Some years back, I got what I considered a good deal on a Glock 22. Problem was, I couldn't shoot it accurately. No jams, just, "if I was shooting for sh**, I wouldn't get a whiff", to quote the movie. Annoying. Especially because I can shoot other pistols well. 1911s, the SIG I've been issued, my backup SIG... All good. The Glock... not so much. So the Glock went into the cabinet to wait. Just recently I found what I considered to be a great deal on a gen III Glock 20 with 6 15 round magazines, so I jumped on it. Today, I went to the range and... See above. So what could I be doing where I can shoot other makes of pistols and get decent groups at decent ranges, but put a Glock in my hand and I might just as well crank it sideways, gangsta style, because "minute of bad guy" at 7 yards is the best I could do. Firing was two handed, weaver, standing, taking plenty of time to get the sight picture right. (And I like how the G20 handles the 10mm. When I get more $$$ I'll get some of the good loads...) What the heck, y'all? I know about and practice trigger reset. I know about and practice sight picture retention. I know how to shoot, I just can''t make it work with a Glock. I got some good recommendations from GlockTalk, figured I'd pick some brains here, too. |

I noticed that you are having problems with the full size glocks. I do too, I can only shoot the compacts real well. I taught myself to shoot ok with the full size, but still not as good as with the compacts. I have to use a flat MSH on a 1911 too, the arched throws me off. And I always shot sigs exceptionally well. |
You know, I've never even tried the smaller Glocks. Just the 20, 21 and 22. |
If I was giving up, I wouldn't be looking for improvement tips.  I may need to buy a G17 or G19, though, for cheaper practice ammo... |
