    Glock has a 2 stage trigger pull. Separate the 2 stages and focus on maintaining the sight picture as it fires. Prep and press, prep and press, prep and press.

    Not to discount all the good advice you have gotten so far, but it is actually a possibility there is something wrong with the Glock. Have you tried a different one? To see if you get the same results? Or had a good Glock shooter try yours?

    It happens, I don't get along with Glocks or the XD, my wife shoots a Glock really good. I shoot a S&W revolver better than my 1911 but I shoot the 1911 better than a Glock. I carry the 1911 with a J-frame for backup.

    Not that he would be doing this - you are shooting jacketed ammo thru the Glock, right?

    Lots more good stuff. I took the backstrap off, feels better, meant to get to range, did not happen. Tomorrow, maybe.

    I bRought four 1911s with me. Not bought. Not sure if I typoed or what.

    I'll post back with the results of the backstrap change. It does feel better, I think.

    Bullets are jacketed. 99% were Hornady hollow points, a few Sierra. I don't use cast lead at all. I'm hesitant to run my Xtreme bullets in it, my 1911s don't care, and the Internet suggests they'd be fine in the Glock, but. ....hmm.

    I'm not generally a fan of striker fired, but I do REALLY like my czs. We'll see. I'm not likely to buy another striker gun. I don't like them, as a rule.

    I should have a known-quantity glock person shoot it, but I really don't think it is the gun. I suppose that's possible, I should eliminate that variable, but. ..hmm.

    Thanks again!

    Are you riding the trigger and feeling the reset between shots?

    Never an issue with xtreme's in any caliber or firearm. Mostly tupperware around the homestead.

    Trigger/reset - yes. Very deliberate.

    GK - thanks for the confirmation on the Xtreme bullets! I figured they'd be ok, but the Glock is new to me/just want to be sure/wanted to eliminate bad ammo as best I could. I intentionally ran only factory rounds, or my "thought to be good" handloads in the Glock, stuffed whatever I could fund into the 1911s. I've honestly never really had accuracy issues that I feel like I can blame the ammo for, my handloads are at least ok, and frankly, I don't feel as though I'm consistent enough to distinguish between me and the ammo.

    Thanks!
