Pro tip: A customer's grip was throwing off his pistol shots

This guy came in sure his sights were off. I had him fire a few rounds at the bench. His thumb was pressing on the slide during recoil. Fixed his grip and the shots lined up perfect. Now I watch how people hold a gun before I touch a thing.

That thumb pressing on the slide issue comes up more than you'd think. I fixed it for a friend by having him focus on his support hand pressure. Suddenly his shots were all in the black.

Took me six months to realize I was doing the same thing. Guess I should have paid for a lesson instead of burning all that ammo.

Feel your pain, man... kellyw44 is right about that support hand pressure making a huge difference.
