Improving Glock's pointability?

[rideanddive]

I've owned a Glock 17 and a Glock 26. I'm a huge fan of Glock's legendary reliability and durability, but they've never pointed naturally for me. The XD9, the SR9, and the M&P series all do point naturally. For those of you who own Glocks, do you have any suggestions, other than changing grip angle, to overcome this problem? Appreciate any help.

Damn. There is only so much you can do to a gun. Just practice more, dude.

ive never owned a glock until about a year ago for the same reasons. i gave a g23 a try and now i own 3 of them. a 23, 33 and a 20. the pointability issue is more fiction and fact to me. it does point different but it is all about what you are use to. i have been shooting my glock for the last year or so and now my XDs feel different. as long as i line up the sights property, the lead goes where it should.

Hmmm ... my very first pistol was a Glock17, and it felt great. When I later began shooting other guns with more traditional/ergonomic grip angles, they felt weird. It didn't take long to adjust though. I just need to make a "mental note" now, when picking up Glocks.

Wow, me too.

I'd say just practice. If you're going to do gun games with it, then just practice your draw w/ an unloaded Glock. It is, as noted, not that big a deal, IMHO.

The grip angle of Glock does take some getting used to, but I've noticed that the felt recoil of my G19 seems less than both my CZ75b and my Beretta 92fs, both of which are not only heavier, but also have the more traditional grip angles.

It's all about getting used to something different. For me, the gun I have the most rounds through is my Glock 34 so that is the gun the feels the most "natural" and points the best for me. However, I'm sure I could quickly adjust to a 1911 or another gun given some time and practice. That's really all it takes.

Stipple.

I just got my first Glock ever,a G19 back in Feb. 2010. The first time out to the range with it, I did horrible, but as I keep going to the range, and trying different things. I am(slowly) getting better. It still seems to me, that I shoot left for some reason, and have to aim to the right to get the shots to hit in the center Maybe I need to get some better sights, as I have the stock ones still on the pistol.

ledman, you're shooting left of the target because you don't have enough finger on the trigger. when you pull the trigger, you're actually pushing the gun slightly to the left. try putting more of your finger on the on the trigger.

Thanks for feedback

I never had any trouble with accuracy. I'm referring to the fact that for me I would point at the target and it would take longer to align the front sights of my Glocks than it did with the other guns. When I pointed them at the target it seemed they automatically had the right sight alignment. The time it takes to adjust the Glock could be crucial in a bad situation.

Practice practice practice. Or get new sights. I don't know. Your problem is really quite vague. I think you will probably do well to figure this one out on your own.

its the angle of the grip. it has too much of a rake.

try closing your eyes. then bring the pistol to eye level and open them. this will show your natural angle. only thing to do is retrain yourself by practicing drawing and aiming. do it a couple of hundred times aday and you'll start seeing results.
