What's the most efficient way to spend your time/ammo at the pistol range?
Half my shots go low left, half my shots are dead on. I'm mostly doing this with my 1911, 45 stronk. It doesn't seem to happen with revolvers or .22 semis. I know I'm flinching/squeezing the gun right as the shot goes off, but I don't really know how to stop. It's got tons of checkering and decent grips, I know it's not actually slipping, but it still feels like it's going to jump out of my hand.
So, instead of just standing there and blasting away, hoping that the problem will fix itself, are there any exercises/strategies I can use to fix this?
dry fire your shit
shoot a bunch
make sure your grip and trigger control are on point, other than that it is a mental thing that will keep your flinch minimized
Hijacking thread. It's now a pistol general.
Here's how I'm shooting /k/. What the hell is breaking wrist up? I'm also curious how you correct the "too little trigger", what does that mean? I do have a tendency to not follow through on my shots, that's something I know how to fix so no questions there.

hold the gun tighter, grip if as hard as you can, its called the crush grip.
also let your finger rest wherever it is comfortable on the trigger, some faggots say to use the pad of your finger, that is hogwash and only correct if you have babby hands and that is where it naturally goes.

Look at your trigger finger, focus on the last joint, divide that space into 1/3rds, us the third portion just forward the last joint. Thats perfect, the "sweet spot".
Too little trigger, your just using the tip. Too much, your too far back on your finger.

Alright, I'll try that next time I go to the range. What is "breaking wrist up" though?

Ah, thank you anon. Lucky me I did get some snap caps a couple weeks ago. Shouldn't be too hard to train myself out of it.

Not the most fluid presentation, but this 50rd training session is good. You can expand on the concept (I do it with 350 rounds and more complexity):

Looks up the "ball and dummy" drill.
