Glocks are Left Leaning?

I got in a chance to shoot a couple of Glocks, the Model 17 Generation 3 and the Model 19 Generation 4. 

All the 'preppers' swear by the Glock, well a few swear at it I suppose.  But it has a few features that I personally agree with.  The 17 and 19 are in 9mm which is a very common and easily available cartridge.  Parts are easily and cheaply obtained.   You can even get .22LR conversions for them so you can train on the cheap with the same gun.   

I was using your basic cheap FMJ range ammo.  You know the type, about $10 a box and it comes in various flavors, PCM, CCI Blazer, Winchester.  That's what I was shooting that day anyway. 

The pistols fed without any problems straight out of the box, no modifications or changes had been made to them including cleaning. 

We shot at 10 yards.  Both glocks, for me, shot about a 8" group using a full magazine with the occasional flyer that for the sake of vanity I'm ignoring.   To give you some idea of what a little experience and break in will do for you I also brough a gun I've had for about 20+ years, the Ruger P85.  With that gun I shot around a 4" group full magazine again ignoring the odd flyer.

Oddly both glocks also had a CoG or center of group about 4" left of the X.  Given this is the first pistol I've had this issue with I can only assume there's something off about the way they settle in my hands and how much trigger finger I'm getting on the triggers.

I was impressed with them overall although I obviously need to work on learning them properly so that I can hit the X rather than left of the X.   Although even now, if something bad is within 10 yards I won't have any trouble hitting center of mass.  Getting a head shot on a zombie might be a little mroe difficult though... :)

The gun still looks and to some extent feels like a toy to me, I grew up when it was steel and chrome, not space plastics.  But I do have to give credit where it's due, in spite of their feel, the guns did what they were supposed to do, go bang every single time.

Given the obvious use of  pistol, i.e. to shoot bad people wishing to do you and yours harm in short range, I'm going to be putting one of the XS Big Dot sights on one of them.  They have a love hate relationship with their owners, most people love them for fast target acquistion in 3 to 10 yard range.  Less than 3 and aiming using more than the slide is almost unnecessary for most people and greater than 10 requires more careful aim.

Anyway, once I get them I'll post my own review of the sights.
