 Has anyone had experience with the 40 or 45 grouping fairly well...just not where you're aiming ?
I have 40 S*W tactical that shoot well at 25yd...but  3" high and 3" left...165gr FMJ and HPs..the sights are centered on the slide.  Tried a few different makers of ammo...pattern may shift a little but no hits on POA.   Recommendations ??

Search for the "Pistol Correction Chart."  It should help you out a bit, as it tells you likely causes for where the round is hitting on the target.

My XTM .40 was printing about 2" to the left when I first bought it.  It did it for two long-time shooters (and LEO firearms instructors) and when fired from a rest.  A quick sight adjustment took care of the problem.  So while it could be shooter induced, it may also be the gun.



I'd try using a rest & having multiple shooters shoot it.  If everyone has the same results, it's likely an issue with the pistol.  If it's just you, then it's just you.

I would suggest bench resting it also. When I first bought my wife's xd9sc it shot to the left. Had a buddy of mine shoot it also and he shot left. We benched it and it was dead on. Adjusted my grip and I was now dead on.

if this is a gun issue and not a shooter issue then i would consider that odd, the xd that i own and the many that i have shot have been spot on.
