Accuracy problems - Sig 229 SAS vs XD9's - Page 2

I got my instructor to fire my pistol, it showed me that it was clearly me that was causing the problem, changed my grip and did lot's of dry fires. Now I just need to work on my habit of "canting" the pistol upwards a bit when doing a quick draw from the holster.

I put a total of 50 rounds through the P229 SAS this weekend using the new gun rest -- Its is me NOT the P229. All 50 rounds were no more than 2.0" apart! I guess I will practice dry fire more often, I am still considering getting a Lasermax as a training tool to weed out my problem.

Well, that's good news Sailor....the Sig .40's are accurate guns; my duty P229 with a traditional DA trigger pull is very accurate and equally controllable. I wish my agency transitions to P229R DAKs...but they won't since our guns are only about three years old.

Hmmm sounds like an ergonomics issue maybe.

For example I have big hands but the following happened to me.: I've owned many Glocks with the 9mm/40 frame with no real problems with gripping the pistol.
I had a chance on a good deal on a 20C Glock 10mm and jumped on it as this one seemed ideal for my wants in a "10". Well that thing shot like a dream when benched but shot waaay low when fired offhand.
Plus I've owned a DE .44mag pistol and didn't have that issue at all and that had a bigger but different shaped grip than the 20C.

Sometimes thigs can be funny that way.
