I shot mine to the left all the time.
Until I started using more of my trigger finger to pull the trigger. Problem went away. Your problem now is that you have knocked your sights out of alignment, so you won't know if you've fixed it or not. |

You don't want to hear this and will probably fight us trying to help you with it but.....
It is you not the Gun The Glock firing structure over amplifies peoples trigger pull, trigger press and reset. This causes an amplification of trigger pull error similar to trigger slapping or not using enough finger on the trigger (1911 guys usually have the worst time correcting it due to the light SA triggers they are used to). My advice is to return the sights to dead center on the weapon. Start slow at the range and correct your grip and trigger pull fundamentals. Do NOT shoot 200+ rounds at a time; you will just build on trigger pulls that do not work. Shoot 50 rounds at a session, work on your trigger finger position, pull and follow through. |

Try changing the connector to the 3.5 lb one and see if that makes a difference. I bet the trigger is just to heavy for your normal shooting style.

I've found it to be spot on with all the problems both myself and other novice shooters encounter. Almost always points you in the right direction for improving your handgun shooting. |

The stock Glock trigger is perfectly workable with practice. Especially if you plan on carrying the gun. I would not go with a 3.5lb connector. OP, Shoot the gun a lot and see how you do, dryfire plenty, too. |

Both my 3rd gen 17s shoot to the left. I shifted both pistols' rear sights to the right, and zeroed them at 50 yards. And when I do a ball and dummy drill, I my dryfire is clean, no trigger jerk or sights thrown off.

This helps most people:
Just kidding. At one time, I owned 12 Glocks. I'm down to eight now. With all of my Gen 1 and Gen 2 Glocks, the sights are all centered and they shoot point of aim for me. I have large hands, and for some reason, 3rd Gen Glocks all shoot slightly left for me. The sights on my Gen 3's are all drifted slightly to the right. I know it's me since other people shoot them and they don't have the problem I do. I have set a Gen 1 G17, Gen 2 G17 and a Gen 3 G17 on the bench in front of me and shot 5 shots out of them all. I ended up with 10 shots dead center and 5 shots slightly left. It's just the way the 3rd Gens fit me, or don't fit me for that matter. I don't have a problem with it, since after the sights are drifted, they hit where they should. That's why I prefer Gen 1's. Glock had it right the first time. |

I have two Gen 3 Glock 17's.
The one from 6 years ago hits dead center. The one from last year shoots so far left the rear sight is now drifted all the way right to compensate. I plan to swap around parts at the range when I get a chance to try to figure this out. The 6yr old has a 6 pound trigger pull while the 1yr old is 6.75. The only other difference is the new one does not say "Made in Austria" on the side of the frame.  |

my groups are always tight just left. i understand fundamentals as i have no problems with any of my other pistols or ones i have shot, i just would like to p/u the gun with what my natural hold is without haveing to adjust my hand to compensate. maybe Robar's grip reduction will help me. has anyone tried this?

It was different for me. I went from shooting my HKs and M9A1 to my Glock 19, and was putting the rounds in the X Ring first pull of the trigger.
I don't shoot my HKs as well. |

The Sig 228 always did this to me. I really had to work at shooting it accurately. Trigger pull was a bit short for my meat hooks. I haven't had the problem with anything else, including the G26 and G19 |

I know I'm not the best shot there is, but I am going to give Graham's part a shot. Doesn't cost a whole lot and he warranties in no matter what. Even if it doesn't shoot straight. Can't beat that!
Just talked to him and he seems like a alright guy. |
