Bought it as a replacement CCW after the arfcom curse. I had a G23C and could hit an IPSC target at 100 yards with relative ease. I took my G26 out and couldn't hit shit (clay targets) at 10 yards let alone half that. WTF gives?

Get a pinky extension. Worked wonders for my 26 shooting.
A Razr? Dafuq? |

Running the same course of fire with a plain-jane Glock 17 and Glock 26, my scores are nearly identical.
You're messing up some of the fundamentals here. It's not the gun. Sight alignment, trigger control... One of those two. |

The smaller glocks, as in all smaller pistols, require a more precise grip and the trigger "mash" must be isolated so as to not change the sights when mashing the trigger. I use the term "mash" because all out the box glocks have the classic Glock trigger pull, which as you know, is a squishy pull until break.
Try a small extension on the mag so you can get all 4 fingers on and the dry fire the shit out of it. "Clam shell" the grip....about 30-40% grip with the firing hand and the rest, the majority, with the non-firing hand. Obviously this is critical with all pistol shooting but more so with the smaller pistols. Again the key is dry fire and applying the strict fundamentals rigorously....sight alignment and trigger control are paramount. Are you familiar with the pencil drill? Try that. A question I would have is are you shooting a different pistol in between? What used to fuck me up was going from my match 1911 to a glock....the triggers are so different and I would end up mashing the glock trigger for a bit until I get in the groove again. Just a thought. My come to Allah moment was 30 years ago when I saw a buddy shoot a 3" group at a 35 yard Bianchi cup string with a J frame. It can be done as long as the shooter does everything they're supposed to. Here's a guy shooting about 40 yards with a G-27. About 30% hits though all would have been on an IPSC had that target been used. It can be done.... and by the way don't lose the ability to laugh at yourself. Shooting should be fun and they'll be plenty of time to get all pissed off and emotional when you're getting shot at

You're anticipating recoil, driving the gun down and if a right hand shooter ( and you are based on the silverware setup) , need to put a little more finger pad on the trigger. Try shooting strong hand only and take your time. BL it's a new gun and you need to get used to how you're mounting that particular pistol. |

Use only the distal portion of your finger. Isolate the movement on that finger and pull straight back to the rear. You'll get it eventually. Now go dry fire that a few thousand times.

Pinky extension helped me a lot. I have big hands. Check your sights on the weapon and make sure they are centered. I bought a Ruger P345 years ago and couldn't hit shit with it only to realize the front sight post was way off center. My Gen3 G26 is way more accurate than I am a shooter.

Last weekend.....75 yard reduced size silhouette steel offhand were easy... 100 yard I was averaging 8 for 10. I would consider pinky extensions and better sights. |

I run a +2 on mine.
It gives me a full grip and shoots as well as my others. It's a good gun, just spend some more time figuring the problem out. Start the day not blaming the gun, get back to basics and go from there. It will be worth it.

Quote HistoryI love these things. My 26 refused to feed anything but FMJ until I got these. I just couldn't get enough grip to keep it from rotating. ETA: Any of the pinky extensions I've tested would tend to fall off, sending my mag spring and ammo flying. This includes the +2 extensions, and the ones that were pinky-only. That, and if I was going to have a grip that big, I'd just carry my 19 in the first place. |

I've been doing this awhile....too little finger, on a Glock, usualy leads to pushing left, assuming a R hand shooter. Some of this is that because of the mushy trigger folks tend to over grip a glock. Muscular tension in a hand is transmitted to all the fingers, hence the "push". Hence my previous comment ref the importance of a 30/70 grip, strong hand to weak hand. This allows the trigger finger to be a bit more independant. Important on all pistols but more so on the Glock. Too much on the trigger generally pulls right. |
