After 2 months since last shooting the P-10S, and after two weeks with the hammer guns, I got back to shooting the fine little 3.5" barrel P-10S at 100 yards. I was concerned about having a good result after 2 weeks with the hammer guns, since the triggers are so different. But I guess spending most of my range time last year with the strikers made the transition a little easier.
Here is a five minute video of target one, no shots cut in the edit, just some dead time between shots. Let's just say the first two shots were "better than expected"...also described as "lucky".

I was not happy. It wasn't until I got home and analyzed the target that I saw that what I had was two bad shots in the first ten but 8 really good ones, followed by two bad shots in the second 10 and one just a little left of the 7 good ones. There were two distinct groups, one to the left and one to the right. That was interesting.
The only explanation I have for the two groups spread horizontally is eyesight. I just changed my hold point slightly between 10 round magazines and didn't notice it. In other words, shooter not paying attention to the fine details.
Explaining the bad shots is easy--bad trigger pull execution by the shooter, either pulling the gun down just slightly or letting the shot off when the dot was off high. Those are a result of transitioning to the striker gun. But I'll take 16 good shots out of 20 and two 5" groups any day, Especially if the first two shots are x-ring!
This is fun. This is not easy.
