Default New sights on my Shield

I had some Tru Glow sights put on my M&P shield,9MM. Red in the front, green in the back. Awesome sights. But I seemed to be shooting to the 1-2 o'clock position on my targets at the range. ( I'm left handed ) I could figure it out. The more I looked at the sights the more I thought they were off. So today I went to the range to sight in the shield. I used a prop they had to set the pistol in to keep it steady and shoot 5 rounds at 5 yards. All bullseyes. Then 5 rounds at 10 yards , all bullseyes. So then I did it without the prop and again off to the 1-2 o'clock in the target. I guess the bottom line is I need to slow down, and Practice more. Its funny how we can convince ourselves that its not us it must be the gun thats off. LOL.

anticipating the round going off and your pushing the pistol .. don't understand what changed to cause you to start doing this ?? How far off are you 1-2 inches or 2-4 inches ??

Might you be concentrating on the back sights because of the color change ??

Load a snap cap randomly in your magazine. You will see how you are pulling your shots this way. Do this a number of times.

High group placement is a strong indicator of breaking your wrist upwards.
