I hate my Glock

I shoot tighter groups with my taurus 357 in single action then with my Glock. So I was looking to find answers if Glock's were inherently hard to shoot well.
But it seems I bad mouthed someone family member..
Some people really need to chill.
 
Classic..... I own a glock and I have **EDITED** NO problem with it. Either you get use to handling your Glock or you don't and blaming Glock is not going to help you improve. Yes, I do have others semi-auto handguns and I have no problem with them either.

Most people need to learn the fundamentals before they spout incorrect information about products. Its easy to blame the tool that can't speak for itself.

I'm sure you and others somehow believe(without evidence) that I'm worked up. I really don't care what ignorant people do with their money or time. I find it comical that the same complaints almost word for word come from so many people when it comes to their inability to shoot a glock. Naturally its the tool and never the user that is the cause. Everyone is "experienced" and "a good shot". If that were the case then these threads wouldn't exist now would they? What's more entertaining is people ask for advice and when they're told its them not the gun they get all butt hurt and defensive then act like they know what they're doing. Again, if they knew what they were doing we wouldn't be having these discussions.

Best advice in this thread.....By far!

I don't agree. He's as cuddly as a rabid porcupine but his advice on shooting is generally very good.

There aren't many people left here who still regularly post good advice...NAA, TDC, a few others but the list keeps shrinking...you may not like the delivery but the information is solid and not everyone is as supernaturally tolerant as NAA.

TDC's insane stubbornness and tenacity are probably the only things that keep him posting here. If you deleted the hostility, you'd probably lose the good information along with it.

Of course you have to know some things on your own before you can recognize the value of his comments.

Its entirely you that sucks. Learn to shoot, get some quality professional training and practice.

The vast majority of glock haters I've ever seen have no clue what trigger control is nor do they understand the fundamentals. The glock trigger or any da trigger for that matter do not cover up bad form like the sa trigger on say a 1911.
This bs about grip angle and texture, weight, shape, what month it was made etc etc is just bs excuses from people who have no idea what they're doing.

Very true. TDC is just straight up with the truth.

Glock is tricky to shoot well if you are experience shooter with other platform. The trigger degsin is consistent 5 lbs every time you pull which very different fron DA/SA Trigger. Get a help from other experience glock shooter and let them try you glock to see if it is a lemon. Don't give up the glock so easy and you will miss a lot of fun.
I have glock and CZ Canadian edition and now I shoot most of the match with my glock with better time and result. You just have no idea what glock can do.

Relax and shoot!
 
Not exactly a definitive picture but ok. I believe glocks run an 111' rake. I will confirm later. The issue with the glock grip isn't the angle, its the swell or contour near the bottom. Its an "s" shape as opposed to a straight backstrap like a 1911. The angle is a moot point and an excuse. Align the sights and move along.

Here's why...

I picked up a Glock 22 RTF Gen 3 about a little over a month ago. I've fired approx 500 round through it in that time. And I have that worst grouping with this gun... At 7 meters I have at best 7" to 8" grouping with it, With my CZ SP-01 Shadow I'm in the 2" to max 3" range. I even have tighter grouping with my Norinco 45 then with the Glock.
I've tried changing the way I grip it, different ammo and the results always seem to be about the same. Up, down, left, right...

So I'm thinking it's the trigger pull or the ergo's of the gun just doesn't fit my hand ???

I don't have small hands (mechanic gloves I wear a large and they fit snug)

So I'm open for suggestions because if things don't improve, it's off the my local gun store as a trade in...

I asked what the the problem could be.
A simple answer would have been, it's a striker fired gun and I would need more trigger time with it to get use to the trigger pull.
I'm assuming most people on this forum are just out to have fun with their firearms. I don't carry one for a living so I don't see the need for professional training.

I'm on this forum because I know there are shooter here with years more experience then me, and I come here looking for guidance but holy crap some people have bad attitudes.

I have 5 hand guns, 4 of which I shoot well, some better then others but that I assume is due to quality. (I shot my CZ better then my Norinco for example)
So when I purchase what I think is a good quality gun (equal to my CZ) and I shoot it like a blind monkey, yea I am going to question what's going on.

TDC does know what he's talking about and I agree with him.

However, he knows very little about how to share his knowledge!
 
Why can't I play my Les Paul?

I noodled around for a few hours. I found I couldn't make notes nearly as well as on the Yamaha classical I bought last year. The strings are really hard and the neck is really thick but the strings are a lot closer together than on my classical.

I've never taken any lessons, because I just want to play for fun. I'm thinking I might trade in the Les Paul because it plays so badly.


TAKE SOME DAMN LESSONS
 
This is why I like gen4 Glocks better, the grip doesn't have that curve and feels MUCH better in my hand. But last time I took my G17 out I was surprised how bad I was, (haven't been shooing as much lately :/) but I know the gun shoots well if I do my part and practice with it.

Hitzy, if you see a PPQ on the line ask buddy if you can try it!

X2 just got a PPQ. First two shots I took with it the holes were touching at 15m. I was so shocked I almost dropped it. Lol. Jk. It's crazy accurate. Ergos are perfect. Mag release is really easy to use.
I'm not a fan of the glock grip(big hands) so I went with PPQ. Very pleased so far.

Op if you give up on the glock and still want a polymer pistol get the PPQ!
 
You hate your Glock? Not a biggie,I hate em all... This is not about how it was engineered,but the damn thing looks as appealing as a flight recorder. Hehe,and now,
I'M RUNNING FOR MY FLAME SUIT !

You do come across as a big turd who is proud of it. Way to go.

Perhaps you should be trying to come across as someone who is helpful? You are dead wrong about the angle issue. Do you own a 1911 platform or perhaps an M&P, CZ? Have you gripped your Glock and one of these guns at the same time? What did you find out? I really want to know.

I agree that training is key. I agree that the fundamentals work on all firearms regardless of construction and geometry.

My experience is that I shoot high with my Glock but the groups are just as tight as with my other pistols. I know what I have to do to sort this out because I have had training. Wow, I guess I should be brow beating other members and acting like a giant arse because I've taken courses.

Or not.

Why not tell us about all of your fantastic courses TDC. Perhaps even show us a participant award? My point? Be helpful. Lose your BS attitude shooter. You'll be a better human being for it.
