I bought an LCP recently for concealed carry and just finished firing about 100 rounds at a local range. Since I know this is likely (well actually, unlikely with luck) to be used defensively at very short range, I moved the target holder out to about 15 feet. My accuracy, and I refer to my accuracy, not the gun's accuracy, was terrible. The best groups I could manage were in the 8 inch range. Normally, I shoot at about 25 feet and get groups of about 3 inches with my 9mm pistol, and 2 inches or less with my Ruger MK III 22/45 target pistol.
I assume the basic causes for my innacuracy are the short distance between the sights combined with my poor (age 64) close vision without reading glasses on, and the long and heavy double action trigger pull. I normally shoot with 2 hands using my right hand to gently hold the gun, left hand to hold my right hand and the gun firmly in position, and right index finger, knuckle joint to finger tip only, to smoothly stroke the trigger. I'd sure appreciate some feedback on what I can do to tighten up my shot groups. Thanks!!!!!
