Quoted: I just recently bought a used G19 and have not been able to get any kind of decent group out of it yet, this is after about 500 rounds. My best group at 20 meters is probly 5 inches for 5 shots, and 3 inches at 10 meters. I seem to have alot of shots were I think I made a good shot to find random stray shots on the target. I was questioning my ability, but I shot my roommates kimber and put 14 rounds right on top of each other at 20 meters the first time I ever shot it. It is a gen. 2 G19. I really just want a good target/range pistol since that is all it is for. Whats your input?

Glocks are great combat/duty pistols. They are also great "range" pistols... but "target" pistols they are not. If you want something that will intuitively punch a ragged hole at 20+ meters, get something besides a Glock. And for what it's worth, I shot a guy's Kimber .45 at the range once and shot the best group I've ever shot with a pistol at 25 yards. Then I went back to my Glocks and they still wouldn't do it.
I wouldn't be too quick to say it's ALL you. I've never had a Glock that was a great grouper out past 15 yards or so... and some Glocks shoot better than others based on my experience. My new Glock 22 duty pistol shoots circles around the one I had before. It was older, but not worn out at all.
So, if you want a target pistol that shoots tiny groups at 20M, my advice is to get something besides a Glock. I love my Glocks, and especially my G19... but they are not target guns.
