Proper hold on Hi Power?

[Gil Boyd]

Meant to also say, when you fire it in what you find to be your preferred natural stance, let the barrel return naturally back down to your original aiming point and squeeze off again, don't try to achieve a fresh eye picture each time through the sight blades, the pistol was designed to accurately put down fire in combat situations quickly.
You may also find both eyes open works for you too........good luck, waiting to see the Pearl and Dean movie showing you on the range, from that might be able to help even further on whats going wrong for you

I'll try your suggested grip BAR, regardless will try new grips, never did care for the thumb rest. I'll post pictures tonight of the damage I've done to the slide notch over the years. I've dressed it up but viewers will get the idea.

Thanks for pointers Gil. My main issue is I forget I need to keep my fat thumb away from the slide release, I get reminded within the first mag as the damage will show.
I took this, this morning when I thought you were questioning my manhood, "I know you weren't"... I think I can shoot, target was at 20yds offhand. Ammo was some of my roll your own 115g LRN.

Those are good, I see you only dropped one. The top holes are coming from the other side so another practice...Once you try the other grips, you'll likely be logging. If you can remember, take the slide stop with you and compare it to an older style if they have one at the shop. You'll see the detent notch is different. Once I changed mine, the slide locking in mid mag ended.

[WarPig1976]

Yup, that's my sons shooting from the other side, he sucks.. Dad won. Depending on the range you shoot at our club you have to flip your board so the C clamps will grab "hanging from the baffle or sideways from a 2/4. My target is actually sideways.

[Gil Boyd]

Well that would get the job done at 20 yards.
You'll see that group tightening up like Starsky and Hutch before long once you find your natural groove.
Starsky and who???? they were two American Detectives who dented bonnets and never missed when they shot their howitzers

Starsky and Hutch

I remember them...

[WarPig1976]

I Remember siting in front of the tv in my underoos watching'em with dad..

Here's the picture, ouch!
I run a buffer now because I like to run on the hot side of the data and an unintended byproduct of that is the slide doesn't travel that far anymore. Doesn't matter anyway because the stop battered all "extra" metal out of the way.

That's not that unusual. Mine has a bit of that. I've seen it enough on others as well, but I agree it doesn't look swell. Yours is in 9mm is it?

[WarPig1976]

9mm, yes.
I'm surprised to hear it's somewhat common. Not many around to compare to.

Here's the differences in the old slide stop and the new one. Also, my slide damage. And I know for sure this slide stop was causing my slide to lock open in mid mag. Once I changed, the problem ended. Now, I don't know if your 9mm has the new or old type. Stainless is new and blue is old type.
