GlockZero Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've been shooting since I was 5 but just recently wanted to get serious about shooting competitively. I picked up a G41 to get my feet wet at a GSSF match sometime in the future, or maybe shoot pins or plates locally. I'm looking to learn a lot here, been reading Ben Stoegers book, have Brians to dive into after that. Most of the reading prior to those were Ayoob/Sweeney which isn't really competitively focused. I like the G41 a lot. I've had a G17 gen3 and a 2 pin G22 gen3 in the past, they were ok, but found myself looking for more. I also had a SA 1911 loaded for a bit, it was alright. I then moved on to a SA XD-45 Tactical (5" barrel) enjoyed that for a while until I held the G41 and it just balanced so well compared to the XD-45 I traded in. I suppose I'm a .45 fan but just because I'm 6'7" with large hands and the larger frames on the .45s always feel nicer to me. I'd like to try a M&P 45 or an XDm 5.25 at some point or maybe a 2011 but the G41 allows me to shoot GSSF as an introduction to competing. The G41 also has a more enjoyable pleasant recoil impulse, gen 4 RSA maybe, then I remember my G17 or G22 having. Perhaps I should try a G34/G35 Gen4 at some point? I'd like to thank you all in advance, even just lurking for a few days I've read more quality posts here then anywhere else. Any other recommended reading? Thanks, GZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czmon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Welcome fellow Keystoner--Glad to have another of 'us' on this forum. South central for me, York area. Looks like you are committed to Glocks. For me, I have found a tuned CZ to be my favorite--cajunized, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Welcome to the party! The G34 is my favorite Glock other then the G42 I carry daily. You deserve one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlockZero Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the welcome everyone. My commitment to the Glock 41 may be short lived. I just landed a FN FNS-9 LS for under $500 out the door, and it really fits well, even with the shorter length of pull. Can't wait to run this through its paces. I wouldn't call the trigger better or worse, but its different than the Glock for sure. It does have a shorter reset, but I'll have to wait and see how it shoots.

BBQRibs Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Welcome aboard matey. Any other recommended reading? I snagged Brian Eno's book from the store page and found it a great book. Very informative on both the mechanical and the mental aspects of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
