. Your dominant eye never leaves the front sight. Sandbag your pistol, sitting, from 10 yards for a baseline. Then go out to 25yds and see what happens. Also too, CENTER of your finger goes on the CENTER of the trigger and comes straight back. Not only in your sight picture, you'd be amazed at how your finger placement on the trigger can affect your shot placement down range.
Don’t preach at me for being a red dot bitch when I’m talking about wanting to keep my irons. That said I agree with everything you stated
Thanks for being the only one to assume I acually know what I’m doing
What do you mean I don’t have a g45, it’s a Glock model number 45, the 19x without the stupid 19x magwell. Yk the 19 length barrel and slide on a 17 frame?
spray paint. I get a little too excited sometimes when I pretend to be a gunsmith. I won't preach. But, I will most certainly bust your balls as brutally as I possibly can. Particularly if we were in a match squad together, and you couldn't hit shit with a red dot.
If not in a problem solving workset, you would be COMPLETELY roasted at the range with a red dot mounted and no hits on target though, FYI.
Shot just fine. Not super great groups but like I said my shooting isn’t good. I was able to hit what I wanted typically.
Only issue is the new barrel is ported for the aftermarket slide. I just wanted a ported barrel for fun otherwise I would’ve left the gun alone. Probably gonna try just the factory barrel in the aftermarket slide and see how it goes.
I’m wondering if there may be some major trigger jerking/flinching involved because the ports startle him
I have a 365 legion that I can shoot fine and a Springfield 1911a1 ported that I can also shoot just fine. I don’t feel any difference in blast to the face and other more experienced shooters get the same results with my Glock.
Don’t forget to polish the face of the hammer, I’d hate to leave ugly marks on the sight.
Yes but I have never shot paper with it. Usually find either steel or some trash, typically cigarette boxes (it’s what I find on the range usually) set them up at 20 yards and shoot them until they disappear or roll into the grass at 25 yards. Done this from various positions usually freehand. Sometimes resting on a bare bench or sandbag sometimes. I feel the poi is consistent.
seriously though, pistol sights have to be stupidly off to make a difference due to them being so close to each other. A 4” sight radius is very short and therefore requires major differences to make a difference. So as @Makinchips208 said it would be about 1/4” height difference. If anything from your pic it looks like the rear sight is taller than the front.
It doesn't appear to be a mis-match of sight height. Something with the barrel or slide being out of spec would be the logical suspect. As suggested above try swapping the parts around to see if it can be isolated given the factory parts shot well.
For what it’s worth, I sent a Glock 23 in for repair for a cracked slide. It cracked along the guide rail at the rear of the slide. Glock rebuilt the innards and built a brand new upper for it. So essentially brand new pistol for free. The cheap plastic Glock sights seemed funny. The front sight wasn’t level across the top and seemed too tall. Not a huge amount but my ocd couldn’t take it. A bastard file did the work for me and I filed it down flat so it was more aesthetic. Definitely improved my groups…
Plus shit like this is what you get for fucking with Glock Perfection.
If you're filing your front sight down, there's only one real question worth asking, did you get that 8th of a second drop on good Sheriff Brady?
But that doesn't fix the gun if the shooter can't hit the target proper. Some just can't even tie their shoes properly.
