Glock shoots left

[Koda]

Stock gun, same as all my other glocks, although this is the only one with a factory "-" connector.

If youve modified the trigger pull on all your other glocks then its you not the stock glock.

The odds of this is extremely low, especially on what is probably ine of the most successful guns on the civilian market.

Again, not a dig on you're abilities, but many experienced shooters get a new gun that shoots off because of some fundamental thats never showed up before. I would continue to investigate grip, finger pad position etc. Put a dime on the slide by the front sight and dry fire, it shouldnt fall off.

It's not like the ergonomics are terribly different between the 19x, 17, and 34. Watching two other competent shooters deliver the same result just makes me think it's a mechanical issue. It's not low/left, it's just left

Not to sound like a dis, but what are you calling a "competent" shooter, and what experience do they have with a Glock?

Barring shooting from a vice, swapping sights or barrel might tell a lot?

Then i would dbl check the centering of the rear sight. If its centered then it might just need a nudge. How far left is it shooting?

OP don't you read the forum?? It's a Glock. It's perfect!! By the way which generation of "Perfection" is it?? There must be some anomaly in Earth's gravitational field where you're shooting. Perhaps a shift in the magnetic field?? A disturbance in the Force?? Any of these are far more likely than a fault with Perfection.

Rear sight sits .020" to the right of center now, with gets POA and POI to match. With the rear sight at center, POI was a solid 4"+ left of the POA. It runs…I suppose this is why sights are adjustable. Just weird enough to bother me

That could make it shoot left, what range?
Disregard.

What distance to the target?

Not to sound arrogant, but it's not me. Trigger press is sound. Had a couple other competent shooters replicate the same result…centered rear sight impacts on the extreme left edge of a 10" plate

Everyone always says glocks are good to go straight out of the box, strange.

So how long did it sit out while CNN, MSNBC or the VIEW was on the boob tube, if not at your place, did you visit someone that had one of those on? Maybe used the Oregonian as a cleaning mat?

More likely YOU are shooting your Glock left, a common issue with right handed shooters. Try shooting it with your left hand or let someone else shoot it and see if they get the same results.

Then if that's actually the case drift the sight, I still have my doubts.

Oops, you're right, I'm bassackwards.

Glock shooting low and maybe a bit left after night sight installation

Front sight seems sliiiightly crooked, which if you google, is normal for Trijicon. But rather than put where I want my bullet to go right on top of the front sight, I have to put the front sight covering the point of impact I want, basically obscuring the bullseye. This was from 15 yards or...

Is shooting new to you altogether ? I did not see any mention of having past experience and well you joined just before the election .

Not new to shooting, have been punching paper and steel plates for 20+, get 3-5k rounds of practice a year

It typically is the trigger press mechanics when a Glock is shooting left or low-left.
Reason being, the shooter charges the final 30% of the striker spring with the trigger press.

Have you had another competent shooter, shoot it off of sandbags and got the same result ?

If yes, then you have to start looking at the locking block and/or barrel.
Can you borrow these parts from a friend ?
Send the pistol back to Glock if you're sure it's mechanical.

Thank you, will swap the locking block, barrel, and both next range trip and try and figure out what's what.

@CentraloregonJ My first handguns were a 1911 and Ruger Revolver. There was a big learning curve adjusting to Glocks. At least for me. With the Glock you can't get away with a bad grip, IME. But dry fire practice cured all that.

Anyway, hard to imagine anything is wrong with the gun. They are pretty much indestructible and 100% reliable.

Expensive way to troubleshoot one of the most reliable guns made.
