I think my Glock needs the sights adjusted

[JStump]

Went to the range with The Azn and these were my results with my G26 and XD45. The top right is the only one I shot with the G26 since I was letting Tim try it, but I damn near missed the black part entirely! The bottom left was with the XD45 from the same distance and I was thoroughly impressed! My first time shooting it and it was pretty much entirely in the center the entire time and had a lot less kick than I thought a .45 would. I would say the top right and bottom left were about 20', the bottom right was about 30', and the top left was me seeing how far I could push the target out before my accuracy went down so from 20' to probably 40' or so.

It would make sense that the 45 would be more accurate with the longer barrel for both my eye and the bullet to aim down, but the Glock does need sighted. And since I am going to get it sighted I might as well get some nicer and easier to use sights. What would be a good set to go with?

And this was just because I hit the bullseye on the first try with the XD and was shocked since it was my first time shooting it. That pretty much made me stop debating about trading it in haha!

I've never shot a Glock but still wouldn't trade my XDM for one. Mine did well its first outing as well, but I failed to snap pics

We can all meet up and shoot one day and you can try my G26. If you're really lucky, you can fire my Sig 229

On the glock trigger do you pull the trigger with the middle of the pad on your fingertip.

If not what is the placement? Does it differ from the XD?

2nd guess. The glock has a wonky grip angle for some and needs a bit of practice to present proper sight alignment.

I have somewhat long fingers so on the Glock I use right between the first and second digit, on the XD I use the middle of the second digit.

Where do you line up the sight on a Glock? I put the front dot right down in the middle of the back sight so its flush with the top of the box, I have always been taught to shoot like that, but raising it up so the dot is half in the box, half out helps. I always revert back to the first way though just out of habit and screw myself up.

Yup......truth hurts the Glock fans too much, sure love the M&P as well. Fuck Glocks!!!!!!!!!

[JStump]

Hey now, lets not get carried away, to be fair we would need to compare it with a G19 or something.

I'll bet the sights are ok. See what kind of groups you get from a rested firing position before you adjust the sights.

[swingset]

Sights should be tested and adjusted off of a rest, unless you're a Bianchi cup shooter....same goes with comparing two guns.

Have to factor out this...

Glocks shoot better from the middle of the top part of your finger... Half way between end of nail and first knuckle.

Typical of a glock.

[speedytriple]

Glock superiority? LOL!

[ScubaCinci]

Screw you guys, I like my glock

[C-bus]

Remember... Just the tip.

I got good groupings shooting the G26. I was impressed.
