use the pad of your finger (not the joint) on the trigger and pull straight back

Quote HistoryQuoted: Assuming your front sight is square to the slide and with OEM parts, it is trigger finger placement. Right handed shooters shoot left....left handers shoot right. It's bc Glock triggers have long overtravel. Dry fire on a white wall and watch your front sight. It will move left when the trigger breaks. Fix it by tightening grip and reaching further into the trigger guard. Test via dry fire. |

Have a Glock certified armorer or similarly competent armorer take a micrometer to verfify sights are properly positioned. Try a different barrel. If that doesn't work try a different trigger group. If that doesn't correct anything than most likely it might be shooter. Could be the way your eye is focusing or the usual suspects of grip, trigger pull.
I have a GEN4 19 and when I do my job it's dead-on. When I got left or low left I know it's usually my trigger squeeze. |

I constantly dry fire with my glocks including my SIRT pistol that I have had since 2011. In my original post I said that I shoot a Glock 22 with the exact gen 4 9mm frame and DK Custom Trigger with no issues. The pistol that shoots left and the one that does not have the exact same 9mm lower with a light smooth and beautiful DK trigger with the take up and over travel removed. When I dryfire there is no movement in my sights since I constantly practice this specifically. I don't know how to make it any clearer that it is not user error. Thanks Quote HistoryQuoted:

Today I brought my G19.3 and G17.4 to the range with 150 rounds of Tula and 10 rounds of Speer Gold Dots... I was consistently shooting high left at 7 yards... about an inch left... anyways I slowed myself down and worked on my grip, trigger press and front sight and was able put several rounds into a tight little group just above the center of the target with 2 going inside the bullseye... it appears the winter was tuff on my pistol shooting ability. I'll be reasonable and concede it is shooter error in my case, specifically bad trigger press... I'm going to do some serious dry fire practice and get myself back into shape and report back!

I've been teaching pistol shooting for a lot of years. The simple fact of the matter is that on discharge the muzzle tends to break towards the weakest part of the grasping hand; AND, either pre or post ignition flinching only exacerbates this tendency. A right-handed pistol shooter will, indeed, tend to break his shots to the left (towards the fingertips of his grasping hand); and a left-handed pistol shooter will tend to break his shots towards the right.
I've, also, got more than 12 years of experience running Glock pistols (fixing them, too). Some people swear that there's no overtravel in a Glock trigger - or, at least, no discernible overtravel. Know what? Because of the comparatively large amount of mechanical slop and variance among different Glock pistols, some people may be right! Overtravel on many Glock pistols is, at most, barely discernible; and, when it does happen, it will tend to drop shots rather than to throw them either left, or right. In any event, Glock pistol triggers do NOT have long overtravel; most of the time they have barely noticeable overtravel, instead. Because I tend to shoot quickly I have eliminated overtravel from my own Glocks by using a variety of different aftermarket trigger stops. So far, I've found Ghost's EVO connector to be one of the best. Is a trigger stop absolutely necessary on a Glock? Ahh, I don't know; you can still do decent combat pistol shooting without using one. I do like mine though; and so has everyone else who's ever shot one of my Glocks. |

Have a competent left handed shooter fire the pistol WITHOUT telling him about the issue.
If he rarely shoots left, but starts shooting left than maybe it's the pistol. |

Not to muddy the waters, but the 19 shoots left and it has the standard trigger. All the cadet and department guns have standard triggers and I do not shoot them left. It is not the trigger. Maybe this will help. 1. Gen 4 Glock 22 - DK Custom Trigger - no pretravel/ no over travel. Does NOT shoot left. 2. Gen 4 Glock 17 - DK Custom Trigger - no pretravel/ no over travel. SHOOTS LEFT. 3. Gen 4 Glock 19 - Standard trigger SHOOTS LEFT. |

If I understand correctly, you drifted the sights and fixed the problem. So what's the problem again? I have to drift the sights on all my Glocks. This. All firearms must be sighted in to the user. Do you believe that there is such a thing as a mechanical zero for a weapon? Sure. But mechanical zero (which is centering the sights in the middle of the adjustment range) doesnt result in a sighted in weapon in most cases. If my rifle has 90 click of windage correction i cant just center it an 45 clicks and expect to hit where I am aiming. true zero might be as many as 12 clicks in either direction from mechanical zero. |

Glocks inability to make a firearm that shoots straight with the rear sight centered is one of the reasons I dumped them for other platforms.
Why? Because just like the OP, if you get used to presenting a firearm with a centered rear sight, and then you move to a firearm with the sight drifted to compensate for the gun shooting left, it really really fucks up your reps. All of the Glock 45's I owned shot dead nuts center with the rear sight centered. All of my Glock 19's shot dead nuts center with the rear sight centered. 2/3rds of my Glock 17's shot centered, 1/3rd shot left. EVERY SINGLE G34 I've owned and G17L I have owned shot far enough left that I refused to even try and keep them. Every. Single. One. And this was during my heyday of Glock love when I was exclusively shooting them. I've since switched to another popular striker fired platform, have owned about 8 of them, and all have shot centered with the rear sights in the middle. All of them. |

I will not keep a firearm I am not confident with. Especially if it causes me grief when I should be having fun shooting. Although, most shooting left problems are grip issues, you say not. I would find another brand to shoot. Glocks are not for everyone IMHO. My own brother hates them. I despise Sig. To each his own I guess. Peace!

Where is the path of least resistance for recoil? Watch it on video and you will see the pistol recoil up and left for a righty. When fired, they often dip down and left due to trigger control.

It's a known thing with glocks. Even Larry Vickers talks about this problem. I do it too, it's not too bad now days, I just train to shoot a little to the right of what I want to hit. I personally think its how the trigger bar is designed. It's how the trigger is squeezed. Yea... its kinda hard to say that when you shoot 10 shots with one glock and are dead center and then immediately pick up another and its 2" left, and then you immediately go back to the other and it is dead center... it does this consistently. I shoot dead on with my 23 and 17 but my 19 is a little left. Definitely annoying but going to take it out today and make whatever adjustments need to be made. I definitely blamed myself first and even went in bought a G17 trigger for my 19 thinking i might have been putting inconsistent pressure on the stepped trigger but it didn't make a difference (this was the trigger + trigger bar that I replaced).

I'd be interested in a citation or Vicker's quote. I think my rear may have been off too bc I changed out the sights yesterday and went out and shot straight. Idk... It shot really well with the new sights so I'm satisfied. The only other thing I can think of is that my 23 and 17 are G4 and my 19 is a G3 and maybe there were some discrepancies in my grip. |

Obviously you've yet to take the time to analyze your own grip, how your fingers curl, and where the weakest part of your encircling grasp actually is. (The part of your hand the whole gun wants to break toward every time you unconsciously relax your grip while firing!) You're, also, going to have to learn how to disarticulate your trigger finger from the circle of your grasp. Once you understand this, you'll begin to recognize how the muscles and tendons in your gun hand jerk and contract every time you flinch - Which should go a long way toward making a better pistolero out of you. |

OP I have the same issue. Same relative experience as you. I drifted the sights right and shoot dead center. This is on a G19 gen 4. G19 gen 3, shoots dead on with centered rear sight as does my G26 gen 4. They are all stock except factory extended slide stop. Old agency G23 gen 3 was also centered.
It just looks crazy when looking at the rear sight. It's not you. All my other guns are centered rear sights (HKs, 1911s, Sigs, Berettas, FNs, S&Ws). Shoot it and move on.

My last g19 and my new g43 BOTH allowed me to over tighten the front sight so much (I use small pliers on the Glock front sight tool) that it torqued the front sight off center a tiny bit--as confirmed with calipers--though a friend who is much more anal than me noticed it. I straightened them, while not tightening them quite as much, and used blue loctite.
One front sight was a Trijicon HD (g42/g43) and the other was a Y-notch Proctor sight (g19). Maybe GLOCK is getting sloppy on their front holes or maybe sights are too soft and allowing some twisting. I have two wilson combat battle sights that didn't get crooked when installed on a different gen4 g19. |

Mine does it too. I have a Gen 3 G17 that I have to hold right just off the target to get a center hit. I remedied that by shooting my Beretta instead. Kidding I did however push the sights to the right and the problem went away.

My new G17 was shooting left my first time out. I was determined I wouldn't have a drifted/cockeyed rear sight on it.
After a little dry fire practice to work on my trigger press, plus just slowing down a bit as I get used to my new pistol, the left thing went away in my subsequent range trips. |

I had the same issue. With the sights centered on a Glock 20 or Glock 21, I shoot center. For some reason, on my new G17, I was shooting 3 inches left at 15 yards. I just drifted the sight. I've also considered putting on the largest backstrap to see if the problem goes away. It feels about the same as a G21SF if I do that.

Ok
So here's a question. You drifted the sight to compensate. Now, does it hit POA? If so, double the sight distance. Now shoot again. Still hitting POA? Or left again? |

Now I am thoroughly confused; my Gen4 G19 shot way high and right. (I'm right-handed.) I bought a replacement set of Meprolight sights, thinking there was an issue with the originals. It didn't resolve the issue. I ended up using a 17L rear sight (shorter) and drifting it to left. I ended up sinking a lot of money into the gun just to get the sights aligned.

WHY SOME GLOCKS SHOOT HIGH! 
Another thing: Sometimes simply installing a new (flatter) aftermarket SLIDE LOCK can get rid of horizontal barrel misalignment. Glocks are cheap-to-manufacture, quickly made pistols. Some tinkering with the finished product is to be expected - As is a good 3 to 5 hundred round break-in period before carrying. |

I bought a replacement set of Meprolight sights, thinking there was an issue with the originals. It didn't resolve the issue. I ended up using a 17L rear sight (shorter) and drifting it to left. I ended up sinking a lot of money into the gun just to get the sights aligned. |
