Some time back, I posted here in this forum about a first model Smith and Wesson 9mm Shield that had a point of impact issue, and received some replies that I must be at fault, via technique or flinching or whatever. Now, I fire full-house .357 Magnums out of a revolver without any serious issues, and generally hit where I'm aiming until I've put quite a few though it in a shooting session, so flinching from a 9mm wasn't my problem. I discovered, via some "empirical testing" that it was ammo sensitive. For whatever reason, it just didn't like certain 115 grain FMJs. It likes 124s just fine, and even 115s of other brands. I stay away from the brands that it doesn't like and it has made a difference. So, maybe your pistol is ammo sensitive, as well. Best of luck to you.Medley86 wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 7:31 pm I ordered and picked up a new hellcat a few weeks ago. Right out of the box it shot low left. Made adjustments to make sure it wasn't me pushing the shots off, and when dry firing the front sight doesn't move on the trigger break. Went back out and still low left, every time I shoot it the groups are decent but always low left. This was the 1st 9mm i have owned(bought the wife a shield 2.0 9 at the same time) and the only ammo I could get at the time was some 115 gr fiochii. Her shield does fine with it good center hits, but mine is always off. Even had a couple other people try and they did the same. I plan on trying some different weight bullets to find something that hits closer. Has anyone else bought a pistol which is reviewed to be fairly accurate and had to play with the sights to get it on right out of the box? I also own a Springfield xdm in 40sw and it was and is dead on right out of the box.
