Re: First time firing handguns! vid inside
Welcome to a new sickness!!
Umm... stance? Looks like you are leaning back a bit which is normal for first timers. I like the first stance listed on the website below with your legs in a fighting stance, correct grip on the pistol, and leaning slightly forward. I have the tendancy to not keep my feet pointed straight tho.
Shooting low and to the left usually means you are anticipating recoil and pushing down on the gun right before firing. Easiest way to see this happen is to load a snap cap (fake bullet) into the mag (along with real bullets) and shoot until you hit it. When you try to fire the snap cap nothing happens and you can see what you are doing to the gun before firing. You will see most new shooters jerking the trigger (moving the gun left) and pushing anticipating the recoil (down).
