Recently bought a Gen4 G19 with the intent to carry it, couldn't pass up the blue line price on one despite the reported issues. Serial starts with a T, brand new, took it out and fired 200 rounds of PMC bronze through it.

- Zero malfunctions with the gun or any of the magazines
- 3 rounds to the face, one landed on my wrist
- Below is a picture of the brass following 15 shots or so, I did not move my right foot for reference,

Now I was hoping you guys could help me figure out if it's me or the sights, I'm inclined to want to blame myself and not the gun but I can't figure this one out. It is not unusual for me to hit low left as I start anticipating if I don't actively think about not doing so, but I've never seen straight left groups.

Here is after 3 magazines, shooting various amounts of shots at various speeds from 7-10 yards

Here is the best 5 shot group I could muster, the two "fliers" were already there,

For reference, here are 13 rounds out of my G21, not fast but not slow bullseye shooting either same distance, still a little left and low, like I said it's something I need a lot more work with, but it isn't directly left.

Is the smaller weapon exacerbating my mistakes? I definitely caught myself flinching with the .45 after several magazines through the 9mm but I felt good with the G19. Can I still contact GLOCK about the ejection or is an apex my only option? Or is 3 of 200 not an issue?

I know there are a lot of these threads and I have read them, I just wish for confirmation specific to me the best one can make from pictures.

It's either your trigger breaking in or trigger finger placement. I'd do a 25 cent Glock trigger job and then unload both guns three times, go to another room away from the ammo, and do a press out to an imaginary target or something on the wall. Key is to not be thinking about what you're doing and then have someone else check your trigger finger placement (pad versus distal joint, etc).

It also would be worth checking the sights. While glocks do encourage pulling shots to the left, it's also equally possible your sights might be off. Rule out a bad trigger press first, of course.
