| I have a G17,G21 and a G22 all have fixed sights when I bench rest the pistols the 17 shoots almost an inch to the right, the 21 is about spot on and the 22 shoots about 1/2 inch to the right, at first I thougt I was jerking the trigger, but once I bench rested I know different. The sights have never been messed with and the guns are brand new 6-8 months old, does glock test the sights they install? should I go with adjustable sights to fix the problem? or is it easier to try and adjust the fixed sights with an adjustment tool? |

Quoted: Quoted: I'm almost willing to bet if you right handers that are shooting to the left would put a little more finger on the trigger, it just may move your group to the right. I had the same "problem" with my Glocks too! Yup, it's a very common problem with Glocks. It was a hard habit for me to accept. I actually have my finger into the trigger up to the first joint, which is more finger than I put on any trigger on any gun. However, it brought my groups right back to center. A few months back I did a post about this. Apparently my ability to search isn't up to the task to find it though!  |
| if you are shooting one glock spot on and other are off that tells me it is probably not a technique problem. getting borrowing a dsght pusher to get the windage proper is the right answer. Every gun will tend to shoot a little dirreent for each shooter and this is exactly why they make sight pushers and adjustable sights,not to mention different loads will shoot to different points of aim. And variation in poi with ammo changes is NOT just an elevation thing. A very experienced bullseye shooter I know noted significant changes in windage with changes in bullet weight and style |

I did notice that on my 21 I use more of my finger than the other two pistols, I borrowed a sight tool and it didn't take much adjustment at all to change the line of sight, matter of fact I ended up pushing my 17 way out, took me awhile to get it back to where it needed to be. now I know little bits at a time.
Thanks for the advice.
