I don't believe your groupings to be frank.
I find a Glock more challenging to shoot but it makes me shoot other platforms easier and better (1911)
You can get away with poorer fundamentals on a LB but not a Glock or Sig DA
Glock redemption....

The problem is 100% you end of discussion. Your 1911 is THE BEST platform for hiding poor form. A Glock will not hide bad form, it exposes it and throws it in your face. Learn to shoot, then decide what you want for a pistol.
**RANT ALERT***
This thread topic is hashed out at least once a week and it simply baffles me as to why people are so f**king clueless even after being told by many that the problem is THE SHOOTER. Below is a list of some stuff everyone should know, if you don't, you need to read about it then seek training to understand it and see it in practice.
Leading thumbs or thumbs forward grip
Trigger finger placement
Trigger control
Follow through
Working the reset
Sight alignment
Sight picture
If you don't know the definitions to the above and cannot demonstrate the concepts, your fundamentals suck, seek training. Here are some facts that many need to accept.
Most firearms(rifle and pistol) are more accurate than 99% of the people that use them.
FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE SAME FOR ALL FIREARMS AND ARE TRANSFERRABLE. IF YOU CAN'T SHOOT BRAND X BUT "CAN" SHOOT BRAND Y ITS YOU!!! NOT THE GUN
Consistent shot placement known as MARKSMANSHIP, is a LEARNED skill and a PERISHABLE skill. Lack of practice means your skill level will degrade.
YOU ARE NOT A NATURAL BORN SHOOTER, LOVER, OR DRIVER. SEEK TRAINING!
Sight radius is a gimmick. The difference a 1/2" 3/4" or 2" of additional radius makes is indistinguishable to the human eye. Here's another news flash. Your sights are always properly aligned. It is how you see those aligned sights and how you see those sights in contrast to your target that changes. The sights themselves are bolted on and always properly aligned with themselves and the barrel.
Same story for velocity and extended barrels. I have chrono'd a stock G26 with the 3.42" barrel and a stock G17 with the 4.49" barrel. The velocity difference was 30fps, not enough to even care. A G34 or a G17L is not gonna gain you enough velocity to make a difference in any discipline, and definitely won't do anything for ones lack of fundamentals..
TDC
Tried many ammo, the platform is just not user friendly for me at least, like TDC said ( it sounded more like loud talking) i must be the problem, my HK, Sig, 29, LB, 627, DE 44 mag i all shoot good, Glock no, but it could change with the Longslide, hopefully... JP.
I have a strong suspicion that you are shooting all the listed guns in single action and therein lies the "problem"
Learn to shoot a Glock or DA revolver and you can shoot anything well..
Have a 21 sf, didn't expect much of it, accuracy wise...., got my finger right into my eye... this gun shoots like a laser. Really impressed by it performance, I'm an HK guy and have to say that I'm still stunned buy its accuracy. Dry firing really helps!!!

LOLLL...JP....i knew you would give it a go in another form.
the G17L is a true and dedicated '''limited 10''' gun. MARK has one that i occasionnaly coach newcomers with. sure,the longer radius may be of some help and with the longer barrel-slide muzzle flip is less noticeable since there's more weight on the front,a quite different balance than the stock 17-22 .
however it is still a glock, but with the spring kit and a connector, it is a very sweet and flatter shooter . get a set of LPA SPR or meprolight adjustable, and i bet you'll love it.

no.not different of the G34 which gets the same spring-connector set up than the 17L . the comp spring kit and V4 connector makes the stock 17L trigger much more smoother than in stock form .
and i'm a bit envious here....i jiggled with the idea of a 17L for quite a long time,then someone had a deal on another 17 3rd gen i couldn't pass on LOLOLLLLLLL .
now, i suspect that when i'll get a session on yours, i will sell my BNI G22 3rd gen in od green for a 17L......oh well...!!!

in fact the first back stop is at 15 yards,and the one you use all the time (and destroy loll) is 25 yards.

and the side by side 12 gauge shorty makes some nice holes through the upper buffer too
that 17L....i'd make a super limited 10 with trust me.....brass magwell,brass basepads,tungsten rod, adjustable trigger,adjustable sights ...and of course a cerakote job !!
grrrrr,i think i'm at it again ; now that you beat me to it, i feel it'll be some kind of '''motor to the wire'' for me and the 17L . wolverine has csome 17L instock right now.
