Glock 26 - Problem with aim or something...

[iMoses14]

So, I went to Targetmaster a couple days ago. Brought my Glock 26 with me. But, I also rented a Smith & Wesson M&P9c to play with as well. Was very excited to play with them both. Especially the G26 since I just recently purchased it a couple weeks ago and this was my first (and last) time shooting it (since I'm selling it). But, I was very disappointed with the results.

First, I shot 200 rounds through the M&P9c. All were center mass (on the red) from 15 - 20 yards away.

Then, I shot 100 rounds in the G26. All were center mass. So, I shot another 100 rounds. ALL were below center mass. I thought my eyes were the problem. So, I shot another 100 rounds in the M&P9c. All hit center mass. Again, I tried the G26. Shot 50 rounds. ALL were below center mass. Not a single shot hit the red. All shots were centered on the target, just below the red.

I can't sell / trade this Glock 26 if there is a serious problem with it.

Has anyone else ever had this problem or heard of anything like this? Is it a problem with the gun or just me? Should I contact Glock about it? Any input would be helpful. THANKS!

was it all the same brand/grain of ammo each time?

Is it possible that something happened to the barrel crown? (probably unlikely but who knows, stranger things have happened)

Did you try field stripping it and reassembling?

Was all Remington UMC 115 Grain 9mm.

Yes. I did field strip it. But, the problem was ongoing.

The trigger on the M&P is lighter than on the glock. It is possible that going back to a heavier trigger moved your groups down slightly. Give the gun to someone else and see what happens.

Let me know if you are selling and how much. I am thinking about getting a 26.

Well the Glock 26 has a pretty small barrel, I'm not so sure about the M&P but chances are it has a longer barrel. Accuracy is then going to be less w/ shorter barrel. Like said above, try lowering the trigger pull.

This please.

My brother was having the same problem that I was having. And, he only shot the G26. He also has more firearms training then me and is certified in the State of Florida for armed security. So, I don't think it was the switching back and forth. Cause, I used to shoot my Sigma 40 (when I owned it) and a Glock 30 and never had this type of issue.

you said you just got it. maybe its just off and needed to be broken in a little bit to show that it was off. Also...some guns sight in with the sights in the center of the target, some you need to block out the target with the center dot. maybe this is the case.

Ah, good thing he's certified, that means it couldn't have been a trigger control issue and has to be a problem with the gun.


FWIW, my G19 shoots a little low. Aim higher.
