Hey all. I am somewhat of a novice shot with a handgun and do much better with a rifle. I shoot a p64 radom with one hell of a DA pull pretty accurately, but for some reason my glock 19 (with NY1 spring) has almost always shot left slightly. I blamed technique. I got trijicons installed by the local gun counter guy the other day and when I got home it looked like the rear sight was not centered in the slide perfectly. I took it shooting today and it shot left pretty bad, an inch or two at 21 feet out, but up and down was right on. I was in my truck so I had some tools and I drifted the rear sight to the exact center, which was moving it to the LEFT. So then my shots were way off to the left. I drifted them back and over a bit to the right of center and my shots were more grouped to the center of the target, almost at POA.
Is this normal, or am I a lousy glock shot? If the rear sight is supposed to be centered in the slide and it shoots left could this be all my fault? I don't want to train myself to be a poor shot by just drifting the sight aside to make up for my poor form. Or could it be legit, that it just needs to be there because it happens some times? I don't really have anyone else who is a decent shot to shoot it, either. I guess I could try at the range one day and ask someone to try it out. I just keep thinking the damn sight should be centered in the slide.
I was shooting two handed, leaning over the hood of my truck, fully relaxed and supported on the hood to make it as steady as possible.
Please offer some advice, - thanks!
