change of poi as gun warms up?

[douglas_knott]

i personally haven't heard of a gun doing what your explaining. are you free handing the shots or using a bag? try using a bag starting out and see how it shoots.

[Dave Waits]

Sounds like you're pulling down on the trigger. Try shooting from a rest cold.

I agree with and Dave..shoot from a rest and then you can determine if it's you or the gun..only time I've heard of that is from a full auto weapon when the barrel was HOT..doubt thats your trouble

never mind the .22 holes, i just re-used somebody's card


first set of 10 rounds right handed @ 10 meters



second set of 10 rounds right handed @ 10 meters



10 rounds, 2 handed @ 25 meters (bad pic but you get the idea)




2 x 10 rounds @ 10 meters green is right handed, purple is lefthanded




I first ran 50 rounds with a Ruger .22 as warm up...Which improved my .45 results considerably, all in all, i guess this answers my question : It was me, not the gun.
Quite happy with this result, especially since i'm a bit hungover this morning

You might try a different lube on your pistol that may be more heat resistant and not cause binding. If the pistol is changing POI when hot something is binding. Hope this helps

I think your grip loosens a bit when you get a little tired from gripping too tight and anticipting the recoil, allowing the muzzle to flip more. Warming up with another gun gets you past the too-tight grip phase.

I've noticed the same phenomenon, using a 22 first improves my groups considerably.
