Am I the Only One Having Trouble Shooting the Glock?

What timing!

I was on my way here to post about the 3.5# connector I got for Christmas and have shot the 32 several times since then.

It has improved the ease of shooting the gun. The pull is smoother and there is no hard break at the end. The gun has always been very accurate, even with the Federal 40 barrel.

The part my son got me came from someone in South Africa. Wish I had gotten it a year ago.
 
Does it have the factory sights?

I found that they lined up alot differently than my other guns. When I put trijicons on it I shot it much better.

I never thought of myself as a great shot until I shot my first Glock. It makes me look like a Pro!.....Bought a Glock in 45 acp and 40 S&W....and they both shoot very well for me.
 
If I take my time and sight in...etc, I can shoot a glock ok! But what screws me up is the grip angle, I think?. I shoot high ALL OF THE TIME when shooting from a draw or just shooting quickly.
But thats ok... I like my "old fashioned" steel guns better anyway.

Shoot well
 
Interesting... In one of the first half-dozen posts above Prof says Glocks shoot 3" LOW for him. Eric Larsen says they shoot HIGH for him.

Just goes to show ya... it ain't always the gun:D

Now, if I were a wise-ass, I'd recommend to Prof that he stand on about 3" of phone books when he shoots, and tell Eric to move his target down a little in the target frame... Yep, I'd say that... if I wuz a wise-ass.:D :D

I've found that a cheap laser pointer taped to the frame of your Glock and several sessions of dry-firing at a suitably reflective target about 20 feet away will help immensely. Watch what the laser dot does when the trigger breaks. Adjust your grip [adj. both hands if you use a 2-handed grip] and trigger finger position until you get the minimum movement of the laser dot when dry fired. Practice this combination while dry firing for seveal hundred "shots," and then take the laser pointer off and try some live ammo at the range using the same hold and trigger technique. Seems to be the fastest way to teach basic trigger control. Refinement must be done with live ammo.
 
Other than a P32, I now only own Glock pistols. I have a G19 and a G26. When I first shot the 19, I was all over the place. I was put some dedicated practice into being "suprised" by the trigger break. My accuracy has improved to a point where it became my most accurate, favorite handgun. I then bought a G26 and my time to get proficient with it was seriously reduced since I was already used to the trigger from my G19.

I do not target shoot. I practice double taps, rapid fire, weak hand and one handed shooting for defensive purposes. I have gotten to where I can empty 18 rounds of 9mm in a dinner plate sized area as fast as I can empty the gun WITH my preferred carry load of 124 +P+ Hydrashoks.

When I do take the time to really try and get some small "target" groups, I can generally keep all rounds in a 2"-3" group up to 25 yards. It is nothing to put all rounds in a single large ragged hole at 7-10 yards.

I love the Glock!

You can cure the glock trigger. I know one IPSC guy who has a glock trigger pull that is lighter than my tuned 1911 trigger. Its still a bit longer than a SA, but it is pretty sweet. He says its all stock parts that are polished up, but you know those IPSC guys.... I'd like to lighten up my G30 trigger, just deciding on whether to try the lighter stock parts or get a custom trigger. Anyone have any direct experience with glock custom racing triggers? LAter.
 
The greatest impediment to accuracy in Glocks are the crappy sights. Once I put Trijicons on a couple and Heinies on one, accuracy improved for me. There just is not enough of a proper sight picture with those blocky plastic sights. Also, use the first joint of the finger similar to DA revolver shooting, not just the pad. Helped me. My Glock 30 in particular is a SIG killer...
