Anyone here find that they naturally are more accurate wth certain handguns? Its as if the gun just "fits" you for some strange reason.
I recently went out to the range and decided to give a pair of Springfield Arms M1911's a try.
Both guns were rentals, one with adjustable sights and the other with night sights (chambered in 9mm and 45 ACP respectively)
While not terribly far away, at 15ft I was burning a ragged hole through the center of the target with minimal effort. After 50 rounds through both hand guns I decided to try shooting my own handgun.
I tried replicating that with my CZ75 compact, and I struggled a great deal (fired from SA mode)
Initially I thought this was because it was a double stack handgun, however I'm vastly more accurate with my cousins Glock 19 which is a double stack also.
The only thing I can think of that may cause this is thst I'm constantly am fighting to line up my irons on my CZ as opposed to the other handguns I've fired, sight picture and alignment occurred more naturally for me for some reason.
This is how it was on a Sig P226 as well, where I was naturally more accurate with it than my CZ75 which I have more many many more hours into trying to learn how to shoot well with, and failing miserably mind you.
I'm seriously considering making a switch for my carry handgun. While the capacity loss will be significant, I figured if I can accurately hit my target, it's better to lose those extra 7-8 rounds and miss more often than having only 7-8 rounds and landing all of them.
