P365 - hitting low? Anyone else have this? Login/Join

So I shot my off-duty gun, a Nov 2018 build P365. It's around 500 rounds down the tube, and not a single malfunction. However, today, I started to see I was hitting 3 inches or so low / left at about 10-ish yards. I adjusted my aim.sight alignment, and it was fine, but when my friend used it, he had the same issue.

I'm normally a Glock shooter, so I thought it might be just a grip angle thing. I also know that often the left shooting is from such a small grip.

Has anyone else had this issue, and how did they adapt?

Have you shot the gun before with different results?
Have you shot it before with this ammo?
Did you try shooting off of a rest (or prone)?
Did you try any other distances?

I know this isn't the most helpful reply, but we're a little short on information.

It's always been a little ow...but I just think I was paying more attention this time.

Have you shot it before with this ammo?
Yes. Same ammo (115gr Blaser Brass)

Did you try shooting off of a rest (or prone)?
No, but that's a valid point. I'll try next range session


Did you try any other distances?[/quote]
No, I was just trying to put rounds douwnrange on the gun to see it's still working. And to do some combat distance shooting.

I've always had this unease with the gun due to the early issues they had with it. However it seems that this was way overblown...but I carry this gun to keep me and my family safe when I'm out and about off-duty. Just the thought it could go down when I need it is not a good feeling... The problem is I keep waiting for the thing to fail...but it still keeps trudging along proving me wrong.

Right now, the issue is the low impact point.

My P365 shoots to point of aim with the factory "x-ray" sights. Doesn't seem to matter what ammunition is in there.

Shoot it from a rest, and have someone else shoot it for comparison. I'd guess that you're dipping it with some shot anticipation. If the pistol is different than your regular carry pistol, it may be a size issue or the trigger.

I have that issue with certain pistols, especially if shooting something I don't normally shoot. Most of the time I find it's me, not the pistol or the sights.

It's the shooter, not the gun.

Low-left is very common, for right-handed shooters who are flinching or jerking the trigger.

Most right-handed shooters will struggle with low-left hits from time to time, if they lose focus on the fundamentals.

Smaller guns with more felt recoil, like little subcompact pocket guns, tend to exacerbate this, compared to larger guns with less felt recoil.

Also use a combat sight picture if your not.

I experienced this, too. Lots of dry fire with it cured my problem. Initially, my ego caused me to “know” there must be a problem with the sights. As usual, I was wrong.
