I teach beginner handgun classes and run into the "my gun shoots low left" often. Sometimes even with my loaner gun, the student insists the problem is with the handgun, and wants to start messing with the sight. With my gun, I am sure it is not a gun problem, and sometimes have to take the gun and shoot a group to get the student to start listening.

Most of the time the student is yanking the trigger and jerking the gun low left. Training is the answer.

I am left eye dominant and shoot handguns both right hand and left hand. It is very easy with a handgun to simply move the handgun and use the dominant eye, shooting with either hand. Long guns are not so simple.

Spending some money with a good instructor will most quickly get you using the right techniques and save you a lot of money on wasted ammunition using poor techniques.
