Hi guys, need your help/suggestion on this issue.

Since I could never get used to the the default sight on my G22 Gen 4 which was a 6 o'clock sight way down, I bought the truglo fiber optic sights, put them on and centered the sights with caliper.(the default white dot sights were centered before)

Then today when I was at the range, the 6 o'clock issue was gone and it becomes the "normal" sight picture that is on all my other guns. However, new issue is that I constantly shot to the left(not left down, just left). I grip and trigger control seem fine because once I placed my front sight to the right between the rear sights, I get dead center shots @ 12 meters no issues.

so, is it still my grip, or too little trigger finger caused issue, or the sights do require the rear to be knocked off center to the right?

Thanks.
 
have a couple other well-seasoned shooters try your gun. if they are shooting accurately then its you. if they are consistently hitting left like you are then you need to push the rear sight a little to the right.
 
will try. it's pretty quiet @ my club lately, probably due to the summer vacation period.
that said, at this distance, I don't have this issue with any other gun. even today I brought MP40 with 40 barrel, and G22 with 9mm and 40 barrel. only G22(both barrels) has the issue, MP40 was fine. So.... I guess I will confirm in a week.
 
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. finally mystery solved, by myself. It was ME afer all. :p:p:p

Today when I was at range, I thought since the shots all went to left, if it's because of me, it should be the standard newbie issue with too little trigger finger. However, for whatever reasons, I have to grip extra hard to get some extra trigger grip, but once I got it. the shots was all spot on at 12.5 meters! the first 20 was like the picture below. Then the rest of 80 are all the same grouping. so, I thought I lost my grip force after my vacation. Guess what I found after I was back home and cleaning my gun? I put the large grip on my G22!!!
I must have put it on and forgot to put the M size back on when I was comparing it with my MP40 which has the large size grip. well, guess due to the grip shape or something else, the large size grip on MP40 is not equal large size on G22. that's why I have to use M size on G22, and no strip at all on my G41. Man, talking about newbie mistakes. :)

Well, at least now I know on this G22, all the new components, Trueglo fibre optical sights, Lone Wolf 9mm barrel and all the Magpul 9mm PMAGs are all working flawlessly. Another "new" great gun in my collection. :)
