This is one of the first pistols I ever bought, back in 1994ish. I don't particularly like the ergos of this pistol but I have always shot it well. I feel like I can't miss. Everything stock other than a smooth G22 trigger, Talon grips and some file work to remove the triggerguard hump. Here's the first time I shot it in a match if you want to see. This was shot with storm lake barrel and my 140 gr MBC reloads. (I'm the fat dude with the orange hat) https://youtu.be/elBvNcVb-X0
So lately I've noticed I seem to be very inconsistent with it. I'll feel like I'm holding center on the plates for each shot and 3 will hit and then one will miss completely. Or like 3 in a row will miss.
I started shooting "groups" just on a torso plate and noticed I was getting one center mass group and then 2 or 3 fliers to the top right shoulder. Weird. I truly feel like I'm trying to get the same trigger press, sight alignment, etc. every shot; just some go wild. I am primarily shooting 165 Xtreme reloads over 5 grains WST. Has proven a very good load in a Glock 22. I assumed it would be similarly good in my 23. Tried stock barrel (ported G23C) and maybe a little better but still have weird fliers. Have cleaned very very well to see if it helped. It didn't. Tried my 140 grain reloads but I seem to shoot them poorly now also.
I asked my brother to shoot it but results were inconclusive due to inconsistent technique (tried several guns and barrels; all looked similarly bad ). With his pistol (G22 with Salient mods) I printed a baseball sized group at 18 yards offhand.
I can't for the life of me figure out why I would be jerking them up to the right, as a right-handed shooter. I must admit the possibility, but I really feel like I'm not doing it. I tried some 165 PMC bronze and maybe a little better. I shot some groups seated from a wobbly upside down plastic bucket rest. I take my accuracy seriously.
Some probably unhelpful photos:
Xtreme 165, SL barrel, offhand. typical group. One cluster near the navel/POA and some weird stuff up to the right.
Same ammo through OEM barrel. Maybe better but still some weird high fliers.
140 Lead reloads, SL barrel. couple high right fliers.
OEM barrel, 165 Xtreme, seated. what the heck is that one top left??
SL barrel, 165 xtreme, seated. Still some high right weirdness IMO.
Some shots of SL barrel... maybe some peening at rear of hood? anything look wrong?
PMC 165 TMJ, SL barrel, seated.
Last 4 PMC rounds, OEM barrel, seated.
Input/abuse/advice welcome.
