Can't shoot my Glock straight.

Why not just carry 1911's then?

Well? Why not, oh pachydermous one? This is an excellent question.

That's a good question!

I had to temporarily retire my Para-Ordnance guns for maintenance (gunsmith level), but haven't had the time address it (and they may recently have been stolen). I was going to switch to single stacks, but I have an emotional problem with "not enough bullets."

My .45 ACP single stacks sat for a long time unused (years). I shot them a few times in matches a couple of years ago and they developed reliability issues (don't know what changed... they were rock solid when I shot them regularly).

I wanted lots of bullets, minimal expense, and as close to 100% reliability as I could get. At the time, that said "used Glock." Were I to do it today, I'd probably go Walther PPQ, but the ubiquitous nature of Glocks has a lot of advantages.

This was my last 25yd group from a couple weeks ago, 2-3/4". I see a lot of groups like this where I have 3 or 4 grouped together, then 1 or 2 off somewhere else. Either mid group I slightly changed my trigger pull, or the gun shifted in my grip from recoil, something. If I could be consistent, I'm sure I could get it to <2". But like I said, glocks are just unforgiving to the slightest error or inconsistency. It took a lot of work to get to this point... When I first switched to glock, I thought sure something was wrong with the gun, it was brutal!

this was my G35, taran connector kit and sights. Standing, unsupported.

Nice shooting!

I feel better when you share that you had to work at it too. There have been periods in the last few years when I could shoot them well, but I was shooting a lot more then. As you said, they are unforgiving of any errors. I need to . . . I'm going to type it, so get ready . . . practice.

Hey! I'm interested but I'm not a Glock owner, and assumed that disqualified me...

1. You are always welcome!
2. Whatever gun you choose, I'll try to help you shoot it better.

I made a Venn diagram showing A: what Rhino needs to do and B: what he will do.

haha

That's ok, I've barely done any practice the last 18 months or so. Not even enough to maintain skill.... sucking more every day ...

We need to get this setup. A "rhino teaches INGO how to a Glock" day.

That is an accurate statement, sir. Get it? Accurate?

Haha! I crack me up.

Not the first time a Glock owner couldn't shoot straight....
