I think you mean near-sighted. I'm near-sighted and I can read but everything is blurred from front sight on. "near sighted" is when you ONLY can see near(reading etc), Far-sighted is when you can see far but you can't read a book, without your reading glasses. AND,if you shot 2-2.5" groups at 27 yards (10 shots groups-all day long), with a 5-6lb trigger, AND you had your GLASSES/CONTACTS on,Really? The first time I shot a Glock 17, I was already terribly far-sighted at the age of 40+ at the time, with the bone stock trigger that resembles more of a staple gun than a firearm, I shot pretty consistent 2-2½ 10-shot groups offhand at 25m (27.3yd) all day long, no problem at all. An I'm definitely not a world-class shooter, just a decent amateur. No mag dumps but I wouldn't exactly call that slow fire.
Whenever I see people practising offhand slow fire at something like 30', I have a hard time trying not to laugh. For quick draw practise that might be appropriate but once you've familiarized yourself with the gun you should challenge yourself, at least to a degree.
I'm not talking about the benchrest competition ½" groups at 330yd or trying to halve the inch-groups of a hunting rifle at 100, but some reality checks of what's practical and what's good accuracy. A friend of mine (well... 2M+ round former pro) won a bet of $50 when I was sure he couldn't knock over a silhouette ram with a .357 snub offhand on the first try so there ARE different degrees of accuracy, but in general it seems to be exaggerated with long guns and underestimated with handguns these days.
IMO all the accuracy you'll ever really need is that your next group is smaller than the previous one and that you'll keep practising. Guns these days are plenty accurate, fewer shooters are, which is a a crying shame.
then"my man", you are a Natural". I have 7 Glocks and 4 of them have 3-3.5lb triggers, and when I shoot the ones with stock triggers, the group size is a lot bigger. I keep most of my targets and I have some 3-4" groups at 25 yards, but most are 6" groups at 25 yards.
