MFM22 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I just ran 150 round through my New 34 gen 5 and was off to the left at 10 yards about 2-3 " . OK , I know left [ low ] is probably poor trigger . I am trying to use more left hand to control recoil up high etc and thought that might contribute . Seems like I shoot 45 better at this point with slow fire . figured the 9mm would be better with recoil and $$ ammo Used a friends Walther last week and seemed better ? should I give it more time ?, have the sights checked ? or adjust aim point ?

ming Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 shoot it of a rest of some kind would be the first thing I'd try. That or have a buddy shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFM22 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Good idea ! , Don't know why I didn't try off a rest ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armedinmd Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 When I've had this question the first thing I did was ask someone else at the range to fire it. Not sure if that's an option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1time Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Is the rear sight centered or slightly off to the right? We were issued gen 5 17’s at work and all of the sights were slightly to the right and perfectly zero’d. If you had new sights installed and they were centered, that could be your problem.Otherwise, shooting left happens with right handed shooters if their trigger control is off.

That is really true, I guess I've gotten kinda lucky each time because the other shooter has always proved it was me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFM22 Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Had some range time today , tried from resting position on top of range bag - first shot dead center. So. I suck lol no doubt my trigger control needs lots of work. Just surprised at the consistency of being left. Not always low but just left. Will be at it tomorrow with a very experienced shooter.

Armedinmd Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure getting practice in is the first step. Glad you could rule out the gun. Edited February 11, 2020 by Armedinmd Punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edison Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) With a double stack glock I like having more finger on the trigger. Almost like shooting a revolver for more leverage. It solved the low left issue for me. When I shoot low left now, it's because I'm pushing the gun too early & not because of trigger control.

MFM22 Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Not sure the glock is for me , hard to index , grip is just ok , very light . This is compared to my Kimber full size 1911 I can give it time and practice for sure but hate to invest time when there may be a more suitable gun I've been able to handle a few other options Walther Q5 match polymer , Sig p320 legion, HK VP9 , Shadow 2. etc. handling is one thing but getting to shoot not an option . The Shadow 2 is the best fit of these for my hands - probably because it feels similar to my 1911 Edited February 11, 2020 by MFM22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lean towards the 1911 grip angle you will naturally shoot a similar grip angle better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimmer1980 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 1. If you can shoot straight and can shoot small groups, but your whole group goes to the left, it´s the sights. 2. If you are new to shooting, you better let someone shoot it, that can shoot small groups. 3. If you fire fast rapid groups, it´s pretty likely you push the gun to the left, thats pretty common.

blasterboy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 If your shooting decent groups, move the rear site and forget about it! I've got something off with my dominant eye (stigmatism I think), my rear sight is now noticeable pushed to the left (0.030"), that's what works for me.

perttime Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 If it is an ancient Glock with a few dozen k through it, you could have a slide that is cracking at the ekection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_whole_lot_of_freedom Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'd recommend the legion if you want to stick to polymer and if you are into steel frame id recommend the Q5 steel frame. They are striker fire guns with good factory triggers so you don't have to worry about double action/single action like with CZsSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1974 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Every time I buy a Glock, the first thing I do, is replace the Glock sights with a set of awesome Dawson Precision fiber optic competition sights. That's just me but it fixes everything every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
