of any sort in 100+ rounds, he had 5), I have to admit that I am a terrible shot.
After about 50 rounds I finally started consistently putting round on paper at 7 yards. Yes, it was that bad. Once I did begin at least hitting paper everything was falling low and to the left of point of aim. Whatever I am doing wrong I did consistently wrong on the last two mags, because I managed to shoot a ragged hole. However, the hole was not being made where I wanted it to be made.
So, based on my description, does anyone have any suggestions as to what stupid mistake I am making?
This is my first pistol, I have fired numerous rifles, and while I am not a sharpshooter with a rifle, I am considerably better than with my pistol.
