Turning my wrist

[kd5det]

I have a tendency to turn my wrist slightly counter-clockwise (widdershins). Especially when I am getting tired. Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

It's called "canting", and a lot of shooters do it to some degree. In theory you can get grips made that allow your hand to cant while keeping the pistol vertical. A small amount of cant isn't a big deal, but it does mean that when you adjust your sights. elevation changes will have a small effect on windage & vice versa.

The most important thing is consistency. If the amount of cant varies from shot to shot, or target to target, it will introduce small sighting variations.

My wife has issues with canting in sustained fire. She starts out vertical, and after 3 or four shots, she's tilted to the left enough to notice it and straighten the pistol up. Watching her do that drives me nuts, but it doesn't seem to hurt her scores very much.

Some guns adjust for it with screws, and some guns have the ability to put in card stock or tape the alleviate the cant to some degree. Some guns even have sights that can rotate. Perhaps you can find a way to offset your grip to frame fit.

My FWB P44 adjusts this out by rolling the sights about the bore axis...
