Probably not a problem with the sights.

As you speed up your are probably inadvertently pulling the trigger harder which is pulling the gun down and to the left.

Put some dummy rounds or snap caps in the magazine randomly and keep your eye on the front sights. I bet you will see that you gun dips low and left when you hit the false round.

Take it slow and let the speed come naturally over time.

I had a similar issue with mt Taurus PT140. It shot 2 or 3 inches low with the ammo it shot best with ( anything 180 grain). I opted to take a grinder to my front site. It now shoots to point of aim, but my grinding craftsmanship is definitely not up to par. Anyhow, if it was a glock I probably would not do it. Someone out there must make a shorter front site?

Can glock sights be adjusted for this?
Also i noticed that when i took my time my groups were ok but when i sped up the pace my rounds were low and to the left. Anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks,
Mike C.
Are you sighting on the center of the target (center hold) or using a 6 o'clock hold? My Glocks are dead on with center hold.

If it turns out your sights are off, then you'd have to change the REAR sight to adjust elevation. See here:

I keep a copy of that pic on my phone for at the range. I still have a lot of trouble shooting the bull with my G23 even with 165 grain WWB.
