I agree. I like the gun4 and have owned a few but when Glock redesigned the trigger bar and trigger housing they screwed up. They need to get a better trigger before I go back to owning Glocks.

Are some of us not meant to shoot striker fired pistols?

I'm not reading this whole thread...has anyone asked if the sights on the Glock are on straight? That's the only way any of my Glocks miss dead center...if I've just switched out sights and need to readjust the rear a bit.
First thought is that the trigger isn't something that you have a lot of time on and you just need to practice. I can and have made 25 meter head shots off hand with Glocks. Not terribly hard but there is the issue of focusing on the target, sights, and trigger squeeze. Longer shots can also be made with focus and practice. Are they easier with some of my other platforms? Yes, my Beretta is a piece of cake and even at the 100 meter line a man sized target is not an issue, my TRP is just as easy. With all of that said, when you are dealing with accuracy of a platform the easiest way to hurt or help is a smooth consistent trigger. The weight of the pull I do not believe is as big of a concern as is the smoothness of it being pulled, if the trigger pull is smooth it helps encourage a smooth pull on the shooter's part making accuracy easier. My advice is practice a lot and go from there, or pick a platform that you shoot better and run with that. No one saying you have to carry a glock because a bunch of names on the internet say you need to.
sorry lag double post

I believe alot of people get caught up in the whole, "Glock PERFECTION", it'll shoot no matter what, even if you dip it in ice cream, microwave it, drag it behind your truck, then let your dog chew on it. BUT... if you can't shoot it well and have confidence in your ability to hit what you want to hit then what good is all that?
Yeah, they are reliable as hell, so are a bunch of other pistols out there. Lets be realistic, 99% of us will never subject their personal firearms to the kind of torture they are shown to have survived. Yeah, its "neat" and all but realistic, no. Most of us take a gun to the range, shoot 50 rounds through it, then spend 20 minutes cleaning it.
If something doesn't work for you then find something that does. There is so much good stuff out there that you will come across a pistol that you are confident in your ability to hit what your shooting at. If they trigger doesn't work for you, find one that does or buy something that modifies it so that it safely does work for you.

Yes, they were. It's also not just this Glock. It's any Glock, XD, or M&P that I have owned or fired.
The Glock was traded the other day and replaced with a Beretta 92 Centurian. Firing the Beretta, I tore out the 10 ring at 10 yards without thinking about it.
It's simply a matter of training.
Learning to control the trigger is critical to being able to be consistently accurate.

Quoted once again...that's really all there is to it. Most people spend far more time talking about "guns" than they ever do learning how to use them.
True, but not all triggers are created equal.
Added: While having good fundimentals of trigger control while bullseye shooting is essential, having a pistol, with a trigger and a comfortable feel while shooting can effect accuracy. I know we all "shoot one particular pistol better than others" and sure, with practice you can become better with a different pistol than your preferred one, but your never gonna like the "other one" as much as the one your better with.
