EMP 4

[Bo]

Took my SA EMP4 to the range. It's consistently shooting left, usually that's jerking the trigger. I have a SA Range Officer 9mm that I shoot and it's right on target.
Right before I left the range, I shot a magazine full, one handed. Right on target.
So what does this mean, shooting on target one-handed and shooting left two-handed?

You are probably tightening your support hand as the trigger breaks, in anticipation of the recoil.

I had to the same issue a few years ago while shooting my 460 magnum. I was anticipating recoil and tightening my support hand. It took a bit of conscious effort to stop it.

It was one random day too, but fatigue had set in.

It is still trigger control, but when you are shooting one-handed, you're using good fundamentals as you don't believe you are as good shooting one-hands as you are using both hands...you're focusing more on correctly pressing the trigger.

Another possible cause would be if you are using a less optimal grip when shooting two-handed and applying a push-pull technique

Thanks for the responses. I guess I just need to practice more. I've been neglecting my shooting due to surgery and then an infection on my foot. After 6 months, it's finally to the point where I can stand on it for a couple of hours and do some shooting.
It's been a slooooow process.
