    Default New Glock owner

    I never thought I'd say this, but I bought a Glock. Gen4 Glock 19.

    Anyway, shot it for the first time on Sunday, and it shot a bit high and right at 10 yards. Are the sights on these normally off a little bit? I can shoot point of aim with my SAI 1911, but the Glock not so much. I tried different trigger presses, paid attention to follow through also. Even let a friend shoot it, and still shot high right. I'd say 2 inches high, and 3 inches right.

    Any suggestions?

    Practice. i've never had an issue with glock's POI

    The grip angle does throw single stack shooters off a bit.

    Practice what? Sight alignment was good, trigger press was good, only thing that helped was aiming left and low. I shoot left handed, my friend shoots right, same results.

    Plastic oem sights? What Ammo? A set of quality metal ones might put it where it needs to be

    Just kidding. Practice the fundamentals and you will sort it out. Plastic Glock sights do suck and I would recommend replacing them but shoot a couple of hundred rounds through the gun to get a feel for it and make adjustments from there.

    I was a high-left shooter until I got my fundamentals dialed in.

    I'm going to have to agree with others and say you just need to get some more trigger time.

    I'll give it some time before I rule anything out then. That training aid is hilarious, I'll have to save that.

    For me I've always noticed my sight picture is a little different on Glock more like the picture above, if you want to give that a try.
