Usually anticipation/flinch/bad trigger control. Usually if you can fix the trigger issue, the other can be fixed with reps. I’d recommend focusing hard on dry fire. Consult the works from Ben Stoeger and similar shooters.
Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

Using the finger tip could well push the muzzle to the side.
The finger should be placed so that it is natural to pull/press the trigger straight back. For me, depending on gun, that means either the pad of the finger, or in some cases the first joint.
By finger tip I meant pad, but I'll do some experimenting.
Just in. Chinese Tokarev bring back. No import marks. 
I'm just a boring glock guy, but people seem to like this one. 
I’m just some random idiot that was given the keys to a Ford GT. This thing is light years better than my skill level can justify and I absolutely know it lol.
My primary belt mounted peashooter for the last few years. Before and after applying make up to the pig.

Rooooooney! A whole page of SBRs! 
Who’s comp?
A. UBERTI AND C. GARDONE VT ITALY Cattleman .357 mag Serial # B4xxx
I was a young man when I bought it and I believe it was an old man at that time.
I would like to know the year of mfg but have been unlucky in my internet searches

Still technically a handgun... 
Making progress on my MP5 (SP5)...
Current Mods:
- Safety Harbor Firearms KES aluminum collapsable tailpiece (It is SUPER NICE! Tight fit, no play, extremely sturdy, nice finish...Highly recommend.
)
- GearHead Works Tailhook Mod1c (compact) aluminum brace (also super nice quality and fit & finish)
- Dakota Tactical (D-Tac) MLOK handguard (excellent fit & finish, nice unit)
- MFI MP5 Extended Length pic rail for optic (a bit weird getting it squared-up on top, but once you use a set of levels it's a breeze)
- Rugged Obsidian 45 w/ Rugged 9mm Tri-Lug adapter (apparently they offer 2 different models and the 9mm model is made to fit the MP5 like a glove...Which is does).
- Optic... Haven't decided, but most likely a Holosun 510, like I have on my other "pistols". I really like the Holosuns, they're great red dots.
- Ammo... Federal LE HST 147gr Subsonic (for home defense), and Federal American Eagle 147gr Flat Point Subsonics for plinking/range.
*** Also bought a JMac Customs 1913 MP5 tailpiece incase I decide to run an AB8R (brace) & 1913 side-folder setup on it. Still debating on the SBR stamp or not. I kind of like the tailhook brace, and it's very sturdy and is really comfortable. Also, it gets treated like a handgun, and not an NFA item, so easier to tote around concealed in the vehicle without harassment.

Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier Tactical, with the Vertec style frame. Just got this fancy ported barrel.
- Staccato C2 [Carry/Bedside]
- Shadow2 [USPSA Carry Optics]
- 509 Tactical
- 19X [Hunting carry in Kenai]
duly noted ! Just shot it today, and man, it's buttery smooth with the 11.5 lb recoil spring and ported barrelThis is a work of art, man, in the future I will buy this baby
It came with the pistol when I bought it.
No markings that I have seen
I bought it at least 40 years ago.
It is showing it's age.
Needs some sewing done on the liner and would soak up some oil for sure
Not sure when a B4 is from
But you can contact Uberti for a serial number lookup, is one of the selections:
Contact Us | Uberti USA Replica Rifles and Revolvers
www.uberti-usa.com Nice looking rig!
How clear is the serial on the Uberti?
Is it possible that there is a letter instead of the number 4?
Is it possible that there is a letter instead of the number 4?
There is usually a 2 character date code besides the serial. The clarity of them does seem to be variable.
Guess I was hung up on using the serial #, but I'll bet this is it and dates it to 1964.
Not as old as I thought but am very glad to know
Thank you sir!
... or ... would XX8 be the same as XXVIII ?
... or is the 8 for month (August)?

I guessed it as month but just a guess.
I still might contact Uberti at the link above to see what they say

New video is up with my H&K MP5 & Rugged Obsidian 45 sighting in the irons @ 100 yards.
Adds character
I like old things that were taken care of better than new things
Wife does too only she wishes I'd have taken better care of myself
I'm kinda rifle/scope poor, so I just have this Sig M17 dressed up a bit...Pistols ain't really my thing, but in today's world, this will do me just fine. It shoots 2.5" 10 shot groups at 25 yards with my 124/147g XTP handloads.

I am located in HSV if you ever want to go shoot. your avatar is funny.
I normally post on the CZ site but here are some of my favs.

I normally post on the CZ site but here are some of my favs.
- The Cmore sighted one is an SP-01 that fully cajuned and put a threaded barrel on to shoot open major - still working on the comp - I sold an S2 to build it
- CZ97 before it was converted to SAO - still carry another stock 97
- Current Fav - my very first CZ - 75B isralie surplus poor condition - fully rebuilt cajuned/SAO fitted the A-01 slide that I bought used and plopped a new Holosun on it. Planning to shoot LO with it some this season.
- Ruger Black Grand Mamba build - TK kraken lower, MadMaccs 16" barrel vol bolt and trigger with rifle scope. I made a case for it with an old tennis bag
- Ruger MkII 10" that I found at a gun show on my birthday - MkIIs are "Tha Best"...
- Ruger Mk4 10" scoped
- Group pic in the back of the '78 Bronco on "Choot 'em all" range day

Finally got the new Holosun SCRS-MRS installed on the ADM QD low mount (for 509T - same footprint), and got it battle zero’d @ 100 this weekend. This MP5 is a little tack-driver at 100… Popping 5” gongs every time that I do my part.
Updated!

MKII = tha best! Very nice shooter there! I have a slabside that I bought pre covid but it didn't have the rings or the rail. There is an iron sight rimfire match this thursday and it seems to be just the ticket.
One is a sidearm and the other is a scattergun if I try hard enough.
Got quite a few more but new phone and havent been able to transfer the other ~20 ish pics of my other pistols.
Shown is my Sig 227 Elite with my first F1 pistol can before i started making my own boosters.
Then the VP9-LB with one of the first batch long slide kits that came through prior to the VP9LB Match version - god I was foolish to drop almost as much on that slide as I did the gun itself.
Then my S&W XVR .460 Smith i got in a trade for a W.Ger 220 that had seen better days.
Finally a Gen 4 G19 C i picked up as I was looking for a cheap pistol for a carry piece instead of the USP Expert or P2k that isnt as easy to replace.

That .460 Smith appears to be quite the beast... good polar bear medicine I reckon.

It’s ok to think differently than the group and go against the grain every now and then.

Where did you get those vertical pistol hangers? I need some for my walls!!
A very old picture, they don't even look like this any more. In fact the one went and lived with someone else for a few years before returning home.
Oh there they are up top. (trying to remember if they look like that anymore either)
Yeah I like long flat triggers.
Well... it's forward and flat.
