The lightness of the LP@ Light, compared to my Izzy, helps my shoulder a lot. I wasn't naive enough to imagine that my scores would change drastically -- they haven't -- but I'm now able to shoot more without the pain I previously experienced.
One thing I didn't like initially about the LP@ Light was the angle of the barrel with respect to the grip with regard to the horizontal -- cant, I believe it's called. I found myself having to hold my arm up too high and downwardly angulate my wrist and the pistol to achieve proper aim. Apparently some grips have adjustable cant (Morini?), but I don't see that mine is. I searched some here on Target Talk, but didn't find mention how to change it, so I puzzled a bit, and figured a shim could be made to be placed in the grip that would change the cant. (I imagine you could achieve the same effect by chiseling the grip, but I didn't want to do anything that drastic.)
What I did was to fashion a thin shim out of oak, with about 4 to 5 degrees angulation, and placed it in the grip beneath the angled piece of metal that goes between the wooden grip and the pistol metal block. I'm very pleased with the results. It allows for a hold that is more natural feeling for me, and it seems to have tightened up my groupings a little too. Here are some pictures:
Given the vast collective experience on this forum, many have no doubt addressed and solved this issue before. What do you think of my solution? Is there a better way?
