Do Glocks usually shoot low.  I have a G23 and a friend of mine has a G22 which both seem to shoot low.  We have shot a variety of ammo.  I have an XD which you dead on for target acquisition and a beretta which is the same.  The Glock seems like I really have to aim 2 inches high and lose view of my target to hit where I want. The gun was hadly used when I bought it and I put around 400 rounds through it.  Does it have to break in?  What do you all think.

Have not had those problems with my g23.  Mine shot high and left due to operator error.  when dry fired I could not keep the front sight from jiggling when the trigger broke.  It/me has gotton better with use.  I did the ultra cheapo trigger job for glocks, not sure if that helped or not.  Also, I have trijicons on mine.  I never shot it with the stock sights.

That's probably operator error.  I do the same thing.  The Glock has a longer, harder trigger pull since it's pretty much DA and it takes some training to shoot that with serious precision.

could be to much finger in the trigger . dont know how much finger you are useing but only use enough finger to release the trigger safety .

I would guess that you are not locking your wrist up properly, you need more pressure from the heel of the hand.
Mix a few snap caps among the ammo and you will probably find yourself pulling low. Glocks have quite an overtravel.

Try dry firing about 10 times then shooting a single live round.  I bet it goes right where you point.

I shoot a little low on my second shot when I do double taps if I don't concentrate.  But its more about getting two shot off very fast, not pinpoint accuracy.

Or not enough.  With just the tip of the finger, all my Glocks shoot 6" to the left at 15 yards.  The more finger I use, the more to the right I change poi.
