I have been a very happy Glock owner for over a decade now. I have owned oh probably 8-10 different models and liked every one of them, with one exception. The G36 was not my bag. Didn't like it. Should have gone with my gut instinct and went for the G30 at the time. Oh well. But every other glock I have ever owned has been boringly reliable and shot more or less the way I needed it to, although somewhere around the 5K round mark on my 17 & 19 the brass on 124gr cartridges started to intermittently smash me straight in the face, changed the ammo and avoid the 124 FMJ's and all seems well now.
At the beginning I had a strong tendency to shoot a lil high and way left. I had to change the way I held the gun and it took me a while to overcome. I still can't shoot my G17 with good, repeatable accuracy but my 19 and 43 are my go to glocks and I can print good groups, even with rapid fire I can put em where I want em.
Then comes the G44, I had heard horrible reports on this gun, that it wasn't an accurate gun, very ammo picky, just generally finicky and to be avoided. I decided to roll the dice on it and so far it has been utterly reliable with every type of ammo, 36gr, 38gr, 40gr, etc... cheap, expensive, doesn't matter, this gun cycles everything but I just can't get it to print a decent group. Even when I start very close in. 15ft or so, it just shoots all over the place. Even when I'm shooting premium stuff. I went through 100rds of CCI MM's and it just wouldn't produce a nice group for love or money.
Anybody else have this problem? I'm ready to scrap this G44 and write it off... I wanted to like it, I actually do but has anybody had any luck with a pair of good aftermarket sights, triji's or some other? I'd like to keep this gun I just don't enjoy a gun that prints like buckshot @ 50yards when I'm standing 15ft away....
