I need help.. what am I doing wrong? Pics attached.

[BerksCountyDave]

I went to the range yesterday and shot my Taurus 24/7 PRO .45 ACP and my Glock 19. I've attached pictures of some targets. The first one is the first magazine I fired with the 45. It looks pretty good.



This second picture is the next mag from the 45. Everything is low and to the left. Every shot for the most part the rest of the day with that gun was low and left. I thought something went wrong with the gun, but I had my father shoot it and he was right on target. I'm doing something wrong and I can't figure out how I went from on target to suddenly being low and left!



And just for comparison, after I was done being frustrated trying to figure out the .45, here's a target from the Glock 19.



Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate it. If it matters, these are all from 10 yards.

This may help. Without actually seeing you in action it's hard to say. It could be a few things.

You are saying "NOW" when you are on target. Your whole hand is tensing, pulling your alignment into the jerk zone. Try a handshake firm grip and concentrate on working just your trigger finger.

I'm inclined to go against the chart and say it's anticipating recoil.
In anticipation of recoil you have a tendency to grip harder and try to compensate for it.

That target helps big time. I'll print it out and shoot at it next time I head to the range.

If you're right handed and hitting low left, you're probably anticipating the recoil and jerking a bit. Practice dry firing and smoothly pulling the trigger little by little. Also work on focusing on the front sight. Don't shoot and immediately check the target. It's like keeping your head down when golfing.

I'll +1 this. The most common cause of low shots is anticipating recoil and pushing the gun down right before the shot is fired. Everyone I have ever taught to shoot has done this at one point. I still notice myself doing it every once in a while.
