G 19 Rear Sight drifted right to shoot dead on

[Linea_de_Fuego]

Sighted in the new sights today and the pistol is very accurate at 15 yards. However the rear sight is drifted noticeably to the right to shoot dead center. The factory sights were drifted slightly to the right and still shot left.

I am happy with the sight picture and accuracy, but I wonder how common is this for the rear sight not to be centered?

I own 4 glocks in 9mm and all of my rears are drifted right to be center at 25yards

There is a good chance this is a trigger pull issue.

The pistol was bench rested for sighting and the groups were tight. I don't think in this case I pulled off the point of aim.

I am not saying this was for sure a trigger issue but it is still a possibility. It is possible to so consistently pull the trigger in a non-straight line with Glocks among other handguns that you get a tight grouping but it is deviated horizontally from what it should be. Not saying it is certainly the problem, but rather saying it coupd be the problem.

I know exactly what you mean... with the heavy Glock trigger it would be more likely to pull to the right than push to the left.

Gentlemen, on Glocks the rear sight has to be noticeably to the right to shoot dead center. It is a design characteristic.

Good to know. It seemed odd to me. When I researched this it appeared not to be a consistent condition. So I wondered how common it was and of course wondered why this was needed to shoot to POI.

I have a 19 with the exact same issue. I had to drift right to have it shoot straight. Before anyone claims it is shooting technique, though, I have a G41 and the sights are perfectly aligned and I have no accuracy issue with it. I find it a bit bizarre that the 19 has this issue while the 41 does not.
