I have a Ruger P89 that I put some Hogue grips on. I am now consistantly shooting a little high and waaaay to the left. i would say ~ 6 inches left at ~10-12 yards.
I've tried a whole slew of grips, single and double handed. None has any real effect. I've tried gripping very hard, not so hard, even limp-wristing hardcore. I've tried chaning the points of contact of my left (non-dominant) hand, and squeezing more sideways and front/back.
It did this tonight will all different brands of ammo, so its not an ammo problem.
I don't recall it doing this quite as bad before I put the Hogue grips on, but I don't remember how many times I've taken her out since then. Regardless, I don't see how the grips would make me shoot so far to the left so consistently.
Any suggestions on how to grip the pistol in general, or more specifically to the P89?
One other thing, the rear sight is adjustable for windage (or so that manual says, but it looks like I literally need to take a mallet to the sight to get it to move). Plus, I'd have to push the sight waaay over to the right and then part of it would be hanging off of the side of the frame. Not ideal. That said, anyone ever adjusted the windage on a P89?
