I'm not sure if this is a personal revolution or what. I thought I had progressed to a certain level of handgun proficiency and somewhere around the end of October the wheels fell off. I didn't make any conscious changes to what I was doing, but my performance fell off badly. Of course I blamed the gun. I did all manner of testing to validate that it was the gun's fault and not mine (some of which resulted in eating crow) , and ended up here:
I reached out to my friend @Kevin B. for some 1911 advice and his advice was esentially, "don't do it." There was much more to it and a lot of food for thought, which ended up with me re-centering the rear sights on my Gen 4 Glock 17's and doing a bunch of dry work messing with my grip and trigger finger placement. I also re-watched and re-read a bunch of @Surf 's material on the subject. I went to the range today and began working my new-found "Interface" with good results as far as groups were concerned:
2 different iterations of "10 Perfect Presses" @ 7yds Freestyle:
String #1 (10 rounds)
String #2 (10 rounds)
Then a B8 @ 25 Freestyle:
Seeing the vertical stringing, I decided to try a 1.5" orange dot for a finer POA:
But even so:
I even shot 10 EA SHO and WHO to try and see if there is consistent lateral bias (IE> Right-handed always hits left, Left-handed always hits right). I'm not sure if my one-handed shooting is good enough to really tell anything, but here are the pics anyway (layered in the following manner: Freestyle, SHO, WHO)

SHO:
WHO:
So is there any input about how to crack the interface code and get myself to shoot centered with centered rear sights?
