Re: Range report
I'm no expert, but I"ve always been told not to dry fire without snap caps.

Re: Range report
Thanks for the advice. I've got some snap caps and have been working on controlling breathing/trigger pull/proper grip.AndyC wrote:No - 15 feet is only 5 yards. You should be putting all your rounds through a single hole at that distance if you were consistent - and since I doubt that the front sight is actually moving, it's either you or something else on the gun which is inconsistent.
Overall, your group-size is still pretty tight, so I'm going to guess that, while you're not as consistent as you could be, your trigger has some over-travel after the sear breaks and you're not used to it yet. I'm going to make a dangerous guess here and say that you're right-handed and that extra over-travel is causing you to ever-so-slightly push the muzzle left as the sear trips.
I am right handed, left eye dominant.

Range report
Another 50 error free rounds from my Taurus PT145 today. Shot at "defensive" ranges only, 20 rounds at 10 feet and 30 rounds at 15 feet. After 49 in the black bullseye, my stance got sloppy and I put round #50 on the white. :x
I'm left eye dominant, carrying on the right side. (Safety is impossible to operate when shooting with my left hand.) Any suggestions on why I'm still shooting to the left?
This makes 400 error free rounds in total from my pistol.
