I'd suggest having another hooter give it a go, but it's not uncommon for a right handed shooter to pull shots low left.
I am all for this! But I am not sure you meant that?
If you did mean that, I am not sure how that would help his shooting.

One day it's par and the next it is not so much.
Absolutely. When firing big revolvers I usually press with the second pad (or wherever my finger lands most comfortably).I agree that trigger finger placement can have an effect, but any part of the finger can be used if the trigger can be pressed without moving the sights out of alignment.
Nothing wrong with that..I tend to shoot it now like a longbow or shotgun..."ignoring" the sights and focusing on where I want to hit the target...
Do I get those tight little groups that the target shooters like this way?...Nope...but I do tend to hit where I want to , close enough for "combat' style shooting anyways...
Everything is relative. Everything and everyone has to start somewhere.
"Proper" finger placement is actually a little more than "nothing more than relative to the shooter".
"Complicate things"? You ok? Step back and read your posts, and my post. I made an educated attempt at un-complicating things.
We don't have to agree. But try not to pick at my posts and I'll probably not have anything to say about yours.
Edit: I guess I hope I didn't misinterpret the tone. It's been a rather eventful day so far and I know better than to comment here juiced up.
Yup. I may have acted like a Richard head.I never meant to pick your post, and sincerely apologize if it came across that way.
There's a part in every class we offer which I call "Anatomically Speaking" This about the body parts everyone has...head, arms, torso, legs etc., and in some cases...lack thereof. How each of those are and can be used simply bears on some factors...age, condition, injury, size, birth defect, even medication can sometimes affect how we are able to use our parts.
We work with shooters on how to overcome any hindrance in reference to the above.
Example, on a 1911 some have large enough hands where they can operate a standard sized slide stop without having to reposition the hand. Obviously some can't, this is where the factors of hand size, and injury may come into affect.
When I made my post about finger placement, my head was going back to the years of helping shooters overcome such things, not explicitly picking your post.
I don't pick at people directly, unless their content is inherently dangerous, or have trained with them, and find their teachings are binding up the students progress.
Nice gun and my guess is the trigger job should produce a clean smooth trigger pull with a nice crisp break about 3.5 to 4lbs.It is a Sig Tacops, and I have had a professional trigger job done on it.
50 feet is about 17yds, honestly I think this is too far to start out with a new gun I usually go with 7 yds then move out to 10 for most breaking in and warming up.Yep, I have been dry firing and the sights don't move at all. I dry fire so much in the garage that I convince myself that there is no way I would be off target at the range, but then I go shoot. From 50 feet I am low about 4 inches and left about 6. It is so frustrating!
I think the Sig Tacops come with Novak style sights. Most likely the sights are good on this pistol but dont totally rule out a too tall front sight until you know its not you. So heres the thing about some Novak style sights... most of them even from "high end" manufacturers are fake, clones... not authentic Novak sights and Sig Sauer is one of them.Great suggestions. My thinking is that even if the sights are off, there is no adjustment for elevation.
