Shooter
I could be way off, but that bottom one looks as though you are anticipating the recoil. Have someone else load a mag and put a snap cap or two in at random, then shoot as you normally would. When you get to the snap cap you should almost instantly know what you are doing wrong. I had the same issue with my XD.45 when I first got it and my trainer did the snap cap thing. When I got to the dud I was like "ahh ha! now I see..", immediately returned to dry fire drills and corrected the problem..Aco
Thanks for the advice Mike. I'll try anything at this point. With the 9 and 40, I can pretty much place the shot were I want it up too 40-45yrds. I'm trying to build them all to be exactly the same so nothing feels foreign when going from one to the next. The 9mm came with the X2 setup and that went to the classifieds after it's first outing. So virtually they are the same, but I just can't get a handle on the 45. According to my notes, All these targets were set up at 25yrds at three different ranges.
Winchester Ranger -T 147gr 9mm (outdoor range)
I belive this was Federal 180gr FMJ FN .40 (indoor range)
Winchester Ranger-T 230gr .45 (backyard range)
. I cant say I carry one daily because depending on what I have planned for the day depends on the lady. But if you have it you wont be let down if you need it. My two main carries when it comes to the XDs are a 9sc and a 45cmpt. I prefer the 45 because of how well I can shoot that one though it is a little on the heavy side. The biggest plus IMO of the 45 is that it will literally feed and fire everything. I have shot just about every factory loading and so many different handloads I lost track and have yet to have any feed or function issues. Even thought I like the look and feel, concealability, and over all appeal of my Sigs, Glocks, and 1911s, my XD is the only one that will shoot ANY load I put in it's mag.
