Mitch65 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I posted about a month ago about my new G34 shooting left. I had to move the sights to the right to be POA. Before I get everyone saying its my grip and trigger ect it's not. I used a Ransom rest at my range and with the sights centered on the dove tail it shoots 3" left at 20-25ft. It groups very very tight. I had 4 rounds touching. I used a caliper and am positive the sights are centered! Knowing that I have established 100% that my gun shoots left what do I do to fix this? Could it be the barrel. Barrel crown looks normal and the locking block is nice and tight. What will fix this problem. I suppose I can drift the rear sight but I want it to be centered. Drifting the sight about .025 gets it POA right in the center but it looks horrible on the slide. What should I do? Would a need barrel fix it? Send to glock? Help? I'm very frustrated I just spent $650 on this glock it's got less than 1000 Rds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just drift the rear sight. That's why they make them that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M109R Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Send it back and see what Glock says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striped1 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Drift it or find ammo that has a different POI. Otherwise it can look good or it can shoot POA to POI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahlsan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Put a dot on it and shoot open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch65 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Maybe you guys are right just drift it and live with it. Gun functions flawlessly and it's super accurate just shoots left. Does anyone know the part or component that would cause this? Maybe a lone wolf barrel would fix it? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If it runs and is accurate - don't F... with it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5iron Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just because the sight is centered on the slide, does not mean in is centered over the barrel, drift the sight and shoot those groups in the center of the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Call Glock and see what they have to say. They have very good CS and will probably send you a shipping label if you ask for one and tell them you'd like them to take a look at it. I've heard of someone with a simular issue who said he replaced the locking block and that fixed POI. Maybe find someone else with a G34 and try swapping locking blocks and barrels (one at a time) and see if either makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg308 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Remove front sight, dovetail the slide for a front sight, adjust as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Drift the rear sight, lol. Sometimes the simple solution is the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blade Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Dawson precision adjustable rear sights. Now you can really adjust any load and sight picture.

assaultthesalt Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Drift the rear. I have a G21 gen 3 I use in CDP and my G34 for ESP that has the sights drifted.Every other Glock I own shoots strait with sights centered.My trainer thought I had shooting issues when he saw my sights.....until he shot the guns and held tight groups !

Nik Habicht Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure almost every Glock I've ever owned, I've drifted the rear sight slightly toward the right. Then again, I don't care how the gun looks, just that it put the beebees where the sights are pointed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 3" left at 25' = .025" drift to the right is not horrible, try it at 25 YARDS! Hope you dont lose sleep over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 This is actually a factory feature of the GLOCK platform. Most GLOCK users exhibit aggressive trigger control during a dynamic critical incident, so the sights are adjusted to compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorfish Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Simple Solutions to Common Gun Inaccuracies: Problem ---> Solution ------------------------------------------------ Gun Shoots High ---> Aim Low Gun Shoots Low ---> Aim High Gun Shoots Right ---> Aim Left Gun Shoots Left ---> Aim Right Note: If more than one problem exists you may need two simultaneous corrections. For example, gun shoots low AND left ---> solution would be to aim high AND right. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) As others have noted, it doesn't matter where the sights are relative to the slide (as long as they're not falling out) as long as, from a rest, the bullets are going where you want them. You might also find that aftermarket sights have to be adjusted to completely different points relative to the frame, or that you have to adjust both the front and the rear to be off center in different ways. Basically whatever makes the gun work. Edited March 18, 2015 by thermobollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If you are super concerned about the aesthetics, then remove the rear sight, and grind off 0.050 from the right side, then the sight will look like it is centered even if the rear notch is not.

Rob D Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just drift the rear sight. That's why they make them that way. +1 It's a glock. It's made to be defensive pistol. You're lucky that the groups are that tight. I've definitely had some that wouldn't even come close. Sounds like you got a good one. Knock the sight over a tiny bit and shoot the hell out of that gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkface Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You can either change the sights out, send it back to glock, or just drift the rear sight. Mine is slightly drifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm curious now. I just got a Dawson CRP 34 and haven't shot it yet. They come with Dawson's Perfect Impact Sight-In Guarantee and the rear is centered perfectly in the slide. Not exactly sure what kind of accuracy they're guaranteeing from a Glock but I'll let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
