Had an awful day at the range last week. My targets looked like shotgun blasts, and mostly low-left. Went home frustrated and went to work on fundamentals. Lots of dry fire and focus exercises.
Went back today hoping for some improvements. Happy to say I was able to refocus myself and got some better results.
This is 24 shots, slow fire at 10 yards. Now to keep working on it. I got lazy and complacent and paid the price.

2Nice Grouping! it's amazing want a little practice, concentration, and persistence can do, isn't it?
Nice Pistol, might I ask who makes that particular 1911?

3It's a Springfield Armory Loaded Target in .45ACP
I replaced the front sight with a Dawson fiber optic
Added a Wilson Combat magwell
Swapped out the hammer/sear/disconnector for parts made by Harrison
Installed a Cylinder and Slide lightweight sear apring
Trigger breaks cleanly at 3-1/4 pounds.
Replaced ambi thumb safety with Harrison Extreme Service TS (the shape is different and the thumb rest lower, easier on my old hands)
VZ grips (G10) in dark rosewood color (crappy photo makes them look black)
Gun has north of 6,000 rounds through it since February with not a single issue.

Re: Fixed the Low Lefts...For Now
4You've reminded me that I haven't done enough dry firing this week.
We'll have to see what my next range trip looks like.
