    Range visit

    Took the little bugger to the range today with 200 rounds of mostly American Eagle and some Gold dots. I hadn't shot it in a while so I was really looking forward to this visit. At 21 feet, I had an acceptable group (about the size of a dinner plate) but, as always with my particular gun, the group was low and left of aim. Towards the end of the session I did have a FTE, but the gun was pretty dirty by then and I might have lightened my grip somewhat. P-32's are great little guns!

    Hmmm... Hitting low-left? According to the graphic at the bottom of this page, you could be:
    1. Tightening fingers
    2. Jerking

    Or... Maybe just aim high-right.

    Probably grip tightening. Do most of the gripping with your left hand

    Cool! I never saw that page before. I'd bet I was tightening my fingers. Next time I'll work on my grip for sure. Thanks!

    Re:Range visit

    I was shooting about 3.5" low at 10 yards. I installed the do-it-yourself trigger stop using a pencil eraser, superglue and blackened with a sharpie marker. Brought up my groups. Until reading about this mod in the forums, I thought my shooting tecnique was to blame.

    your group is great!

    If you are staying in the dinner plate with your group at 21 feet, that is great. The P32 is not intended to be a bullseye competition target gun, but for personal defense at 21 feet and less.
    Just keep practicing with the technique you have.
    And for your FTE on that last round with the pistol getting dirty, that's to be expected after 200 rounds. Most of us get some FTE's after only 50 rounds due to the chamber getting a bit sooty and sticky.
    You might try wrapping some 600 grit black emery paper around a pencil and just rub it in and out of the chamber lightly. This will smooth it up a bit and probably eliminate FTE's altogther.
    Again, in the dinner plate at 21 feet is great!
