I'm not smart enough for your MENSA test so I will be bowing out now. :D
Make your arm one with the gun young grasshopper.

Not my question! It is Glock's!

Hell, I just guessed based on what I thought was being asked.
I voted for the one that makes no sense at all, which means its probably correct.

Must be a poor translation of a requested survey from the vaterland. Maybe trying to figure out a new grip angle for gen 5.
Is this with pinkie extended or crossed with ring finger for good luck?

Yes.

Yep,I couldn't figure out what was meant by "top of gun."
But,I'm easily confused anyway.:confused:

how can we answer, if you don't tell us what direction we're facing?

This is the question that GLOCK put forward on their website. You know as much as me so answer as best you can.

I'm going to guess "Front sight slightly to the right. Top of gun centered in the rear sight.".
Maybe they're trying to make a point on Glocks shooting to the left?
The question asks about grip, but then gives choices for sight alignment. What's that all about?
How can the rear sight be level with the top of the gun, when the rear sight is taller than, and mounted on the top of the gun?
Seems to be some sort of poor translation, or an intentional brain teaser.

I think A. C means the front sight and the rear are centered right?
Or B could be optimal because it will put the recoil in line with your arm and body when you properly align the sights?? Dunno

Where's the option for "You are the only one professional enough, now shoot yourself in the leg?"
Leave it to the Austrians/Germans to confuse the hell out of you when trying to train people....:rolleyes:
They should put this on the ASVAB, it the section with all the other "best guess" questions.
Don't know about 'optimal' but this is my sight pic w/a Glock if pressing out with eyes closed until I reacquaint myself with the Glock's grip angle:
Front sight centered. Top of gun level with the top of the rear sight.
.......This is seriously on their new site?? :confused:

Lol I read that question so many times and didnt understand so I did not say anything. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is clueless about what it's supposed to mean.
I seriously thought I was missing something and I felt retarded haha.
The proper Glock grip? Replace it with a CZ.
I don't know what Glock's answer is, but I know what Glock's answer is not: "Ergonomically"
What do I win? :D
The correct answer to the questions:
Front sight centered. Top of gun level with the top of the rear sight.
Talk amongst yourself. :help:

Am I the only one still confused, LOL

I got it right but still that's not how I would describe it.

That's some critical thinking and deductive reasoning right there.
You won the thread!

That must be for indirect fire :ph34r:
At least I picked the correct answer.
Ok... I'm even more confused n
One of the answers clearly seems to suggest an option to alleviate the tendency for Glocks to shoot left. Too bad my 17 still shoots left, even with trigger adjustments and after market sights. I am working on it.
Maybe they used google translate or something that totally screwed it up, because that is not English with any decernabble meaning.
I picked the "right" one because IMO nothing should not be lined up. But I also knew I was going to wrong because it was the most illogical one and in a question like this this the one that seems right is always wrong.
Honestly more than wanting to know the right answer I want to know wtf they are asking/talking about.

I used to shoot low left when i started shooting. After learning decent trigger control i started shooting just left. Moved the sights slightly, and now im only to the left if i lose concentration or screw something up. Always felt like a sell out with my slights moved to the right, but then i saw the TAC-TV episode where LAV shot slightly left and now i feel better!
Ha I got it wrong. Still doesn't make any sense though.
LOL, trust me when I say that you are not the only one.

I thought it was just me. :confused:

This :eek:
Sounds like someone put the word "not" in by accident.
It sounds like they are trying to say center front sight and level top of front sight with top of rear sight.

I was just being sarcastic, like we were supposed to adjust for coriolis effect, or something

D. Whatever gets the job done, but guessed #2 and was wrong. I think the question got mucked up somewhere.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. This question threw me for a loop. I actually grabbed my Glock and tried to reason through their options. Gave up. Got it wrong. Wasted my time with the Glock ID thing.
Dammit....where is the picture of the bunny with the pancake on its head when you need it!
Is it just me, or does the "correct" answer evoke a mental image of the front sight standing quite "proud" of the rear notch...?
Presupposing that "top of the gun" is exclusive to the top of the FRONT of the gun...oh, forget it.
Things're about to get weird...!

Yet more proof that many of those that are making your firearms have no idea how to actually use them.

But the "correct" answer in itself is the "wrong" answer....Which Is NOT be used to describe the correct grip
I wonder if the intent was to say "Top of the Front Sight aligned with the top of the rear sight" (I was taught this and told to black out my dots as the dots sometimes line up with the front sight higher or lower in the rear sight, and the "correct" method was line up the tops.
Technically "Top of the Gun Aligned with the Top of the Rear sight" is the same; as the Front Sight Post should be the "Top of the gun" but then so is the rear sight (although I haven't actually measured them to see which, if either is higher, my best guess would be the rear sight is the higher of the two, but that is based on rifle distances, not handgun.).
Confusing as hell though. And the bunny/pancake picture is at home.

I got this question right. B is obviously the best way to hold the gun. If you blade it slightly away from you, the brass will just miss your face.

I wonder if this would make more sense in German or ....foreign language.

I'm still confused...since I'm such a simpleton I'm glad that I shoot M&P's, lol!
The correct answer to the questions:
Front sight centered. Top of gun level with the top of the rear sight.
C4
So you mean the top front edge of the slide level with the top edge of the rear sight

Exaggerated flash sight picture. My Glock 23 will hit 4" high at 8 yards when sighted this way.
