Agreed although w/o knowing what to look for & how to correct it self-diagnosing can be hard if not impossible.
I've seen people spend 1000's of dollars in the hunt for "Excalibur" who finally went somewhere & got professional instruction from someone who was qualified to teach them & "mysteriously" they usually found out that it wasn't a "hardware" problem" but was a "software" one.....
Absolutely! I'm someone who will admit to being guilty of looking for "Excalibur". I've found its a mixture of both hardware and software. I have to modify my Glocks a certain way to kind of "custom fit" them to what works best for me. I naturally shoot Glocks better than pretty much any other gun out there once the trigger is set the way I like it. All modern pistols are inherently more accurate than the person shooting them. The trigger in my case brings out an inherent flaw of mine. If the trigger is heavier than I like I tend to crush the trigger trying to get it to break. The heavier it is the more unsteady I become as I squeeze the trigger back. I'm working on overcoming is my "target panic". This is where the flaw in my fundamentals really really come out. I can put great groups up on a silhouette target but put up a bullseye target and it just anticipate the recoil and flinch (this happens a lot more with a unmodified trigger). Doesn't happen all the time but it does happen enough to make it a problem. You can hand me a Glock that I have modified and I'll put up great groups on a silhouette target and "novice at best" on a bullseye target, then hand me the same exact model that is bone stock and you would think I never shot a gun before. I'm not talking about a 3lb trigger either. I usually have around a 4.5-ish lb trigger with my set up. I prefer a reduced take up and very little over travel after the break.
