Got my first 9mm a little while ago, a Girsan Regard MC, and I cannot for the life of me shoot the damn thing straight, only putting maybe half (give or take) my shots on an 11x17 paper at 20 yards. I can place all shots in a largish (say 6") group on a benchrest reliably with it. Also had this issue with a couple other guns I've tried (9mm and 45 ACP). I've put maybe 100 rounds through the new gun, plus a a dozen or so mags through other guns I've tried in the last 6 months.
I am by no means a good shot (wouldn't go as far to call myself half-decent) but I can put revolvers in the target rings pretty reliably at 20 yards with 6 o'clock sights and small-profile (for lack of a better term) fiber-optic combat sights, and I can get a pretty decent group with a 22 semi-auto pistol with a red dot sight.
Is it just a "need more practice" thing, or is there something I should be looking out for? I know I can flinch sometimes but I've been trying to work on it and I assume if that was my only problem I'd be doing just as bad with revolvers and the 22 pistol.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
