issue shooting my glock 20

[ICONIC]

I am not new to shooting, but I am new to shooting glocks. I have put about 150 rounds through it and I have noticed that the majority of my shots are hitting to the upper left.

Any tips on correcting this issue. I have changed my grip/ stance/ and trigger press but I am still having this issue the majority of the time.

The Glock trigger can be hard to adjust to, but once you get it down, it's money. Lots of dry fire practice, focusing on keeping the front sight still through the trigger break. That's what cured all my problems/bad habits for the most part.

A couple questions:
1. Does the front sight move at all when you dry fire?
2. What distance are you shooting from?
3. How far are your rounds hitting away from point of aim?
4. Are they all in one group, or are you still able to call some shots in the "X"?

Try this chart...

Put a dime behind the front sight and dry fire, see if the dime flys off. If it does its you. My 27 hits high.

Better yet try putting an empty case balanced on your font sight and practice dry firing.

1. Does the front sight move at all when you dry fire?
-Front sight does not move when I dry fire.
2. What distance are you shooting from?
-7-15 feet
3. How far are your rounds hitting away from point of aim?
-At least 2-3 inches

-Most of the shots are not close to the point of aim. I also have been using 6 O'Clock sight picture due to hearing that glocks tend to hit high.
- I feel like the trigger is throwing me off. Any tips on getting used to it?

I had similar issues with Glocks until the triggers broke in. I just shot mine and eventually the trigger smoothed out enough where I didn't have the issues anymore.

bench rest it and see where it hits..it could just be you still..if not maybe its your sights

1. Does the front sight move at all when you dry fire?
-Front sight does not move when I dry fire.
That's a good start.

2. What distance are you shooting from?
-7-15 feet
Feet or Yards? 15 Feet is really close.

3. How far are your rounds hitting away from point of aim?
-At least 2-3 inches
If you're using a 6 O'Clock hold from 5yds, and hitting 3" up and left, that basically doubles how far off target you have been hitting. My Glocks shoot to POA (front sight covers a 2" target) within 7yds. I have to hold slightly lower @ 10yds (front sight covers bottom half of a 2" target), and I have to use a true 6 O'Clock hold @ 25yds.

-Most of the shots are not close to the point of aim. I also have been using 6 O'Clock sight picture due to hearing that glocks tend to hit high.

If your front sight doesn't move/twitch during dryfire practice, which you say it doesn't, the trigger isn't your problem. Either you're anticipating recoil, or maybe it's the ammo. What ammo are you shooting?

I answered in blue.

@ Meathead 9
I meant to say 7 to 15 yards.

I used a combo of American Eagle and Winchester ammo.

Thanks for the info on the POA. Next time I am at the range I am going to change up my POA

Pretty sure that you and the gun are still just breaking in.

My 17 RTF was shooting low left for about the first 150-200 rnds - Was freaking out thinking i was a terrible shot. Next time at the range it was money. If you're new to glocks it's like going from stick shift to automatic (bad analogy), it'll take some getting used too. You'll figure it out.

+1 on the corrections target. Glock ergonomicis cause one to naturally point higher.
At that close range I normally shoot right where I want the bullets to go.
Every pistol set up is alittle different though.
Best of Luck

What kind of sights are you using? Here's a snippet from the Glock website (which, in conjunction with the Corrections target, helped me out a lot):

GLOCK rear sights are available in four heights. The standard rear sight height for GLOCK pistols in 9x19, .40, .45 G.A.P., .357 and .380 calibers is 6.5mm (0.256in.); .45 and 10mm AUTO calibers 6.9mm (0.27in.). Rear sights are also available in heights of 6.1mm (0.24in.), 6.9mm (0.27in.) and 7.3mm (0.29in.). Every change of the rear sight height will result in a shift of the predicted position of approximately 50mm (1.97in.) over 25m (27yds.) firing distance.
