    Agreed. I just don't know _what_ to practice.

    Are the sights different? Im guessing they are. I hate standard glock sights not a fan. Put on new sights. Other tjan that could just be your grip...lots of different factors though

    Different grip angle will throw you off.

    I'd say it's somewhat not fair comparing 5 inch full size guns vs a compact. (Sight radius is a huge deal.)

    Yes basic glock sites are kinda bleh, I've bought/issued all mine with Trijicon night sites which are much more usable.

    There's a discussion or two about this issue here

    Outside practice and Grip (being the bigger of the two) this cheat sheet is a start

    I switched to carrying a Glock as I figured it's finish was much more durable than what it currently carried. Anyhooo.... It took a while for me to get accustomed to shooting it with a fair degree of accuracy. I figured out it was the trigger that was throwing me off. Much of this occurred while dry firing. I just really practiced the trigger pull and watched what the sights did as the trigger broke. At this point, I feel I have worked out the bugs on my end and can shoot reasonable size groups at the point-of-aim. I am now contemplating replacing the factory sights with something capable of a little finer tuning.

    It's likely broken. Send it in for warranty repair.

    I bought a set of LPA sights for a hunting glock. Super happy with them. Even came with a tiny adjusting tool.

    Take the back straps off. It will be more in line with the 1911.
