I recently purchased a new Gen 3
Glock 20 SF. I literally picked it up on a Friday night and qualified 19/20 for a ccw renewal Saturday morning. First time out for adding it to my ccw I shot 20 rounds through it and shot pretty good in my opinion. First round went a little wonky. I expected that new clean gun etc.
Before I shot it I had some parts on order. Glock store Spring kit, polished Tin coated safety plunger and spring etc. Those parts were installed before ever shooting this new pistol. I went and did my shooting thing the following morning for a 19/20 score and felt like this thing was sweet.
I loaded 2 work up tests for my hand loads and hit the range the following weekend. Both loads were Hornady 180gr XTP projectiles. The only difference was titegroup powder vs power pistol. Factory ammo I purchased and used to qualify was also 180gr cheap stuff. I proceeded to shoot my power pistol work up from factory published load data and felt like I was having a bad day. No groups at all random shot gun pattern like results. Moved to the titegroup load and same thing. Couldn't hit my target at 7 yards. I loaded a mag full of factory ammo that I had used the weekend before with great results and sprayed a mess that didn't group.
Fast forward to today took a friend to the range that is much better than me and is an competitive shooter that does very well. I opened the box loaded a mag and handed him the pistol. He was better than me but couldn't get a group. I tried and did worse and let him try again and he managed to hit the paper.
I'm seriously looking for what would cause the accuracy to fall off that bad that Fast. 20 rounds great then another 30 next week and couldn't tell where I was hitting. I would appreciate any good serious advice.
I did check the slide for any cracks or damage today. I can't see anything wrong or explain what happened.
