Problems shooting one caliber? - The Firearms Forum

I am curious is anyone else has experienced this strange behavior.

For some reason I cannot seem to shoot 9mm with any form of consistent shot placement. I have owned a Ruger KP95d, rented Glocks, Sigs, and Berettas. So it doesn't appear to be the pistol. Just something in me that causes me to lose all basic shooting skills with this round.

With a .22, .38, .357, and .45 I am fine.

Am I alone here or is this more common. Is there are caliber that causes this kind of behavior with you?

It's all in your head, cec

Probably has something to do with all the OTHERS you listed are good old AMERICAN "inch" rounds, you probably just subconsciously despise these puny pipsqueak "furren" metric ones, especially in a "minor" caliber that got sold to us who should know better by PT Barnum types as a viable "hot, new" combat round.........
