I am having a little trouble getting my head around this, bare with me, please.
So I go to the range with my new G17. It only has a few hundred rounds through
it, but I have had to move the rear sight almost all the way to the right side of the
slide to get a zero.
So: With the rear sight almost all the way to the edge of the dovetail.
Shooting right handed, left support hand, right eye. The gun shoots about one inch left at ten yards.
Shooting left handed, right hand support, left eye. The gun shoots about one inch right at ten yards.
Shooting right handed unsupported, right eye. The gun shoots about three inches left.
Shooting left handed unsupported, left eye. The gun shoots about three inches right.
What I am having trouble getting my head around is that the gun seems to shoot pretty neutral
using the sights. When I look at the slide it seems strange because its pointing to the right. Yes I
know I am pushing the gun when I shoot but it seems very even side to side. I like the gun, It just
seems weird to have the sights that far over. The sights on my other Glocks are a little over but
this one is way over.
You would think that when I shoot leftie that the gun would shoot way right but it doesn't
Any thoughts or ideas? Constructive or otherwise.
