Well finally took out my brand new P99 in 9mm over the weekend. Put about 400 rounds of Winchester whitebox through it and had a great time. I was switching back and forth between the medium and large size grip. Though the medium one seems to feel the most comfortable it almost seems like I shoot a little better with the large one installed.
Now, the range I was at only has 25m, 50m and then 75m separations for targets so I had to start out at 25 and was doing pretty good with factory sights the first day. However, towards the end (and all of the next day) I was shooting way left. I thought it had to be me but eventually adjusted the sights. Only after getting them way over to the right, did I hit center again. I found an old thread on the board (entitled SIGHT QUESTIONS) which discussed the same problem with a few other members. Considering this is my first handgun I think operator error is certainly not out of the question (even though I was benchresting to adjust the sights)
Following the advice on the previously mentioned post I removed the front sight and took a look at the hole and it is indeed about .015 inches closer to the left. Do you think this is responsible for my shooting left?
Anybody have information/experience/tips on this?
My factory target has 1 round straight on center with 4 others within 2.4 inches of each other, roughly around that shot. Unfortunately, I messed with the sights before checking their position from the factory.
On that note, how accurate are your P99s? What groups are you getting around 25m?
Either way, I still love the feel, look, and reliability (only one failure with some bad ammo).
