Took my new Glock 30 to the range and had a failure to feed on the second round with Lawman 230 grain hardball. After that, the gun ran like a Timex watch. However, I am all over the pie plate at 30 feet. When I am taking slow, controlled, hand held shots (isosceles stance) at 30 feet, what size group should I expect from a G30??? 3 inches? 4 inches? 6 inches? Barn door? I can shoot 2 inch groups with my Colt. To be fair to the Glock I need to know what size group to be satisfied with... I have read posts where some shooters consider the G30 to be the most accurate Glock. Thanks.

Glock 30 questions...and expectations...

I'm assuming you're a 1911 shooter, and this is your first Glock purchase.
If that is the case, the Glock's trigger probably feels foreign to you.
Until you get used to the Glock trigger, the pistol will "dip downward" after the striker
is released causing your shot to go wild.
This will be frustrating until you get used to the Glock trigger.

Dogger,
Not trying to tell you how to do things, but, I would suggest shooting off bags to practice your trigger technique with your new Glock 30. It reduces the variables and will help you concentrate on your pull. Another thing is that if you will slowly release the trigger after firing until it just resets for your followup shots the groups will tighten tremendously.
I can consistently get one inch groups with 5 shots at 50 feet with my G30 off bags and taking my time. I have installed a 3.5 pound connector, polished the internals, and lubed it with Neco Molyslide, as well.
The 30 is my favorite Glock now and its accuracy is truly astounding once you get it down.
My offhand needs a lot of work(I suck), but I can keep them under 4 inches offhand.

Dogger: I have a G30. this was my first pistol ever. I have shot a lot of pistols of other owners, and I have never been a good shot with any of them. I had similar experiences with acuracy. But it was not the pistol. It was me. I was shooting low and left. I shot about 300 rounds and the more I got the feel of the trigger, the better the accuracy got. I am a right handed shooter, and I am still pulling shots to the left. I think it is because of the trigger pull, and when I pull the trigger, the aim points left. But I am not shooting low anymore. If I could quit pulling shots to the left, the G30 should be a fine shooter. Sling Shot
The Glock trigger is one of the best for actually training yourself to SQUEEZE it.
My 30 will shoot 1 1/2" at 15 yds easy.
Offhand, I shoot it for CCW qual and fired perfect score. We had to do weak hand and hip and everything.
This gun is amazing. So far, I have never had a failure to feed

My buddy had a G30 and was not as accurate with it as I was. I told him, and showed him, that I could shoot one hole with it at 7 yards.
He put a few hundred rounds through it and now he won't part with it for anything. He is very accurate with it.
Try dry firing it at home.
The G30 is a supremely accurate handgun, notorious for being capable of printing one inch groups at 25 yards.
Just put some rounds through it and you will get it down. Next thing you know you will be a Glock fanatic.

I get about 3 out of 4 shots onto 8" round steel targets at 25 yds (75 feet) with my stock Glock 30, but I've been getting used to the Glock trigger for 6 years or so. So I would say that IF your accuracy doesn't improve with practice, then there's something wrong with THAT pistol.
