What am I doing wrong?

[AeroEngi]

Try shooting the gun from a rest or from something stable. It could be the gun and not you.

My rear sight is already as far left of the slide as it can go so the previous owner probably had the same issue. So what can I do to fix it. Because it has to be the gun not me.

I'd start by moving the rear sight to the right. Your group will move in the direction you move your rear sight.

That chart is for right hand Bullseye, it's a reference at best. You need to start with the fundamentals: stance, grip, sight picture and trigger control. It's alot easier to show than to talk. Most new Glock shooters will go low and left, 90% of that is grip(too low in the web of your hand) and finger position on the trigger (too much finger). Grab the gun as high in the web of your hand then wrap your left hand around your right, do not use the front of the trigger guard. Put only the middle of the finger pad on the trigger. Your stance should be balanced with your right foot slightly to the rear. Lean into it a little, the keep your sight picture and break the trigger. It's not like shooting a rifle, and if you get tired, go to low ready. And start at 3 yards, not 7. When you can make about a one hole group, move out to 5 yards and so on. And go from the low ready, not Bullseye style. Oh, almost forgot, push the rear sight back to center before you try again. Pull the trigger until you hear the reset, then let if forward till it clicks again.

Grip should look like this



stance should look like this, knees do not have to be that bent.

Here's something. Are you pulling the blade of the trigger with the pad of your finger or the first joint? I tend to have larger hands and when my joint ends up on the trigger, it's always low and left... Have you tried using the pad of your trigger finger on the trigger while visualizing that you are pulling the target through your sights with your finger?

Theres about 1000 threads on "HELP IM SHOOTING LOW LEFT"....


Slow down, watch your front sight. What I do with my girl friend is load a snap cap randomly in a Mag. You will really see what your doing that way.

this works really well, try snap caps randomly loaded in mag

I meant the sight is as far right as it will go.

Wow a lot of great replies. Thanks guys I have a lot of stuff to touch up on.

You are anticipating the recoil and trying to force the barrel down. You may also be squeezing the grip of the pistol as you pull the trigger back, forcing your shot left.

Throw in a snap or two when you load a magazine and see what happens when you hit the snap cap. I bet there is a flinch in there that is throwing you off.

Glocks are horrible and never shoot straight. You need a 1911.

Well when my glock pulls out a nickel sized group for about 1/4 the price of a 1911 I can live with holding to the right a bit

And i may be shooting a 1911 soon enough. But well see.

And I have loaded snap caps before. Have slight slight flintch. But I'll try it again. Maybe I picked up a flinch again.. Still kinda crazy even with a flinch they all go in literally the same hole. That's why I could flinch out on that. That's one consistent flinch.

I'd spend a couple bucks and rent the same pistol and shoot them both. Should be able to figure out whether it's you or the pistol. I missed the post before about the sights being adjusted all the way over - sounds like it might be the pistol, esp if the previous owner was having issues with it.

If your rear sight is pushed all the way to the left, then there is your "left" part of "low and left". Center the rear sight up on the slide.

A "slight flinch" is still flinching. You will have to work through that with dry fire and snap-caps mixed into your magazines at random.

But when I used the ranges glock I pulled left with that one too. But it had the 5.5 connector on it. Then again that was months ago. Maybe I will but I want to find one with a 3.5 in it too donuts a closer comparison.

I love the gun it's just frustrating when I keep shooting left and I've tried just about everything to adjust or fix it.
