What can i expect from my new Glock 19 as far as point of impact?
:dunno:
I have a G34 with adjustable sights and i have it adjusted for point of aim is point of impact.

Will my Stock fixed sights on G19 be 6 o'clock hold?

Or point of aim is point of impact?

Hope i described this well enough :nailbiting:

My G19 Gen 3 RTF2 hits pretty much POA (my definition = center of front dot is POA/POI) with 115 gr. WWB and 115 gr. Hornady Personal Defense rounds at 15 yds. Having been a bullseye pistol shooter for many years, I like my POI to be just above the tip of the front sight, but that's just me and my sights aren't adjustable.

The factory sights should give a 6 o'clock hold.

Most of the handguns (and all of the Glocks) I've acquired or shot over the years are set from the factory for a center hold. That isn't to say that it will shoot that way for YOU, but it is most likely set up that way at the factory for the average shooter.

Maybe take a sand bag and bench rest a 100 rnds or so. Thats pretty much what I had to do just to hit the darn spot I wanted to hit. Once you form that habit it becomes easier.

The factory sights are set for POA = POI.
Combat type shooting not bulls eye shooting. :whistling:

I bought a new G19 and a new G36, both OD models.
I used four or more commercial brands of ammo with each gun.

Each gun had a Point of Impact that was 1.4-1.5" above Point of Aim @ 10 yards. Each gun, from a rest, put five rounds into 2/3". Very accurate guns. IMHO, a gun for 6 o'clock hold.

I've always been told:

Combat hand gun = cover the target with the front dot.

Target hand gun = Place the target on top of the front dot.

Hope that helps

What do you do if the sight has no dot?

What I've learned and what I teach is that you hold the top of the front sight right below where you want to hit and in reduced light you place the dot (if the sight has a night site dot) on what you want to hit. Yes, this is for combat shooting.

6 o'clock hold is some serious PPC 'target' competition sighting stuff and would never be used with any Glock during combat shooting.

For up close and personal 'survival' shooting your eyes are going to be locked in on the target anyway and the best you can do is "reference" your sights onto the target. That way you can get 'fairly' accurate shots onto the threat very quickly IF you control the trigger.

Lastly I own seven Glocks. All shoot point of aim, point of contact.

Good luck with yours.

Sorry I forgot what it's like on here. The question referenced a dot, at least that's how I read it, so I included a dot in my answer. If you don't have a dot on your front sight then I'm pretty sure you could figure out where it would be IF you had one. But just in case,

Combat guns = the top of the front sight blade should be just above your intended POI. (assuming you are at a "combat distance" other wise adjust accordinly.

Target guns = the top of the front sight blade should be directly under the intended POI. ie. the target should "rest" on the front sight.

I don't have 17 glocks but I've been shooting for a while and I was just offering my opinion.
