Alright, Im fairly new to pistol shooting and I recently purchased a Glock 17 (gen 3/used) and I cant shoot it for crap. I get lousy groupings and very inconsistant shots. The reason Im concerned is I can shoot my buddies glock 19 and put one ragged hole in the center of the paper.
My Glock 17 has a stock trigger and tritium night sights. I dont really think the size issue between the 19 and the 17 would lead to the different results. Right now Im thinking new barrel and big dot sights, not sure if that would help. Any thoughts |

If you are unsatisfied with your groups now then you are REALLY going to be pissed if you go to big dots. Its not the groupings Im concerned about....its the inconsistancy between simlar weapons. I dont shoot to get bulleyes. I want to big dots because they seem much for effective for defensive shooting. |
the two similar pistols really do feel different to different people...I have both and prefer the 17 for shooting and the 19 for concealing  but also check for sure on the trigger...I just picked up a co workers (not a gun guy) G17 and he told me stock trigger...in dry fire I can't tell much of a difference to my other Glocks but I have shot the NY-2 before...although this new to me (1999 model) feels similar in trigger pull, the reset is much sharper than I have had with any other new Glock with the stock 5.5 lb. trigger setup...

I can't shoot the larger Glocks since the hump placement is farther down. Shots are off,grip in uncomfortable and the sights never align naturally. My G19 and 2 G26s shoot where I point them and the sights are dead on when brought up to eye level. All I ever shot was a buddies G17 for years once in awhile and never liked it. One day I ask to see a G26 and instantly knew I wanted it, got a G19 and realized what I was missing. The grip sizes and hump placements do make a difference. Same reason why I can't stand arched mainspring housings on 1911s. |
