I just can't shoot my P320 accurately. I can't even remember now where the rounds hit the target, but I'm not good with it. I'm pretty new, but can hit fairly well with my Ruger 1911 (.45, that is).
The sights aren't adjustable, so where do I go from here? I don't really know anybody that can give me any insight as to what may be wrong. Do I just send it back to the factory and hope they adjust something? |

Monkeyfist, you might do better by starting a new thread. This one was kind of fading a little, and your subject is kind of a new one.
User error is far more common than mechanical problems when accuracy is the issue. Your post was pretty short on details. Folks here could help you better if you go back to the range and post your results. Posting a photo of a typical target might even beat a description. Have someone else shoot your pistol if you can - a friend, an office at the range, an employee of the gun shop if they have an attached range, or even someone at the range who seems to be shooting well - shooters often are helpful sorts. You could ask at the range and/or shop whether they know someone giving lessons, too. |

If you want something with a fairly low price get the Ruger SR 9 full size.

The legendary Massad Ayoob wrote a great article on the exploits of the Glock 26 vs the Glock 17, and even against $3,000+ 9mm 1911's.
The bottom line is that the Glock 26, due to its shorter sight radius, prominent palm hump and dual-captive recoil (Gen 4) spring, allows one to shoot the G26 faster and more accurately than the G17 and even some very expensive custom 9mm 1911s. The Gen 4 springs provide more consistent barrel lockup for better accuracy, he says. |

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people out-shot themselves using a G26 vs. almost any other pistol, with few exceptions. And no, I don't own a Glock. I had a Glock 30S and I regret selling it; I shot better with that compact .45 than I do with my full size FNS-40 (the 30S has a Gen 4 spring).

That sounds like a great load of nonsense with the G26.
No way is it going to out shoot a lot of other 9mms, I'm not talking about other pocket guns. |

Boring answer, but GLOCK19.
If you live in the tropics or have hot summer weather and it won't conceal easily, the S&W Shield is phenomenal. If you want to stick with a GLOCK, the 43 IMHO is a close second.

I guess it depends on peoples view of shooting well.
For me the G26 is just too small, the grip is awkward which does not lend itself to shooting well. The accuracy was not impressive at 25 yards IMO. If you compare it to other basic guns when shooting at 10 yards then your likely not going to see the short comings as much and the groups will look similar. "How available are they down there" Do you mean the G26 or handguns in general? The G26 not so much, no one wants it and it doesn't meet the min barrel length requirements. if you really want one you can get one though. Handguns in general are available once you join a club and get a licence. |
