"Father" had that discussion, and he was encouraged to give some thought to the gun. Though he shot it better (not great), it felt awkward compared to his XD. Hopefully he wiill find a way to shoot the XD9 prior to purchasing it.I would have hoped that father and son would both have learned something from the son's G19 experience! He shoots the Glock great, then goes for an XD...yeah, that's the ticket!
I still can't hit anything with any XD I've tried, no idea why.
I had shot an XD several years ago... did ok, but nothing great. In the last outing, I actually shot as well with my son's XD as I do my Ruger, though I have very little experience with it. Guess that's why they makes 'em different, eh?I still can't hit anything with any XD I've tried, no idea why.
We ran out of ammo before I thought to look at his grip and talk to him about sight picture, etc. I agree.. I think I could've improved his groups a little with work on his techniques. He admitted the grip I showed him helped with control when shooting with his coworker.Your son, I think, would have done just as well with his .45 if he had actually taken the time to practice from the ground up, using good techniques, concentrating on learning how to maintain a good sight picture, good trigger control...and having the patience to shoot like he had to make every shot count.
It just would have cost him more in .45 than, say, 9mm. But then, I suspect by the time he learned that with his co-worker he had probably already spent all the money required on .45 ammunition that would have been necessary for that.
Fathers, like kings, are not always wise they are sometimes just there.Point is .. Listen to your daddy.. He knows much more then you..daddies are wise..
