OK, we all know that the standard Glock is not "zeroed" in the factory. The test fire is just function check. But here is my question.
A conversation with some friends brought this up even though we all change out for aftermarket, we are curious. Is there intent in the design for the sights out of box to be set at a certain distance?
A standard Out of the Box G19 or G23 (actually it would be interesting for all models and Gen's) with factory sights (no optics) what is the rough point of aim/impact distance?
We figure the design itself, based on the dimensions of the pistol and height of the sights there would be an "expected zero distance". With manufacturing I would assume some sort of consistency in sight installation. So, where is the "expected" zero distance based on the dimensions, sight height, etc.? Of course different ammo as well as bullet weights, etc. would change this. But we would assume the engineers involved would have had some sort of intention around this. 5 yards, 7, 9, 20, 25, 50? Or even what people have seen on the first range trip. I plan on trying to get anyone I know to start tracking to compare.
I hope that made sense. Also, factoring in that it is not done purposely you would not rely on it as a true zero by any stretch.
