XDS shooting low? ...or am I deprived of shooting skill?
After a few times to the range with my Springfield XDS in .45acp I've notice it always shoots a few inches lower then where I intended it to be. The groupings are pretty solid but my rounds keep diving. Is it the big old fat .45 bullet that causes it to drop off more or just me sucking at shooting? This is all done between 20-30 feet.
I rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

Nope, it's you, time to sell it to me, CHEAP!
Just hang in there, use the chart, actually use it as a target. I tried that once to work out a problem.

Use the chart as Mike3888 and PA Sniper recommended. Also, make sure the weapon is unloaded, and practice dry firing at a spot on a wall paying close attention to the sight picture and its relation to the aiming point. Watch for the sights shifting position from the aiming point when the trigger is pulled and hammer/striker drops. Then change your hold / grip / stance etc. and keep practicing dry firing at the same aiming point until the sight picture doesn't shift from the aiming point when the trigger is pulled.

Shot mine for the 1st time on Friday....
I was all over the place... So, I know it's just me getting used to it... I was shooting at 25 yds... I wouldn't even call what i produced "grouping" LOL
