G32 hitting to the left

[powderedtoastman]

So I've had my G32 for about 6 months now, and it is the 5th one in my collection, and my CCW piece. When I first started practicing with it, I tried several different makes of ammo for it, and I shoot it very well.
On my last two range trips however, I've noticed my hits are at 9 o'clock when shooting at a 8" circle sticky target at 7 yards. I shot it from the bench, my dad as well, and no matter what the circumstance or ammo(Cor-bon, Speer gold dot, hornady, WWB), it hits to the left.
When I swap out the barrel for my LWD .40 barrel, all my/our hits are dead center. About 250 rounds have been hitting to the left, all of a sudden. Any ideas?

Just to verify, when you say you swap in a other barrel, you are just swapping barrels and not the entire slide, correct?

Interesting cause my friends S&W MP40 has the same problem. No matter how we shoot or grip the pistol it always shoots to the left. You have to aim right to hit the center of target. Kind of annoying. We think its user error, but this thread has got me thinking.

civilsnake; yes just the barrel not the entire slide. I am always quick to blame myself for poor shooting, and I have my good and bad days, but I'm out of ideas as to what this is. As of yet, I'm going to qualify with my .40 barrel and put that on my ccw. It never fails: .357Sig to the left, .40 dead center at point of aim. ???

Maybe check the barrel for any leading? Have you shot any lead cast bullets out of your Glock?

Yeah, I've only fired factory fmj/jhp ammo, and I clean it after every range trip. There isn't any pitting, or excessive wear on the barrel, but I tried one thing that has me really considering just buying a new barrel.
A coworker of mine has a .357 LWD barrel for his G23 that I put in today, and 50 rounds were hitting right at the top of my front sight at 21 feet from the bench. WTF?

I don't know if with you it may be the same situation, but I had the same issue when I first got my g17 it would shoot to the lower left and I never for the first couple of months owning it considered if I was holding it wrong, because whenever I'd shoot my non glock guns the rounds would go where I wanted them to, so I never considered that maybe I was holding it wrong. So one day at the range I started griping my g17 in different ways that Im not use to and shot it and thankfully I found the answer to my accuracy issue . If you haven't tried this do consider it.

I would just contact Glock and see if they will work with you. Otherwise, buy a new barrel.
