Great site. I've been reading the posts for the past few days and have found a wealth of info. Hopefuly you can help me out. I started shooting at 8yrs old (22), hunting at 12 (carrying 243). Qualified Sharlshooter in the Navy with a 45 you could hear rattle if you shook it. I've enjoyed my S&W 586 for quite a few years. Several years ago I bought a Glock 9mm and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if I was in the barn. Sold the Glock to a friend of mine and he did very well with it (I was the problem not the gun). Then Nov 1 got invited to a IPSC match and went to WATCH. The friend I went with convinced me to use his spare equipment (XD40). Turns out I shot very well (very slow so score wasn't great) and had a great time. Now the question: is it normal to have accuracy problems with the Glock and do very well with an XD40 (which I had never shot before)? If this is a common problem which gun makers should I be looking at while searching for a gun to use for competition? Thanks In advance for the help. So far I havn't been able to locate places where I can rent and try out several pistols.
