Remember the fundamentals of aiming, breath control, hold control, trigger control and follow through. I spent over an hour yesterday with a student who kept jerking the trigger. He owns two different Glocks with varied trigger pound pulls. Before we shot I checked out his pistols. On his Glock 21 I noticed that his rear sights were not centered and a ding where it had been dropped. Got him on target after adjusting the rear sight.

Glock uses Federal ammunition to test fire their pistols. American Eagle shoots fine in my Glocks.

As suggested by Ichiban and TWyacht, shoot targets at a closer range with a bench rest position. Good luck and hope it is only a ammo problem.

thanks fellows very much for your input. i will put this to use at the firing range and hopefully start making better results. i really love the way this g38 feels and is perfect for concealed carry. i hope i can get a better since of aiming lol.

Several good ideas....try different ammo and maybe a different shooter for a perspective.

With a barrel length of about 4" the velocity of the ammo shouldn't be a major factor (longer barrels and slower ammo equals higher POI vs POA), but at 25 yards you never know.

I had a Ruger .44 magnum with a 7.5" barrel the would hit dead nuts at 25 with magnum ammo, but wouldn't hit the target at all with feeble 248gr .44spl loads......the recoil was effecting accuracy because the gun was already moving up in recoil before the bullet left the barrel.

If the same loads you are using group well at 5yds, move to 7, then 10, then 15, and 25...checking grouping at each range.
Maybe sandbag the gun on a bench and note whether the groups are rising with distance. Shooting from a rest may also help determine if it is your trigger control also.

Good Luck and safe shooting!!!
