Anticipating recoil only with one gun (Compact 45). No problem with my 5" 45 or either of my .357's but this one has me jerking the muzzle. It's not a problem with the gun, my lady Luscious can shoot fist-sized groups all day long. She has graciously offered to take it off my hands "if I can't shoot it". How embarrassing izzat??!!!
Can't seem to shake them. Who has a cure???
I went through that with my first 3913LS, it seemed to kick worse than it actually does, a couple things it has a small grip like your compact 45, and lots of muzzle flip, like your 45. I recently acquired another 3913 and it is a little funky compared to your single action 45, so now I don't feel so bad. I had some fairly hot 44 mag handloads in an old Ruger Flat Top 44, no problem, so any of us can develop a flinch, just try the empty chamber trick on your revolver, in the meantime put that thing away till you get your Mo-Jo back.
It is basically just anticipating the noise and muzzle jump, which is prolly at least half again that of the full size .45. I can shoot a Detonic 45, but I just wasn't impressed. So, shoot when your not tired, start sessions small caliber and work on sight picture and follow through as you work your way up. When you fire a keeper, quit, don't keep hammering away.
I learned that with traditional archery equipment shooting instinctively, its all about form, once you get tired, or you start to hurt, your gonna miss, and thats not the message you want your "muscle memory" to get, and it will mess up your hand-eye coordination. So mind over matter, work on your form, accuracy and comfort will follow. Remember, it ain't gonna bite, its just barking like a friendly dog, and like the dog, confidence is everything. Billy Magg
