    How accurate can Sub compacts be?


    Just picked up a G27 last week. Between family stuff and deer hunting, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I understand that due to the short site radius, that accuracy may be somewhat limited, but what kind kind of groups can I expect if I do my part? My last compact was a Springfield ultra compact. At 10 yards, I was lucky to get 12-15" groups. On another note, just found out that my MIL has a G 19 that I will hopefully inherit some day. It does have finger grooves, but no rail. I think it it one of the early 2nd gens. Does it have any higher value than regular 2nd gen. models?
    Thanks.

    I have a G26 and at 10 yds a 3 or 4 inch group is not uncommon. Can't speak for the value of the G19. Good luck with your G27.

    I haven't really shot them head to head that much, but my qualification scores with the baby Glocks are consistent with the scores I get with the larger models. However, my GSSF scores with the larger models is much faster than with the babies.

    With my G29 at 40 ft, I can keep a 3 inch circle 80% of the time. With my G22 under same situation, I get a 5 inch pattern.

    29 sub is one sweet shooter!

    The sub compact Glocks are very accurate. If you do your part you will be amazed.

    My 30 SF goes where I point it. Let me repeat that, It goes where "I" point it. Cloverleafing 5 shots at 7 yards is easier on the weapon than it is on me. At 15 yds, all inside a half dollar is what the weapon can esaily do. Me, on the other hand, gotta work on it. But hey, that's half the fun. Like sfguard said, they're accurate.
    If guns and gun owners are so dangerous, Why are there never any mass murders at the gun range??

    I don't feel like my G26 is any less accurate than my G19.

    You are correct. On the police range I always shot the same score with either 23 or 27.

    Less felt recoil in the sub compacts because of the double spring!

    I want to get side by side comparison of my G26 VS G17L with the same ammo & same distances & same rate of fire etc..
    I think most folks hold their sub compacts differently than they do the compacts or full sized & have to work a bit harder on sight picture, grip etc than they do with the longer guns..
    Most people seem to think the sub compacts are as accurate or more so than the full size weapons..
    I will have to say I'm really stoked about picking up my ANIB 1999 G26 & my 1990 G17L..
