Unless it is a tiny pocket gun, I always spend part of a range session with a newer gun firing groups from a sandbag or other stable rest.
I find this invaluable to confirm sight alignment, get a better feel for trigger pull separate from grip, discover accuracy potential and look for causes of flyers. And while I've never had a real problem with shooting a gun poorly, it is a way to confirm whether an accuracy problem is the gun or you.
I've gotten the impression from forums and at the range that most people do not do this often, if ever. While it is not the standard way one might use a Beretta 92, I really think it is both a good training and diagnostic tool that let's you know what gun and shooter are capable of when you take shaking arms and stance out of the equation.
It is also really fun. My brother and I used to shoot shotgun hulls at 50 yards with a Ruger .22 off sandbags, and I had a 9mm that I shot and 8" group to POA at 100 yards. It gave me a lot of confidence with both weapons.
