Not sure if that is your issue, but just a thought.

This is very possible. I found most non-American designed (Sig, Walther, HK, many Beretta, etc. ) use the combat sight picture. The Hellcat is an HS Product (Croatia) so it probably does the same which would account for the low hits. For the left/right you are probably not jerking, but you may be pushing, look at your trigger finger placement. It is a different grip than you're use to and that affects where your finger is. If shooting left, add more finger, in other words move the trigger closer to you first crease in your finger (for right handed shooters). If shooting right, move the trigger closer to the tip of your finger.

Every gun is different. The Hellcat is a nice little piece of work but you will always have growing pains new kitten (all puns intended...)

If all of that doesn't work, adjust the damn sights to fit your personal style.

Shot it some more today, only 30 rounds but if I use a combat hold and move my finger deeper on the trigger it is pretty close to dead on. Even when I started picking up the pace it still didn't drift too much. All 30 would have stayed in the black on a torso target. Thanks for the advice guys it really helped. There is a new micro red dot that is supposed to release soon designed to work on the hellcat that if it is priced around what the other dots the company make will definitely be picked up and installed which will mean a whole new learning curve. It would be terrible if I was forced to shoot a few hundred more rounds a year to stay proficient with another gun.
