Good morning...! And first of, Happy Thanksgiving...!!! (hope you're having a nice warm time in spite of the cold downpour outside - here in Southern California)
That said, as per the title, am a little frustrated with my marksmanship with the Glock.
... Though I have other pistols, I am mostly a Glock shooter. All my practice (live and dry) are with my Glock, in particular, my match G34.3 (as of date, I have three G34.3s and one NIB G34.5 MOS).
In spite of that - when it comes to group shooting, ie., 15-, 20- and 25-yards, I cannot seem to get the same performance (tight groups, close to the X, etc.) as my other pistols.
Albeit, I have been able to hit steel silhouettes 240-yards out, standing freestyle at a 60% accuracy in ITTS' classes with my Glocks.
I don't even have to my try with my HK USP Expert 45, Walther Q5 Match (Polymer) and my CZ Shadow 2, which are all stock. Nice and tight (around 4-inches) and precise groupings at 25-yards. For example, here is a recent 15-shot group at 25-yards for the USP (a pistol that I have NOT shot in a YEAR!)... The painful part? I wasn't even trying!
And here are my 25-yard groups with my match Glock 34.3 just last night. And I really had to concentrate on the fundamentals (sight picture/alignment and the trigger pull).
Is it my fundamentals? I use a MantisX both in my dry fire and in live fire to detect 'movement,' etc. before and after the shot. In both situations, I consistently score 94+ - which, means minimal variations in my hold, especially when I pull the trigger and maintaining follow-through. Even during a few FTF (I guess I need to replace that spring) - there was no "umph" dropping the gun. And I am still not getting anywhere...
Is it the trigger? Obviously the USP, Q5 and the CZS2 have better triggers than even most tuned Glocks; but the time I have invested in the Glock is significantly way more than the other pistols. Surprisingly, my MantisX scores are higher and more consistent when I am using a heavier stock trigger as opposed to my match G34.3 lightened trigger (ie., polished parts with a lighter striker and striker spring).
Is it the range? The indoor place that I shoot in has poor lighting. Depending on which lane I get it is hard to get a contrast between the sights and the target (hence, I either use a RED or BLACK Shoot-N-C).
Is it my eyesight? I haven't had to wear glasses nor contacts until recently - just reading glasses (I have no problems seeing far, but, have been having difficulties up closer). At a closer range of 20-yards, here was my grouping last night (I shot this before my 25-yarders):
to the fact that with the red dot installed on my Q5 - I can achieve 3-inch groups at 20-yards at afaster rate of fire.
Ammunition? I don't reload - these are ALL factory. The USP had Freedom Munitions 200GR RN (new) while all my 9s are Fiocchi 115GR.
I also tried the "brain based diagnostic" chart
https://dryfiretrainingcards.com/blo...atter-targets/
but came out without any new insight, etc.
Any thoughts/ideas? Tips for diagnosis? Drills and/or training?
I really like the Glock and want to get better with it...!!! So any insights, etc. will be most appreciated... Thanks in advanced!
