Re: Glock Accuracy
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Munson</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The Glock 21 is an accurate platform, as are all glocks...as are most all modern firearms. The 21, I feel is one of the more accurate models, but that is simply based on MY experience with MY 21. I shoot the majority of my rounds through my 19, which is also my 95% daily carry. But its also the model that shoots the least accurate of the bunch. I shoot my 17, 21, 23, and even the 26 much more accurately. I have all of them set up identical, with the same ameriglo sights, same 3.5 trigger, same NY spring, same magazine release extention, and same large slide release. But the accuracy on the 19 is the worst. Now thats not to say that its not an accurate pistol. I can still drill 1/2" squares with it out to about 10 yds, but I can get out to about 15 yds with all the other pistols. I believe the added accuracy of the other pistols comes from when the barrel was cut. The drill used to bore out the barrel is used for a certain amount of barrels before it is switched. So if you have a "new" bit used to cut the barrel, everything is great. If your barrel was the last one to come off that bit before they changed it, well you got a little more slop in that barrel. Each gun, while it is still accurate, will have minor deviations in the accuracy. If you take 5 glock 19's straight from the factory and put them in a ransom rest, they will probably all shoot just a little different. It also might be the fact that I've got over 20K rounds through that 19, and the rest might have a combined 5K. Thats my .02 </div></div>
The drill has little to do with the turnout of a Glock barrel. It is easy to drill a STRAIGHT 3-5" deep hole .350-.450" in diameter. Plus, the hole is then reamed oversize, and then the tube created gets beaten down onto a mandrel. The internal dimensions and profile of the barrel have no choice but to be the reciprocal of the mandrel.
