These groups are gen 5 vs gen 3 shot off a rest with RMR and blazer brass 147 and 115. The gen 5 groups are pretty meh compared to the gen 3.

Going to have to dig deep, but I know I have a few photos of zeroing targets......All of these will be 25 yards- if a gun shoots obviously in one direction, I dont bother shooting more than a round or two, hey, gold dot is expensive...These are NOT 10 round groups, this is not scientific, just an example of what I've come across and remembered to photograph.
My latest Sig 320 4.7 which is a bit of a freak; obvious adjustments made, obvious flyer at some point as well, but it shoots as tight as my staccatos My other few 4.7s are closer to 1 3/4-2, and my 3.9 barrels all struggle to shoot better than 2.5 Attached File This was a friend's G19 with holosun- the far right shot was absolutely induced by me, though still a good group even with it: Attached File Staccato P- upon setting up, it was shooting right and a touch high- the shots to the right were obvious, so I moved left- the group above the center was a few rounds before I moved it down a few clicks- point is, those groups are separate. Attached File My old G17.5 Attached File Pretty sure this was one of my G19.5, and I wouldn't be surprised if I shot a few and made a click or two down because im stingy, but either way this would have been totally acceptable for a "final" zero. Attached File |
|
|
Staccato C2, shot right, adjusted just a tad far to the left, and yes, that leftward bias was corrected with a click or two to the right, so that final group with as many shots are in there is with adjustments to get it centered- staccato's have all been super accurate. (once again excuse the obvious flyer....)

Usually when Im zeroing a pistol, I use whatever range ammo I have on hand to get it close and then I switch to the duty ammo, which again is gold dot 124 standard pressure. I've been absolutely amazed with the accuracy from that loading, and it shoots really really well out of pretty much every pistol I've zeroed at 25 yards. Modern pistols and modern ammo are impressive. My Sig 320's absolutely HATE 115 ball ammo- Ive found its almost not worth wasting it trying to shoot a group- I'll generally get 4-5" or so with it. The Glocks shot it a little better to the point I could actually get meaningful data from it, staccatos shoot basically anything pretty well. |

My bet is the HST 124 will shoot really well in it.

On the Sigs using the X series grips I can use that ledge as a thumb rest without worrying about the slide lock. On most guns with ambi’s, I find I just don’t get slide lock on an empty mag.

As a way to temper the sting, I bought a KKM barrel. So look forward to testing that out in next 2 weeks in my gen 5 (and also shooting the FAMQ!) Fun fact - I called KKM and they said despite the fact that have different skus, the gen 1-4 and gen 5 kkm barrel for the g19 are actually identical. |

I'm not having accuracy issues, I just don't like the polygonal/land combination. Only reason the marksman bbl exist is for the FBI contract, they requested it as polygonal barrels are notoriously hard to trace. Glock spun it as an improvement, which it is not. |

This thread is very interesting.
I've got a basic question: Glock Gen5, 19 MOS. Using a Forward Controls mounting plate Trijicon RMR Type 2, 3.25 moa. If the RMR is turned off (dark) can the factory iron sights be use? If the RMS is turn on, where will the dot sit in the screen in relation to the iron sights? |
