keep in mind in most EU country rifle mags are limited to ten round(sometimes 5) by the law.thats' a good reason to have a 10 round limit if you want to have international competition.

I'm one more happy glock user with its sites tapped to the right... couldn't it be that european-made glocks are politically correct and tend to go to the left???

I was dry firing the other day and I figured I would just "fire" the gun at a single target over and over without cocking the hammer. I have done similar things but mainly for transition work. This time I just said "I am going to put 15 rounds on that target". As I was pressing the trigger I noticed very small movements in the sight as I went faster or even sometimes when I went slower!
I was trying to press back on the trigger with a bit more force than it would take to actually fire the gun; like about 5# for this gun. And I found that a lot of my movement was either when the trigger stopped on the over travel screw or when I let off of the trigger. I think I have pretty bad trigger control!!! 
So I have now started to do this drill and really concentrate on that straight back trigger press...
Do many of you train this way?
Thoughts?

PS: I guess I should mention I was doing this SHO and WHO. With both hands it is not nearly as noticable, but I think it is there.
I do on the glock by putting something small between the slide and the barrel so that it wont close.
It's useful as you learn why your shots do not go where they're supposed to when you're firing fast... it improves overtime, but the first 10-15 days just sucks!
Also consider that when your trigger hit the frame and moves the FS the bullet should be gone so you're partially amplifying your error

it reminds me of "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels"

if you dont have a blue gun you can work with the gun frame only, they should get the message and there aint no risk to the bystanders

Sevigney ran the 21SF again with success. He also went back after he shot the stages and did some helmet cam work at speed for Capel to post on the GADPA site. That will be interesting.
PLease advise us when the videos are up!

NEVER shoot group w/ both your SH/WH, you will immediately know that you're the one doing wrong, not the gun!!
Besides, anybody noticed that if you take up the slack on the glock trigger before getting to the sight your groups open up a bit or is it just me?

I'm not a pro, but
1) the magwell should be perpendicular to the ground to allow the not-so-easy (w/dirty mags) exit of the mag when you press the button
2) for practice purposes, it's a good idea not to have a mag in the gun so that you can do more reloads in less time(just don't get lazy on the button press)
3) to try speeding up the first part you can do some Burkett reload, where on the beep you try to get the mag just to the edge of the magwell as fast as you can(w/par time)
what's your baseline time for the slide lock reload so that I can geta reference and improve mine

some videos from Giuseppe Todaro's site

One more thing that helped me was watching matches w/ earplugs and trying not to blink, particularly on the first shot. I found out that I was blinking even while watching other shooters!
the idea is to single plug while watching other shooters and to double plug while shooting

never let your mom leave the toilet brush in the toilet (as a sign that she's cleaning it)with the lid open if the bathroom light is broken...

just don't have your kids play with the "Hitman" game...

Yanno, I just take a long allen wrench and poke it through the little hole on the baseplate. Resting it against the back side of the inner mag, I give it a gentle but firm pull forward while squeezing inward on the mag body.
The previous poster was utterly correct, it's only hard the first time.
Good luck!

BTW I can fully disassemble a Glock, but the gen3 mags are always the hardest to disassemble

great way to have fun while teaching your subconscious to do one thing only when shtf!

recent motherboards have on board raid 1 capability, it costs the price of another Hard Drive(100$) and you're GTG, btw if you need a serious backup there are a lot of online services that for 10$ a month will backup about 20G, you can do it every night because it's incremental backup and they have an automated software
remember that important backup should be placed in different physical locations! murphy is always around the corner
mozy is one of them

The word for verbal diarrhead is logorrhea
I read the first entry this morning, and I already like it, putting your strenghts and weaknesses there for everyone to see is proper of a great man, and besides, it forces you to constantly evaluate yourself! I wish I had that ability

FPS videogames do not substitute dryfire... but, especially the more "realistic" one (GRAW,SWAT4,America's Army etc.) will teach your subconscious it needs to use peripheral vision to "survive" and of course will make your reflexes razor sharp
