Progress

[SC_Dave]

This is nothing to brag about but it's good for ME. This shows me movement in the right direction. This is nothing for most here but for me it was progress.

Both were 5 in 10 at 10yds. Not fast but better than I have been doing.

Any critique or advise it welcomed.

Those are good hits. Keep working on that trigger control. Looks like you might have a slightly left bias in your shooting, but nothing horrible. Keep up the good work.

I have noticed a left bias in my other targets. I don't know if it's grip or trigger press, I'm trying to figure it out.

Glock?

Glock?

ETA:I'll just assume yes, so here you go. The thread linked below, "Left Shooting Glock" has answers as well as additional links to other threads with more information.

ETA2: Well, looks like I quoted myself instead of editing. Guess it's time for bed.

You assumed correctly. Thanks a lot, I'll check it out.

Glocks can be tricky, but not impossible. Read through that thread and keep at it.

Their is a lot of information and ideas in that thread. I'm going back to read it again in a little while. I read the entire thread and the links from that thread. Seems as though their are a lot of theories as to why G's shoot left but no one absolute answer. From what I gathered some are just moving the rear right and calling it a day. I don't have a problem with adjusting my RMR to shoot POA/POI but I don't want to do that as a crutch. If I know it's not me (the software) and it's absolutely the pistol (the hardware) then I'll adjust the RMR in a split second.

Some have found using more trigger finger, inserting to distal joint, has helped overcome the tendency of shooting left with glocks. That said, I don't think it's something very many people completely solve. Watching demo videos from guys like Kyle Defoor, when they're shooting drills with Glocks and then show the target results, their shots seem to slightly favor left most of the time.

Examples, just FF to the end...

So I'm adding this video in response to what I have watched in videos and read about concerning eliminating shooting left by putting more finger on the trigger. Apparently it's something I can't do.

That's because there isn't one absolute answer. A very small percentage of Glocks will shoot left mechanically, those ones require sight drift. Other causes, and most likely, are shooter induced. Everyone has different sized hands and fingers. YOU have to figure out how YOU can press the trigger without disturbing the sights. There's lots of ways one can disturb the sights.

When shooting glocks, I aggressively push in the frame with my support hand thumb. That helps me get a really good and strong grip on the gun and gets rid of my left hand bias.

Do you find this correction consistent? I find it pretty hard to calibrate this sort of grip. Couple of things I've noticed about my Glock grip; I need to grip harder than on my SIGs for same results, and I am more consistent when most of my grip pressure is front to back. Obviously, this is very individualistic, results will vary, and performance is all that matters.

I grip as hard as I can into the frame which I think makes it as consistent as I possibly can. I do find that it helps because it not only masks any trigger mistakes I make but also keeps the gun locked down solid. I recall Todd discussing his grip with the guy from Ballistic radio. It was after Todd had the work down on his arm and they were discussing why Todd didn't use his non-surgery arm (his left arm) as his strong hand moving forward. Todd said something that only clicked with a little bit ago, his support hand is the most important part of his grip and he said that he would hammer into that side of the gun. Since doing that my shooting, with not only glock, has improved vastly. I know some like more of a neutral grip but that has never worked for me.
