Beretta 9000S

[mapper1965]

I purchased a Beretta 9000S 9mm in November 2001. I really like the feel of the gun along with the safety features. I've shot about 2500 rounds through it. For some reason I've shot this gun low and to the left for 80% of my practice with it. Has anyone else had problems like this with the 9000S. I shot 10 rounds at 10, 15, 20 & 25 feet and the shots were progressively low and left the further out the target gets. I've shoot 8 guns regularly and this is the only gun I have accuracy problems with. I've had many other people shoot the gun and most have had similar problems with it. Last night I decided I was going to send it back to Beretta. I had a guy that is a weapons instructor shoot it last night and his first five shots were through the same hole. The first hole was just barely right of center target. All of his shots were very good. I don't know if I'm just destine to be a bad shot with this gun but any corrections in grip or trigger pull has made minimal difference. Any suggestions would be helpful.

WADR, take some lessons from your friend the instructor. Shooting low and left (I do it too, sometimes) is indicative of poor grip/trigger technique. The 9000S is a porky, short gripped little pistol. I suspect that though it 'feels good', it doesn't index well to your hand, and it shoot low/left as you are 'milking' the trigger.
