A little help here Glock 31C
[:D] I would like to thank all of you for your replies. Glock is presently working on my pistol. Sorry I took so long to thank you all.
Good Hunting, shooting and fishing.

I've never really had any trouble with any of my Glocks being ammo-specific, but I'd start there. Try various different loadings, different grain weight, and various bullet types. More than likely it'll find one that feeds well and will be more accurate.
If this still doesn't fix it, I'd either sell it and get something else (or another one, it is really rare that Glocks aren't accurate), or buy a drop-in aftermarket barrel. You might even take it to your local gunsmith and have him check the basics just to make sure.
Also, if you aren't used to double-action or heavy triggered guns it isn't uncommon at all to "pull" the pistol. When I sight in my Glocks I replace the 5 pound connector with the lighter one (I think it is 2.5 or 3) and my accuracy goes up quite a bit. I personally shoot single-action guns MUCH better than any double-action (revolver or semi-autos).
Good luck
P.S. The .357 Sig was a nice choice... I recently bought a barrel conversion for my 10mm to also shoot the .357's.

It's unusual that Glock still hasn't replied to you after 4 months. Try calling them in Georgia at 770-432-1202, and talk to their service department. I've had two minor problems with my Glock 22 rebuild (nitesights burned out) and have nothing but praise for their service, and yes mine shoots great. 0 -
Takes about 2000 rds to wear the tenifer coating off the inside of the barrel. Take the barrel out and look inside, I bet it has a bunch of little "pits". After 2000 rds the tenifer wears down and the accuracy is great. Had the same problem with my G21. If you have questions or more problems check with glockmeister.com. They are usually easier to get in contact with than Glock.

Could you describe how inaccurate you're referring to? What size groups at what ranges? 0 -

First I would like to thank you for your reply Txs.
Lets see, at 25 yards I can shoot my LLama 9mm auto with a 3" barrel and hit a 10" target every time. However, with the Glock 31C I'm lucky if I hit the cardboard backing from 25 yards that is 30" X 24"..
I know, I could not belive it the first time I took it out. After the first time at the gun range I went out and tried several different brands of ammo. It did not help.
Take care,

Hello,
If you are right handed, does the POI seem to be low and to the left?

If so, I had the same problem (trigger control).
The Glock trigger has somewhat a different feel to it.
The method recommended for correcting this would be dry-fire practice, it certainly worked for me and others. Be sure it's empty, hold it up to your shooting position pointing it at an inanimate object or blank wall, I've even read where some point it at a television screen or monitor in my case and watch to see if the front sight moves as you squeeze the trigger. I had thought this was a little silly till I tried it and voila!
Problem solved.
If it does the same after dry-fire practice and you are comfortable knowing that the front sight isn't moving on ya, then I would also give Glock a call. Another thing that would eliminate operator error would be to let a known seasoned Glock shooter take a crack at it and see if he/she doesn't have the same problem or use a bench rest.
Goodluck,
Dean

As was stated by Flatlander, first try having an experienced Glock (or revolver) shooter fire the pistol and see what results they show. If they also have this problem I'd say send it back to Glock and tell them to fix it. The bottom line here is that if you bought a pistol that's screwed up it's their problem.
If the other shooter has no problems, do a little target analysis to narrow down what's causing this. Move forward to about 15yds. and fire several groups of 3-5 rounds to see if your hits are in a specific direction from your point of aim or tend to scatter.
Knowing where, or if, your hits are grouping is the only way you or anyone else can determine what changes you might need to make. For example, the grouping the previous poster described indicates he was pushing the pistol to the weak side and down as he pushed the trigger. This is caused by not isolating the trigger finger and squeezing several muscles in the hand as he moved the trigger to the rear, referred to as milking the grip. No big deal and easy to fix once you realize what you're doing wrong.
We're not far from this topic getting locked because of the 10 response limit on this board. Try a couple of these suggestions and either e-mail me or continue this post over on the Gen. Discussion. board. Watching over your shoulder as you solve a problem can be helpful to all.0 -
I hope they get it fixed to your satisfaction. They are good guns and again that is a great caliber (.357 sig). 0
