Im dead on at 7-10. I dont have the want or the need to try at 100 yrds.
6 o'clock hold is the way glocks (and most handguns) are meant to be aimed without optics.

Where did you find that at? My rifle school taught us the "pumpkin on a post" hold shooting 100yrds out. I have shot MANY MANY Glocks and they have all been center hold straight out of the box. Target guns are a different story. I did own a Bulgarian Makarov once that was 6 o'clock hold and it drove me nuts shooting it. In the 13yrs as a firearms instructor I cannot ever remember teaching the 6 o'clock hold for pistol shooting.
I am meaning that sight picture #2 is the correct POA for the bull at most used distances.
I imagine you guys though I was talking about #1
Nope. I'm talking about #3 "center hold", which is used for most combat handguns.
I guess I'm doing it wrong like many others then
I guess a good question is are you shooting bullseye, or training for a potential SD situation? Dots are for quick acquisition and not precision.
I guess I should clarify. I fully understand the physics, trojectory, and logic involved in points of impact. What I guess I want to know is what can I do with this weapon to adjust it, or me, to be dead on at 25 yards.(other than hold low) This is where I prefer my zero at.
SD/IDPA/USPSA, if I were shooting bullseye I'd use target sights.I guess a good question is are you shooting bullseye, or training for a potential SD situation? Dots are for quick acquisition and not precision.
Nobody has any solutions ?
Well, if its truly the sights and not operator error, you can either hold, or replace the sights. The easiest way would be to get sights that are adjustable for elevation and zero them where/how you want. Otherwise, you can experiment with different height front sights to find your zero at desired range.

#2 is "6 o'clock hold" and is typically used more for target sights.
