My gun is weird or its me. At 25 yards I get POA/POI with a .200 front sight and Sevigny rear. My gun shoots low. My load is 3.8 solo 1000 under a 147 xtreme plated bullet, PF 135. From what I've red most shoot high. How does the gun shoot with stock sights?

I used a pair, good sight picture, but for me, I found that my second shots/splits are not as accurate. First shot and transitions no problem. For some reason, I don't pickup the shorter front sight well. I'm doing better with the taller front sight and deeper notch of the Sevigny sights.

Great info. Thanks for putting this together. I'm new to practical shooting, but have been practicing optometry for 15 years. In my professional opinion it is worthy to be submitted. You have posted lots of gems/pearls.

The reply on their sponsor forum on Glocktalk was it is not extended. Here is there response: "They do not have elongated tips.. we feel that an elongated has too much potential to pierce primers. They are in the machining stage as we speak. Once they are done they'll go out to get the same slick coating we are using on our new connectors. "

I get bad slide bite and grip really high. My hands aren't big, but the flesh between my thumb and index finger is quite meaty. I just started using a Grip Force Adapter. Just getting used to it. It lengthens the trigger pull slightly and changes how the gun indexes.

I feel its easier to start with the Glock in SSP til you fully learn the game. I just started IDPA this past April and went with a Glock for SSP. I do have both platforms, but since I use a Glock for CCW I figured get more trigger time/practical practice with that while I learn the game. I do love the 1911 trigger and potential accuracy. My first competitive shooting was with traditional bullseye, my other pistol competition has been Glock sponsored GSSF matches. I am now learning the balance of speed and accuracty. My slow bullseye accuracy did not transfer over to fast IDPA accuracy. Totally different games. I am pushing the faster side and notice my accuracy is slowly catching up. Learning to shoot faster. The other part is planning each stage/learning the game. I am just now getting comfortable and relaxed. Walk throughs used to confuse me. Are both pistols 100% reliable? At our club matches the guns with the most jams are the 1911's. These are mostly stock. There is one new shooter that insist on using his 1911, but every match he has some kind of reliability problems which ultimately affect his mental game. He's always close to the bottom. Go with the Glock. I shoot a G19 and use a T-shirt as a cover garment.

Just did my first classifier today, made sharpshooter. Started my first IDPA match this past May. I'm excited, hopefully I can make my first sanctioned match the end of this month. Florida Triple Crown.
