After resisting the temptation to buy a Glock for more than 30 years, I caved in and bought a G19 3rd gen a month or so ago.
Believe it or not the impetus was not the pistol, rather I was intrigued by the NCStart VISM folding red Dot. And since Glock is one of the few guns that has slides designed to take a recessed optic, I bought the gun, then promptly bought an aftermarket slide with the RMR cut.
The aftermarket slide is made by , with the cut and the side cut windows. It looks really well made, and it has a nice DLC finish. I also bought a set of gen Glock internals to finish it. this way I can switch between the original and this by just transferring the barrel and spring.

So this past weekend I took it to the range, and after having some issues with the optic, I put back the original slide and tried to use it with the iron sights.
I really can't shoot this thing. I'm sure that it not the gun, it the gunner, but I've never been this bad. First of all, it shoots low left. I know that means I'm jerking the trigger, but I don't think I am, I was being very conscious about it and trying to gently squeeze it. Also when I mean it shoot low and left, it's like 6" left and 6" low at 15 yards. Since there's no adjustment with these sights (other than windage), I was doing some Kentucky windage adjustments and aiming at the upper right hand of the target. Even then, only about 1/2 of my shots were grouping, the rest were all over the place.
So the question:
Is there some special grip, or technique that Glock shooters use to get some accuracy with these things?
