How am I doing?

[Glock19user]

My new G19 is getting a pretty good workout. I have now shot about 600 rounds through it. I clean it after every range visit, not going past field-striping. I usually take my time at the indoor range, and go through 100 rounds per visit, in about a half hour, loading 5 rounds at a time into the magazine.

I am a right-handed shooter, typically use both hands when shooting, and I'am getting use to my original factory (plastic) sights.

The photo below is a close-up of the target after the last 40 rounds of the day were shot at a distance of 25 feet, starting with a clean target. I was shooting WWB (9mm Luger 115gr. FMJ).

My question is, how do you think I am doing? The consistancy seems to be a little left. I think I am "expecting" too much, and pushing the barrel down. I have been doing lots of dry-fire practice at home, which is helping, but I'm sure I am still getting use to Glock's unique trigger. I have taken GT's advice and kept all my other guns locked away for a while; ONLY shooting the G19 for now.

Certainly not any example of dead-on shooting, but I am not willing to make any adjustments on the gun itself until all (or most) of my shots end up in one place.

Thanks ahead of time for your input.

Looks real good to me. You certainly shouldn't be unpleased with those results. Just keep practicing, focus on the front sight and you'll continue to improve. ;)

Low and left is a common pattern, especially for new Glock shooters. Yours is a good group, but if you want to tighten it up, and center it more on the bullseye, there are ba-jillion postings here about how to correct a low-left grouping.

If you try all the suggestions, and still shoot low-left, you can always replace the 6.5mm rear with a 6.9mm to move the group up a bit (Glock says in their Professional Edition buyers guide, that the 6.9mm instead of the standard 6.5mm rear sight will raise the impact point approximately 1.97" at 27 yards), and then drift the rear sight to move the group to the right.

Keep shooting!
