At the range yesterday.

Went to the range yesterday to put some rounds through my Browning Hi-Power, still can't get over how it shoots, and this guy next to me asked if he could put a couple rounds through it. I didn't have a problem with it so I handed it over to him and he emptied the clip. He then hands me his Smith and Wesson .45, don't know what kind it was looked like the tactical, and told me I could run a clip through it. First time I have ever shot a S&W and I don't think I ever want to touch one again. I don't know if it had a defective trigger or what but the pull on it was so disgustingly weird that I was surprised when it actually fired. Turns out this guy bought it from a police officer. I could hardly even figure out how the thing worked.

Sorry if there are some of you out there who like them, I mean no disrespect. By the way, what does it mean when you are shooting down and to the left slightly? Am I anticipating recoil or am I just curving my finger around the trigger and pulling it to the left?

Odds are you are doing something flaky with how you are pulling the trigger. Major-league flinching throws holes all over the place, but anticipating the recoil by squeezing too abruptly will tend to produce a repeatable error like low & the left. This is VERY prevalent in lighter guns like Glocks.

Your sights COULD also be off, but that's unlikely. How good is the trigger on your BHP? If the trigger pull is heavy or uneven then it might be worth getting a trigger job... they don't cost so much and stock BHP triggers generally have lots of room for improvement.
 
I think the Browning has about a six pound pull from the feel of it but it does break very cleanly. I was grouping really well with it. I wasn't throwning wild shots or anything but the groups were all low and left.
