So I'm at the local Indoor Range yesterday evening. Putting rounds down range. I've brought with me two pistols, my RIA 1911-CS, and my S&W Sigma 9mm. Now it takes me a little warming up before I start respectably placing rounds on target at about 10yrds. I was shooting 6in circles, and seeming to be able to place all shots in the black, usually within a 3" grouping. But then something strange happened. I picked up the RIA, which was being fed a dose of 230g Aguila, pointed at the target, and fired. And my first shot hit about 6-7" low. I continued to shoot the pistol to see if my a was pushing the muzzle down, but that didn't seem to be the case. A gentleman next to me by the name of Jim allowed me to shoot his Springfield Government. Same story, I was shooting about 6-8inches low.
Now I have never actually taken this out target shooting. Just shooting B-27 type targets for concealed carry purposes. Which it does seem to do fine with, and now that I think about it, shots may have been a little low. I don't really think I'm pushing. And I don't seem to be with the Sigma, which actually has more felt recoil to me. What do you guys think?
