Hopefully not a duplicate thread; I did a search on the site via google and nothing really came up... might make for good conversation!?
I've been working on rifle skills in hopes of putting my toe in the 3-gun water this year. Even built a gun for it. (1-4x Vortex, 18" WOA barrel, rifle stock, trigger is SSA-E).
I suck at shooting groups with it. Even w/ decent ammo (eg Black Hills w/ 69gr SMK) I can't get under 1.5-2" @ 100 with any consistency. I had one group w/ 4 rounds under 0.7, but a flier opened it to ~1.5". I also had one 4" group @ 300. The good groups "felt" good... good shot calls, reticle steady thoughout the shot, followthrough, etc. the bad groups, well, I can tell I'm forcing each shot, not consistently working the trigger, etc.
I haven't bothered with a lot of load development yet because I know it's me, not the gun/ammo. I can see it when I dryfire... I cannot consistently break the shot w/o the reticle dancing.
How do you all work the trigger? Where do you place your finger? Is there a way considered the "right" way?
What are you doing with your thumb? are you using the grip to pull the gun to your shoulder, or letting the support hand do all that?
When standing and shooting fast, I'm using the tip of my finger. My hand is rotated so that I can -almost- touch the safety with the side of my thumb. I can pretty consistently break the shot w/o disturbing the sights. This same grip does not translate prone. I think things like elbow position, how square I am to the gun, etc change, and I feel bound up on the trigger (to the point of making my wrist hurt), so I find myself putting the trigger almost in the first joint. I get the best prone results this way, but my trigger finger ends up touching the gun on the left side.
Is it ok to have two largely different trigger techniques depending on position?
I'm getting frustrated. I don't even see wasting ammo at the range until I am happy with my dryfire. Some days I think I might as well use my glock for 100yd stuff.........
I know there are a million other variables (prone position, rests/bags, breathing, NPA, etc), but I thought this could be enlightening. At least I got to vent.

If I'm reading you right you are grouping the gun in field positions i.e. standing, kneeling, or prone. The only way I can tell what the rifle is doing is to take me out of the equation by shooting off bags and a solid table.

I always used the $20 Uncle Mike's kydex for 3gun and Production. It rides somewhat high so it is out of the way and comfortable, and it's cheap:)

Run what you have for now and have fun. Right now, it doesn't matter what gun you have. In six months you will know what you really want. If you decide to stick with Glock, I'd get a 34 or 35. But who knows, you may decide you need an STI.

Constantly.

I like the standard Uncle Mike's holster for 3 gun. Also, I would recommend the Choate shell caddies over the CCW caddies. They hold 6 shells and are about $5 apiece cheaper. I found all of mine at Midway.
-
I like a plain-Jane kydex uncle mikes holster. The DOH would definitely have my vote if you want more of a race setup.

I can't find any problem.

While In the local gun shop a couple weeks ago I spot an Uzi on the shelf. I walk over, pick it up, cock it and dry-fire it. After putting it back up I said (half to myself), "I'd take an AR over that any day." The 300+ pound expert in the corner says to me, "Yeah, but nothing beats an Uzi for clearing rooms." I just said I wasn't planning on clearing any rooms anytime soon and left.

I have never had any problem with Federal in 9mm, .40 or .45. The only brand I have had trouble with is PPU; the factory primers seemed to "stretch" out of the case and the primer pockets seem very tight.

With the mods you have done to the Glocks, Limited and Limited 10 and open are your only options. With the Para, you might be legal in Production (along with Limited, L10, and open), but don't take my word for it...I don't know about the divisions in SC. Here is a link to the Production division gun list.
Unless it is an LDA it won't be legal.
-
Limited, minor PF with the 34, and Limited or L-10 with the Para. I'm not sure how many rounds you can get in a 14.45 in a 140mm mag, but I would imagine it is at least 16, so you should be pretty well off in Limited.
-
I am experiencing some issues with my 1100. After firing, the bolt comes back and stays locked open. It doesn't come quite far enough back to let the next shell out of the mag tube. I have replaced the o-ring and the gas ports are clear. Any ideas? Thanks.

I want to invite everybody to our first IDPA match at The Addiction in Stamford TX. We have been doing USPSA for a while but this will be our first IDPA match and it will also be a classifier match. There will also be a rifle/shotgun side match. We will be hosting regular IDPA matches on the fourth Saturday of each month. Come out and shoot. Thanks, Jerome

1 Allow 15 rounds in production.
2 If you really want to grow revolver have a speedloader division because there are tons of 38 revolvers out there that people can start with without having to have a 625 or 610 to be competive.
3 Lump Single Stack and L10 together. Maybe with the 8 major 10 minor staying because there is no advantage (real or precived) to shooting L10 minor now.

I did see a guy shoot a perfect double at a match (I saw the edges of the bullet hole move when he shot the second time). But even though I told the RO it was still called a miss. It was definatly one of those prefect doubles that was called a miss.
On a different note I worked a major match and the stage I worked had clamshell targets and several people wanted that second shot that was missing a grease ring from passing through the no-shoot. They didn't get it.

I put the ZEV 2.5lb connector and ZEV competition spring kit in mine. Spent $25 and greatly smoothed and lightened the trigger pull.
