P944 accuracy

I have a genetic defect that forces me to shoot a couple inches left, so I was adjusting my P944 sight to give it a right-bias (I do this with all my pistols). When I shoot off a rest with an unconventional grip, the point of impact is a couple inches to the right, which I like, but then I got to looking at the group size. The best group I could get was 2.5" at 50 feet. Is that as good as it gets with a P944? 40S&W? I guess we'll never know without using a Ransom rest, but I was curious how accurate you guys can shoot a 40S&W off the bag. I'm shooting reloads (180gr plated w/ 6.5gr AA#5) so I'm wondering if I can improve the load, my technique, upgrade sights, etc. I got a new AR15 a few weeks ago, and after having shot that (shots go through the same hole), the P944 seemed erratic. I'm no better with my Super RedHawk either, but that has flinch-factor.

I'm not trying to fix my left-bias, i've come to terms with that, and with the sights compensated, under fast fire, they're centered on average. I'd like to tighten the groups up off the bench however, if possible.

Also, drifting the rear sight on a P94* is a huge pain with a hammer and a punch. It took me 30 minutes with a hammer, punch, soldering iron, liquid wrench, and I managed to move it .020". The cheapest sight adjustment tool is ~$150 -- can't 'ford it.

sounds like you need to sell me your P94...

yep only cure....
 
Sorry can't really help.... I do have an unfired KP944, and don't intend to get to stocking .40 cal ammo so it will remain that way for awhile.

Buckeye!.... if ya really want a P944?? I might be persuaded to sell mine, but I won't give it away. I think I want to limit my handgun calibers to .22, 9mm and 45.
 
Come on John, shoot it!

As for the accuracy, These guns are not target pistols. 2.5" seems good to me.
 
Roy,

I'm afraid I might like it too much and then go on a binge buying .40 ammo and more .40cals... and then my 9mm and 45s would feel neglected. :lol:
 
I haven't shot my P94 off a bench but standing, slow fire at 15 yards I have gotten 2 inch groups as my best.
The rear sight- I put my slide in a vise with cardboard on both sider to protect the finish. The set screw can be a pain to loosen. I have used the rapid and light hits with more success then the pounding hits.
Good luck.
