Glock 44 (22LR). Either it is too light or I am too old, or both.

German K98, have several and theyre have just such crappy sights, give me a Swed 96, or a K31 any day

I am not a great shot. Need a gun that helps me shoot better. Several things throw me off.
1. Crappy sights. Love target sights. Every low profile sight has given me issues.
2. Crappy triggers. I have converted almost all pistols to SAO. Like 2 - 3 pound. Especially two stage.
3. Short barrels. Have never shot a gun with a 4” or lower barrel well. Do not shoot Commander size as well as Government. Read others who are proficient with both. Usually only shoot guns over 4 1/2”.
I have a low round count High Standard Sport King. Think 7 1/4” barrel, good trigger. Decent sights. It is super difficult for me to shoot well. Have an almost identical Browning Challenger. It almost has autocorrect. Both shoot about the same from a rest. Sub 1” at 50 yards.
I have dialed adjustable trigger on Browning to 2#. HS is 2.75#. But HS has fliers, Browning almost none. But if really concentrate on grip, hand pressure, finger placement, breathing, and trigger pull the High Standard shoots really well. Can see why there are so many High Standards at Camp Perry. Most of my target 22’s shoot as well with much less effort.
With one of the popular small striker or DAO guns I am hard on bullets and easy on targets.

P290RS (my first gun and first SIG) and P938.

I had the money set aside for the X-Macro. Decided to shoot a buddies. I couldn't hit with it. I shot the regular P365 WAY better... got some 17rd mags to carry with the little guy as spares and saved the cash.

For me, it was the Glock 19X. I shoot the 19 well and want to love its slightly bigger brother, but I can’t.

ahh, hopefully been able to check out any SIG Classics, hopefully you get your hands on a P226/P229/P220 someday, or bonus for a SP2022, I really like the out of box DA/SA trigger.

I have the P290RS and holy cow yea that trigger is long and bad.

My worst accuracy was with a friends S&W "SIGMA" SVE9 or something, that guns trigger was the worst of anything I've ever fired.

double down on long DA only triggers as being bad.

Sig P245. I'm so inconsistent and inaccurate that I thought surely something must be wrong with the gun.

Turns out that it's an absolute tack driver when my brother shoots it. There's just something about it that I can't handle. It feels ok in my hands, but that apparently doesn't translate to shooting well for me.

Any stock Glock.
I really need to work hard to get good groups. To be fair, I’ve never put the time into working with Glocks as I’ve preferred other brands with better out of the box triggers and more ergonomic grips that better fit my hands.

Sig 245, Glock G45, have other Glocks and they are good to go, but that G45 couldn't get it on target ever.

Virtually all DA/SA guns. Especially HK DA/SA. The only exception is my Langdonized Beretta. I am a massive flinchies sufferer and I have to work way harder on a DA/SA gun for relatively poor performance.

I've finally found a pistol that I can't hit a 12x12 inch target at 30 feet with. Well I did manage one hit, on the bottom of the paper. The pistol is an Astra 300 my father brought back from WWII. At an indoor range using readers to try and see the sights I just cannot see the sights at all. So, it's had it's function check so I'll clean the barrel and put it back into the depths of the safe.

I hate to admit this - my P220.

Glock 17, any generation. Weird, because I shoot and like my Gen 5 Glock 34 just fine. I have no idea why. And the Sig 320. Standard frame, nope. Tried the X series, nope again.

Glock

I do not HATE Glucks. They are reasonably accurate and quite reliably

I just do not like them. I do not like the feel of the grip and I do not like not having a hammer

I will carry one when forced to but I will Never Own One

I can shoot most any handgun, but prefer smaller 9mms. The one that has been a bugger to me is the P365. I've had-as of today I think-7 in both the XL and standard size. Oh, yeah, had a SAS for about a day-hated everything about it.

I sold the last 365-my number 6-a few months ago and stuck with Glocks and Shadow Systems, but it's bugged me to no end that I read so many posts in various places about the wonderful P365.

So, I got another and, while I was at it, picked up a FN Reflex, which shot wonderfully for me the first time we saw the range together.

I have decided to work and work and work on the P365-not because I gotta carry one, but because I am frustrated that I'm not good with it. It's not shooting it slowly that is a problem, but drawing from the holster and hitting the center fairly quickly ain't so great with me. I "think" it's the grip on the standard sized one, coupled with my old timer's arthritis, but I wanna try one last time.

The P320. I’ve tried several configurations and they just don’t work for me. I shoot the P365 and the classic series just fine. I would probably struggle to hit the broadside of a barn from the inside with a 320 though.

For me it was a Glock 21…could not hit the broad side of a barn. Got a G30–not a problem. Already had a G19 and a bunch of SIGs…couldn’t explain why the G21 didn’t work for me

J frames.

I love them. Have several. Carried one as a backup for years and will still drop one in a pocket holster when I just need to run to the store or something quick and don’t feel like strapping something bigger on. My effective range with one is about 15 yards. I can keep all hits on a torso sized target past that, but I don’t seem to be in control of just where they land in that torso…

Combination of tiny sights, heavy trigger, and old eyes I think.

I’m also not a terribly good wing shooter with a shotgun. I want to aim instead of point and it slows me down. Totally my own failing, but since I don’t hunt birds or shoot skeet I’ve never really trained myself out of it.
