Well if you've been shooting that same target for 6.5 years I'd say you're definitely improving.

corrected YARDS LOL

Yes, the good thing is you are hitting the target. the bad is at 6 yards the group size should be a lot smaller. My advice, slow down, speed comes with practice. As Harvey Penick used to say, practice makes permanent...perfect practice makes perfect. Practice working on smoothness, bring the weapon up, find the front sight and pressing the trigger...twice. Then step back and do it again, and again, and again.....soon you will find that there is one fairly small hole in that target.

Print and use this target, it will help. If it is to small just Google right handed correction target.

Looks good though.. I'm pretty sure in a SHTF situation, you'll hit what you need to, hopefully...

Seem to have a bit of a flinch. I fight the same thing from time to time when I switch to smaller guns in larger calibers.

Here's a trick to break the flinching habit. Get some snapcaps, and have someone else load them at random in your magazines. When you hit one, you'll see the flinch. Furthermore, you can use them as a chance to practice a quick malfunction clearance.

Im working on it,this glock has been allot better for me than previous 40s

and I see slowly my flinch and group(if u wanna call it that) getting tighter

With my 9MM its a whole bunch tighter because the recoil does not make me flinch,need to get past that though

for the larger round...appreciate the feedback

[Photoguy67]

One thing that helped me get over the flinch is to make sure you always see the muzzle flash when the round goes off. Harder than it sounds but GREATLY improves your grouping.

When dry firing does the gun dip? What does your grip look like? I am a big fan of the iscosles stance and thumbs forward grip.

I'm no bullseye shooter by any stretch but at 7 yards or less you should have a group covered by a half dollar

Im working in it,dry firing is not an issue,nor is a smaller caliber - I just flinch with that 40......PRACTICE is all I can do

[gsbell]

Let me add those should be half-dollar groups if this is slow fire practice, otherwise yes they are going to open up a fair amount
