| I can't shoot my glock 27 for shit! I've had it a little over 2 months and the grouping is terrible, I have a glock 22 that I can shoot pretty good. What am I doing wrong or do I just need to shoot it more? |

What am I doing wrong or do I just need to shoot it more? I had the same issue the first time I shot my 27. I worked on trigger rest/ trigger pull, and I also put a Pearce grip extension to help with the recoil those 27s can be snappy! Worked wonders! |

How many rounds have you put through it in the past 2 months? Are you dry-fire practicing with it? Without a pinky rest, it can feel like it's harder to control. This can immediately induce a flinch in someone who before didn't have one (trying to fight back the recoil). I only shoot my G27 with the flush magazines and I do pretty well with it. I routinely shoot a higher qualifying score on my G27 than my G23. For some people, the G27 just takes a lot of practice. For me, I think I overgrip with my pinky on fullsize guns––when shooting the G27 the pinky is eliminated and my groups tighten up.
How well do you shoot with your G22 (you say pretty good, what does that mean)? The G27 will accentuate issues you may be having with your G22 and not know it. |

With the +2 extension on the magazines, I can shoot my 27 about the same as my 22. Try squeezing the grip nice and tight and practice your smooth slow trigger pull. Each shot should slowly break, and not jerk the trigger.
Reposition the gun in your hand so that when you hold the gun up, the sights are alligned, You never want to have to bend your wrist to the left or right to line up the sights. Also make sure your trigger finger is only touching the trigger on the tip of your finger, not the first knuckle. Using it too close to the first knuckle causes you to pull your shots. Also, flinching, can cause your shots to go low. Buy a snap cap, or plastic bullet and have a friend load it somewhere in a magazine mixed in with live ammo. If you are flinching, when you shoot the practice round, you will see your gun jerk down about an inch or more. Once you know you are doing this, then you can slowly train yourself not to do it. |

My guess is your grip. The snappy recoil of the G27 combined with the small frame will work it's way loose in your hand. Try the GAP floorplates. They allow better control.

I did the above, stipled the grip and also installed a beaver tail. I know its a lot but it rocks now. |
i shoot my 27 better than my 19 for some reason. trigger pull is heavyer on my 19 which is a newer gen 3 model. (with ejection issues  )
if you have night sights, put a spent casing on the front sight and practice dry firing your weapon. rack the slide holding the trigger back, place the casing back on the sight and find the reset and dry fire again, do it over and over and over. this helped me become a way better shooter. |
| Go to Lone Wolf Distributor and get yourself a trigger kit to lighten it up and limited the distance it travels. Then get yourself the new Pachmayr Tactical Grip so it feels grippy in you hand. Also try the Gap magazine floor plate. I know you should not have to pay so much just to shoot, but it fun to customize your Glock. Good luck. |

I felt the same right after I first bought mine but just recently ive got it down well
Its all about technique not mods, my gun is bone stock just with mag extensions It was my first handgun so to say I was lost at first would be an understatement Pull the trigger so slow that the shot suprises you, I guarantee it will be on target Edit: hang in there buddy! |
