Since getting my new Glock a month or so ago, I've been looking forward to shooting it at 25 yards with a rest to see what kind of accuracy it is capable of. My criteria for a carry pistol is 2" or better at 25 yards. All of my other Glocks and my P365 will do it. The Gen 5 G23 couldn't.
Tried different loads and factory WWB and was completely disappointed in the results.
Worst group was one of the worst I have ever shot with any pistol. 7 1/4" 5-shot group at 25 yards using 200gr Speer Gold Dots and Ramshot Silhouette powder.
Best group was with Hornady XTPs in 180gr using 6.2gr of Ramshot Silhouette. Got 3 1/18".
Now, if the 3" group was my worst group, then I'd be happy. But the rest of the groups were around 4.5" and 5.5".
Typically, my Glocks will do 2" or better, with a couple capable of 1". Just really, really disappointed in the performance. I'll work up some more loads and see if I can't get the groups to shrink. If not, then I'll probably sell the pistol, since inaccurate firearms are offensive to me.
This is what I was hoping for...
