Help Glock 19 shooting left. - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Adjusted the front sight, still shoots left. Wondering if I can drift the rear sight.
At this point I don't know if it's the gun, the sights, or me. I'm dead on with the sig and the m&p.

sorry man, it's giberish to me....bump any how.

put the front back to centre and drift the rear. It that doesn't help, adjust the front the opposite way. If that doesn't work, have someone else shoot it. I had troubles with shooting a Glock because the grip was uncomfortable to me and I had to learn to adapt. The funny part is, I'm dead on with my P08 Lugers, about the same grip angle but the Luger 'feels' better to me....go figure...

I may be wrong but is not the front sight on all Glock's a post and nut/screw arrangement, thus not adjustable. The rear can be drifted to move the POA toward your POI.

aim to the right

Have someone else shoot it as a check.

When I get a new gun, I usually group differently because the grips are different, then I get used to it.

I've had plenty of people complain about their sights being off and when I shoot the gun it's dead-on. Years ago it was me w/ the sights off.

Have someone else shoot it! I still can't shoot my 17 very well, even after 10 yrs-I don't practice! with my 19 I was dead on til I sold it. Whenever I have aiming issues, i either put it down for a while or go back to the last gun I shot well with and check myself. Usually with this I can get a grip on my problem.
I second what was previously said about drift the rear since my 19 was a stationary front.

only way to fix it is to take it to the gunshop walk into the bathroom and flush it down the toilet....... then go shoot the xd that you bought after "the flushing"

Yup that won't do you any good. My buddy has a boatload of Glock's I've just never been fond of them. Try changing your grip a bit if your right handed left usually means your pushing sideways on the trigger. If not try drifting the rear sight to the right.
