polymerfeelsweirdman Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) It seems a lot of people rag on the Glock for poor accuracy, but I have come to believe that Glocks can be pretty accurate even in stock form. I am just curious what are the best groups or other accuracy metric for any type of Glock that you have seen. Some things I have noticed are vertical stringing and hand chambered round inaccuracy.

Tom C Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 It seems a lot of people rag on the Glock for poor accuracy, but I have come to believe that Glocks can be pretty accurate even in stock form. I am just curious what are the best groups or other accuracy metric for any type of Glock that you have seen. Some things I have noticed are vertical stringing and hand chambered round inaccuracy. Ya know.\, I've never thought of my Glock 19 as an accuracy (tack driver) tool but as a self defense tool. To that end I practice with it at 15 yards and, at that range range and running between 0.5 sec and 1 sec cadence, I keep 100 rounds in a 4 inch (center mass) group. And yes, save the changing of the Glock sights to Trigicon night sights, my Glock 19 is, in all other respects, stock. I do also use it in IDPA and hold my own out to 35 yards.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I have seen consistent 4"-5" groups at 50 yards with the 19- weird thing is that there was always only about a 1"-1.5" vertical variation so it was basically horizontal stringing Edited June 13, 2014 by polymerfeelsweirdman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That horizontal stringing is probably a by-product of the half-inch long trigger press. (Not insulting the shooter; it's just not a Gold Cup trigger.) The side-to-side fit of a Glock barrel is typically much better than its up-and-down fitment.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 You are probably right, I have room for improvement and it was with the regular 5.5# connector without any polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Shoot off the reset and your groups will tighten nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBP55 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 A Firearms Instructor shot 2 of my Glocks from a rest at 25 yards and he shot sub 2" groups from both the G17 and G34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 This is typically what happens to me: Always seems to be one shot that ruins it. Have you tried not counting the first hand chambered round or intentionally missing it into a safe backstop? I started trying this and I think it helped.

I have occasionally seen group improvements by firing the first round off target but that is not always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What's the diameter of that inner circle? Looks like a dang good grouping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried not counting the first hand chambered round or intentionally missing it into a safe backstop? I started trying this and I think it helped. I haven't. I don't know if that was the first shot or not, I was intentionally not looking at the target while testing a bunch of reloads so its hard to say what shot it was. What's the diameter of that inner circle? Looks like a dang good grouping! Its an NRA D1 target, so 4". Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
