Shooting to the left

Blazen,

One of the two main causes, pushing the trigger finger, has already been discussed. If you shoot right handed, the other cause is squeezing the grip tighter as you execute the shot. This is a fairly common problem for many shooting compact pistols.

I shot pistol competitively many years ago while in the Marine Corps. Our pistol team coach, an old USMC warrant officer, would look at our targets after shooting a string of fire and ask if we'd like him to squeeze a certain part of our anatomy like we were squeezing the grip. We all got the point and learned how to properly grasp our weapon while executing a shot.
