Glocks all shoot high?

[tombogan03884]

Just cut the bottom half off the white dot with the V of the rear sight. Looks like there is some sort of divot in the center of your front sight dot, put THAT in the V of the rear sight and you should be right on.

Just my two cents. Alot of people who shoot 1911's all their life, shoot glocks high. Its the way you are used to gripping the gun.

I kinda touched on this with my experience about flat and arched back straps.

I could be way off on this though.

My G27 shoots POA-POI from 15 to 25 yards with Cor-Bon 165 JHPs.

It maybe your grip is all wrong. I have 4 glocks a 22,26,19,20, and none shoot high. As for sights they all have factory sights and rods, and I've trained at Gunsite with all of them and had no issues.

While I'm on the Glock, anybody know who makes the little laser on this gun?  I've seen several like it, but they looked bigger and of lower quality.  This one looks pretty nice!

Isnt the guide rod missing here?

That is the LaserMax Unimax Rail Mount Laser. Pretty cool, because you can add a light underneath, if you need it, or want it.

The guide rod is there. The model is one of the longer slide Glocks. Probably a 34, but could be a 35, 17L, or 24.

On sale for $160 right now too...  2" high shooting problem solved!


tom, if I shoot it as shown in the pic I hit about 6" high.  Only by doing what you suggest will it hit 2" high.  I noticed this at the range shooting prone even with half a dozen different loads (it shoots almost exactly the same groups regardless of ammo type), so I put it on bags latter and found it doing the same thing (not grip related).

I like the XS sights, just not that the gun seems intended to shoot high.  The XS's have VERY quick target aquisition, outstanding in the dark!  Like the company says. "just dot the i ".

I'll bet at 50 yards it probably would hit POA.  If thats where the factory sets them up...  Well, seriously!?!    That's not an intelligent shot to make with this gun unless you HAVE to.  I'd expect to aim two inches high at that distance.  Gonna be mighty tough to convince the jury it was self defense! 

I'm going to contact Glock just out of curiosity...  Let you know.

Shooting prone? 

I will say it again, COMBAT ACCURACY

BTW, I think that a 25 yd shot would be just as hard to explain to a jury as a 50 yarder.

This whole 2'' high thing really shouldn't be such a hangup for you since you feel so well protected with that little .22 of yours..... and since your quoted "ballistics" only put that at dropping 1.4'' at 100 yards.  I mean why do you even own a subcompact Glock?

I have shot a good number of glocks recently in .9, .40, .45 and I generally am not worried about the 25 yard shot.  I am generally shooting from 10 yards in.  I haven't seen any pattern of shooting high.  I focus hard on the top edge of the sight and put my target right on that.  If anything I get a bit of left as in still settling in with the right amount of trigger finger.

My 22 and 23 generally out-shoot me! Try different height sites.

I sold 2 Berettas and plan to replace them with Glocks. Probably 26 and 19, maybe a 34. Does anyone know if the longer slide on the 34 makes them less reliable?

[Badgersmilk]

Fuz,

Sold the Beretta's?  Mind me asking why?  I'm guessing you had 92's, I have never owned one, but they seem like a good option for 9mm.
