At this point I'm so disgusted with the situation I'm getting worse every time I go; so my Glock pistols are either going into long term storage in the safe or getting sold off.

I shoot both the M&P and the Sig much better than the Glock so after months of effort, I'm done.

Thank you J Jones and everyone else for trying to help.

Hey Evo what happens if you shoot one handed or off a rest? Your groups look great so without standing next to you at the range I would think the sights were the problem too, but you know yourself better than we do.

Coming from the revolver world in the 60's and 70's, many of us felt the Glock was awkward in the hand. I don't see the same issue with a P320 or M&P. Not bashing the Glock here, just observing that one size does not fit all.

I personally think dry fire is the cure all that many seem to, but I do think it will help in this situation. Dry fire practice with a spent case balanced on the front sight, or a coin, will help you try different grips till you find the right one. Problem is, the Glock need to be racked to reset, so it will be tedious balancing, firing, racking and balancing again.

I don't agree with anyone that says drift the sights unless it's been verified that the sights are indeed off. Because when you actually do things right, your shots will be off.

Selling them is a viable option as well. I've never warmed to Glocks myself. I have to "break" my wrist down a bit to level the sights, which I feel makes the felt recoil more pronounced, and thus requires a deliberate change to my grip than all my other pistols. So I just never bought one. However, in my opinion, if you can shoot a Glock well, it translates to any other platform. Like the inverse of a 1911 trigger which can mask fundamental deficiencies, mastering a Glock will improve all of your shooting.

Regardless, remember a lot of the reason we participate in the sport of shooting is for enjoyment. If it becomes too much work and no fun, there's no point. In other words, don't let frustration win too easily, but also don't let frustration turn you off to shooting all together.

Best of luck to you!

I agree, I don't see this pattern repeat with the G43 nor the G42. I'm dead center with those two Glock pistols.

There is just something about that grip angle in combination with the grip thickness that causes a lot of people to shoot left.

I wish I were not one of them, but.... oh well.
