GB helped me out with a possible shooter vs gun problem. I took his advise and it turned out well. It was 80% shooter.
GB I put on Agrip(grip cover) like I did for the Kahr P40 which helped. I also went with the bigger backstrap to help stabilize my grip. I did move the front sight over approx. .5 mm and did A LOT of dry fire work to get used to the trigger. While not one ragged hole, the groups looks like I am heading in the right direction. I agree that some trig work would be the icing on the cake but I don't have the eggs for doing it on a carry gun. I only have approx. 500 rnds through it so another 500-600 might help the trig and my control of it as well. Some younger eyes too?
GB is quite a resource to have here.
Thanks again

Remember that a carry gun isn't a target gun.
Being able to reliably put rounds in center mass under intense stress is the goal.
Not calm, carefully aimed, slow fire bulls-eye punching at the range.

agreed but in my training, we do cranio-ocular cavity shot placement drills and I need a weapon that POA = POI. Besides that, I feel a full size gun with a 5 inch sight radius should be more accurate than my compact Kahr P40. The Kahr kicks its ***.

Some situations demand a CNS instant stop.
And you certainly should be more accurate with a 5" service weapon than a 3.5" compact.
Glad you're seeing improvement.

My 5" full size is a HK USP45 Tactical.
My Kahr MK40 Elite is accurate.
But in my hands, at 15 yards, it's no contest.
Not really apples to apples comparison grant you.
My Sig P239 357 is a scary accurate compact.

Fo rme?.... My full-sized are the KImber TLE II with custom Bawanna grips which is my "can do" gun. Love it but wanted something w/o a thumb safety like the Kahr. I am worried that under stress I will forget to thumb it. However, I consider it my "dress" gun. When I go out to higher end social events, it is my accessory of choice since the grip job.
The other is my new S&W MP 9. This one has taken some time to "get to know" so to speak. Flawless out the box but the trig is very unforgiving.

About one year ago I had a nice fat bank account.
Now I have an arsenal of firearms and am running on empty - LOL!
I may have a problem...

All should agree that GB is a big help and highly respected. He doesn't charge more than you can afford and seems to get enjoyment out of it. The only thing I know he doesn't like is when somebody who disagrees with him gets ugly about it.
Ain't that right you old @$^#$%^%???!!!! :)
