Background: 50 years shooting - mostly 1911s for the last 40 or so. Have had a G17 around a year (also an MP 9).
Problem: The pistol shoots left. Yes - everyone says that's what happens when newbies shoot Glocks - but it does it when I shoot left hand, on a rest, or let someone else shoot it. Does it with the three ammo types I've tried so far. Was at a training class this weekend - and another Glock shooter had his rear sight drifted so far to the right that the instructor thought it was falling out.
Some have said - get a new set of sights! Well - the stock night sights "look" fine, i.e., they don't appear cut off center or anything like that. Front sight appears centered and aligned. If that is the case - new sights probably won't do much good??? If it's not the sights - then where would the problem be? I don't want to end up drifting my rear sight halfway out of the slide like the gun I saw this weekend (also a G17, btw).
Any and all input greatly appreciated.

PS - If it means anything - I shoot the MP 9 fine. Not as tight a group as the Glock - but definitely center so that POA = POI. The Glock has a NY1/- setup in it now. It also shot this way with the factory setup on springs.
