So awhile ago I bought a Kel-tec p11 from a member on here and every time I shot it I would hit about 3 inches low at 5-7 yards. I would hit there consistently, but I would never hit POA POI. I traded the gun because it drove me crazy that I couldn't hit what I was aiming at and I got a DB9. Took it to the range a while ago and low and behold... I hit about 3 inches low with it too! When I had the P11 I was convinced it was the sights, but now that I am shooting another gun, similar in size, with the same problem I am thinking it is possible it is me.
Now I am not a bad shooter, I can shoot everything from .22 to 44mag in pistols and hit what I am aiming at. I can shoot single action 1911s and long double action revolvers accurately. I am wondering if there is just something special about sub-compact pistols that I don't know.
I haven't carried the DB9 for a while because I can carry my Glock 22 in a Raven vanguard just as easy, but I would like to have the option to, and know I could hit exactly where I am aiming if I had to.
Any tips?
Edit: I had other shoot both of these guns and they shot low for them too. I still think it is the gun, not the shooter, but I am interested in what you guys have to say. Are pocket guns supposed to shoot low? (doesn't make sense to me)
