I had thought it may be me. I plan on taking a bench rest with me next time and see if that and more time getting comfortable with it helps. I imagine it will. I basically went straight from the store to the range with a quick cleaning before I shot it. I also have a Taurus Millenium pro in 40. I'solid with it but it shoots very different. Lonngggg trigger pull and slow reset. Hence the shield. Thanks for the info. More range time...
