The reason a lighter bullet load will print lower point of aim is the higher velocity in relation to the recoil of the pistol. In other words, the pistol don't have as much time to raise the barrel during recoil before the bullet leaves the barrel. Heavier bullets produce more recoil and exit the barrel after it's raised in recoil a bit more.

RE: pistol shooting----low
thanx for the info guys...i'll keep that in mind for when i get a pistol that truely does shoot high or low...makes perfect sense...
glad i was able to cure myself in 1 range session...now i just gotta keep it all in mind and do my job behind the trigger. i think i picked up the bad habits from point shooting real close and fast where its much easier to make good hits...especially with a 9mm with light recoil you can control easily and shoot quickly and accurately...point shooting at 3-5yds at that range with a 9mm is easy and i can make hits easy so i learned to get lead into the target as quick as possible...which meant not worrying about trigger control it was just getting the rounds off as quick as possible...i think that was the problem was trigger control and probably some anticipation and also loosening the push pull...just gotta focus on every shot and make it count...
my bad hits were never TERRIBLE...never sent 1 off the silhouette target...but if it was a real bad guy hed have a heck of a belly ache lol....
