For me, I can't shoot a DA revolver to save my life, my spread could almost be measured in feet
 ! I would love, LOVE to get a S&W model 29 with a 4inch barrel, its a piece of art, but can't spend the money on a gun I will probably suck at shooting! Anyone else have a gun they would love to be good at shooting?

I just wish ammo was cheaper/more available so I could shoot all my guns well.
Nice avatar, btw. |

Get some good coaching. most likely you are doing something wrong, and you don't know it. An experienced coach will pick up on such things.

Glock have thousands of rounds through a 17 I got 6 years ago and cannot shoot it worth a fuck. I keep it at my moms for a home defense weapon.

I have shot and shoot them just fine in Single Action, but if I can't use the weapon in all the ways it was made to be use I'm pretty sure it would just drive me nuts! |

I dont shoot my AR as well as would like. I have good "Combat accuracy" in that i usually make good effective hits on torso sized targets out to 200 yds or so, but I would like to tighten up my groups some

I've had tons, I have some .mil disability in my hands and it seems to really make itself apparent with longer triggers, does the same thing with the LEM trigger on an HK, up close I'm dandy, at 15yards my groups open up something fierce. I can shoot Glocks, 1911's, Berretta's, CZ's, Ruger SR's and BHP's without an issue, but anything thats Double Action or has a long pull I'm SOL! |

Huh, I would've assumed it would require me standing in the flying crane position with a revolver balanced on my head watching Dirty Harry movies
Hell maybe I'll just get the .44 anyway, worst case the future Mrs. USNPJS is a damn crack shot with a revolver, but can't shot a 1911 to save her life for some innane reason. |

I wish I were better with snubnose revolvers. Unfortunately, I don't really like the one I've got (S&W 442) enough to practice much with it.

My Romanian SAR2.
I've had it for probably a decade, and stashed away a few spam-cans of 5.45 N76 surplus ammo for it. I shot it for function a few times, and put it away. I just finally got around to getting "serious" with it this summer, I de-banned it with a threaded Romanian FSB, a US-made CNC Warrior 74-style brake, and put a PSOP scope on it, and to find it's shooting 5-6" at only 20 yards from a Caldwell rest. That's like 25MOA.
I haven't given up all hope yet, but I'm worried it's a dog.

Make sure your not getting strikes inside the new brake you put on, also try shooting with irons first resting off of the magazine so your not pushing up on the barrel with the Caldwell rest. I have seen a Polish Tantal do that and once taking to 100 yards it key holed very bad at that distance. It seems like the 5.45 is such a long projectile its shoots horrible in some barrels that are slightly out of spec. Its not the end of the world though if your handy with tools and rent a press or purchase cheap harbor freight press to replace your barrel. That is a very nice Romanian and worth putting the effort into and it may....... push you over the edge of building AK's for fun

G19. I'm hoping its just the stock sights, but I can't hit shit with it. One day I'll get around to replacing them with something better and find out one way or the other.

Pietta cattleman muzzle loader, love it dearly but I'll be damned if I can hit a target at 25 yards. Range doesn't allow for any shooting closer than that. But my pistol shooting options over here are limited. |

Patterns like a shotgun beyond 5-7 yards, which bothers me quite a bit. Beyond about 10 yards, paper plate size groups. Stock sights are pretty bad and my eyesight isn't the best either, so that's why I'm holding out hope I can fix it. |

Glock G34, bought one new and took it with me every time i went to the range for a year and a half but never could put a shot where I wanted it, traded it in an an HK USP 9mm and on my first trip out I put all my shots in the 8 ring at 7 yards.

Quite honestly, I think my AR shooting leaves a lot to be desired. I am untrained, and could certainly use more trigger time, but other guns seem to be more forgiving.

my polish p64. it doesn't help that the rear sight thingie is a bit loose.
figured it would always be used more as a BUG at close range, but even at a few yards I have trouble with it. Kicks pretty hard too... |

Thompson Contender.
Couldn't keep it on target from a rest at 15 yards. 
Traded it for an S&W .41 Mag., and all was good again.

For me, most .22 handguns. I was pretty poor with my Bersa Thunder 22 and now with my Colt/Walther 1911 Gold Cup, I am pretty average as well. The one time I shot a Kimber kit, I was decent though so maybe it is just the guns and me needing to practice more.
I also wish I could shoot my Mosins better, but I am not awful with them. They just aren't very pleasant. |
