I can't shoot my glock for ####....

Not totally convinced that the AA kit would actually make your shooting worse...

But things to note.

The weight of your Glock is totally different with the kit. that's a minus.

Managing recoil is something you can't learn with a .22
But I feel it is separate skill from proper sight picture and trigger control.
And I think the OP was not specifically saying his action shooting with a Glock was a problem.

You could probably master recoil if you spent $500 on ammo. :p

In a nutshell the kit is for fun. And has some practical use as a training aid as in "a step above dry firing" (Which is what you need to do with a Glock to sort out for yourself how to pull that mushy trigger without disturbing the sight picture)


How's it going BTW?
 
I've found from dry firing that the biggest thing I do, having big hands, is that I put my trigger finger into the trigger way too far by instinct. It takes actually thinking about only putting the center of the finger tip instead of the meat on the intermediate phalanges (second portion of bone beyond the tip of the finger). When I had it on the intermediate phalange and squeezed the trigger, the shot went WAY off target, but to this day it takes practice to not do that by instinct.
 
I actually find with my smaller hands that I was putting too little finger on the trigger. I just got back from the range (doing the Dot-torture drill). I noticed that I was considerably smoother squeezing the trigger with a little more meat on it.

Think so Red? I disagree about the idea of precluding recoil management techniques with the .22, I think the mighty .22 is the best way to start new shooters! Not to contradict you...but it worked well for me.

If it were me having problems with the gun the first thing I would do is grab one of the snipers here - and make him shoot it. If he was having problems with the gun, I would do the same again with another shooter with a reputation for marksmanship. If HE has problems - then you know the problem is probably in the gun. If they are grouping well, then you are the problem and that is good news because all that means is more range time!

I usually get it with the younger kids with the big magnums. They bring me their 44's demanding to know what the problem is with it and once I fire it and they see what their guns can actually do, they're all smiles.

Don't be impatient. Buy a reloader. Shoot, have fun, and give yourself time to learn and don't get down on yourself for the odd bad day. Alot of these snipers here have spent years shooting and learning and once they get good at it, they make the sport look much easier than it actually is.

I personally have never liked Glocks. I used to look down my nose at them until this fella at the range opened up with one on the 100m gong. He was chambered for that new fangled 45 GAP - and my first thought was 'Good luck, Bozo...'.But I'll be damned if that fella didn't start ringing that gong like clockwork. When he missed, he didn't miss by much! It was just a plain Jane chit house Glock too, with no mods at all, and it turned out I was full of beans as far as those guns were concerned.

I ate my crow that day with just a little bit of salt!
 
The problem he is having doesnt seem to have anything to do with recoil from my experience.(limited) I have a Glock and a 1911 and with the 1911 I can shoot very well out to 50 feet, say 4 inches. Now with the Glock these groups open up a bit and most of my groups even at closer distances tend to drift left. At close ranges the same thing happens but not as pronounced. It is all in the trigger, and it simply takes time. I have gotten considerably better by not shooting my 1911 before the glock. If I shoot the 1911 first my groups with the Glock are worse.
