We've all heard/seen the numerous complaints and "solutions" for folks with Glock 19 accuracy problems. Don't really want to get into that. I am asking if any Glock 23 owners have had similar problems? :supergrin:
Any Glock 23 owners with accuracy complaints?

So I'm sure you did a forum search to find out how many folks have had problems with low-left shooting Glock 19s...right? Okay, no sweat. Fanboys that believe in "Glock Perfection" are just as welcome in my thread as others.

I believe you meant "A shooter who can't shoot". Only that isn't me. As I have already stated, no problems with my Glock 17, 26, 30, and 22s. Just the 19. And today my problem should be resolved. I received my complete Glock 23 upper receiver from GlockStore.com. I will try and get out this weekend and give a range report with pics.

Not a Fanboy. Competent shot with no problems with Glock's. My experience is very much like the others here. My choice for a personal carry is a G23. I also carry a HK USP in 45 ACP at times. This low right business is a crock. No doubt the Frankenglock will be a miracle gun the likes of which have not been seen since the invention of smokeless gun powder. Even surpasses the Glock 7.:dancingbanana:

Dood...I really don't give a **** about you or your opinions. I have seen forum commandos before. It's why they have an ignore list. Nice try trying to yank my chain. Rah rah you and Glock.

I fixed it I am the writter, who can proof read. Sometimes making old arthritic finger work hurts. Brain is slowing down also, so I expect to only live another 30 years. The last 70 were Ok, but the next 30 could be tough.I believe you meant "A shooter who can't shoot". Only that isn't me. As I have already stated, no problems with my Glock 17, 26, 30, and 22s.

"low/left problems" is not the 19 or the 23 or any Glock or gun, it is the shooter.

Didn't even have to use the search engine. Found a huge thread on it on the first page:

Congratulations on being a pancreatic cancer survivor.
I was out shooting my flintlock rifle. Looked into my shooting box. There ,before God and everybody, in the lid was an old chart from shooting Bullseye. It had this circle looking Chart diagnosing what was happening when the bullets went astray. Low right? Yep, had to do with iron grip on the handgun. "Milking"? Low left? Squeezing with finger tips. These are a shooter's problem. Pure and simple. Enough of the yellow shower on the back sold as rain!

Well I finally got my Glock 19-to-23 conversion out to the range yesterday. Took along 100 rounds of WWB 165 grain and 50 rounds of Federal American Eagle 165 grain. Also took along my Beretta 96A1 to test it out. Loaded up 3 mags of the Glock and started firing. Used my modified Weaver hold. Only mod I had on the Glock was the Hogue grip. Fired off first mag and tore the heck out of the center of the 8 inch bullseye at about 15 feet. I see no reason to be shooting at anything further than that, as it would get too difficult to explain to the DA
At about the end of my second magazine I noticed 2 things. #1 my rounds had started to drop below the 8 inch bull, and #2 my trigger finger was getting DANG sore!!! I wrote both off to my diabetic neuropathy and switched to my left hand/classic target stance with right hand in my pocket. Rounds went back in the bull for about 25 shots and then the pain started up in my left finger. I was kinda confused, as my Glock 22 never presented this trigger finger pain.
So I switched to the Beretta. Ahhhh....trigger finger intensive care:animlol:. The trigger on the Beretta is nice and smooth and wide. Felt like I just dunked my finger in ice water. I obliterated the 8 inch bull with the remaining rounds from the Beretta and headed home. Today I took out my guns to clean them. And I wanted to check something too. I took out my Glock 22 and compared the trigger on it to my Glock 19/23. Mmmm hmmmm. Glock 22 has a nice smooth trigger. Glock 19/23 has multiple ridges on the trigger. Leave it to Gasbag to screw up a good thing. Not sure what goofball suggested that they install ridges on the trigger, but that is one of the dumbest things they could have done. Fortunately, E-Bay is loaded with factory "smooth" triggers for sale for cheap. I will be ordering one today. Now I am wondering how many folks have had similar problems and never even realized it? :frown:

CCIMan must have immensely benefited from professional training or he offers the service himself. He seems to tell everyone that they do not know what they are doing. Haha :laughing:

While Rob is 100% correct, he wasn't shooting a Glock with those ridges on the trigger, and I have no doubt he doesn't suffer from diabetic neuropathy.

The compact Glocks came with the ridged trigger to make import points. The called it a target trigger. Most change it out for a smooth trigger.Well I finally got my Glock 19-to-23 conversion out to the range yesterday.
