Sportsman's Guide just had hollow point 9mm ammo back in stock and was selling it for almost the same price as last year. It definitely is cooling down now.

You can't tell a woman she has too many shoes. Same principle applies to our shooting gear.

Welcome! Hope to see you on tuesdays at Rio.

The only "filing" (actually sanding) I did on the PRP Ultimate trigger kit I installed in my .40 5.25 was to the trigger stop. It went in slick and is a nice improvement. I have several XDm pistols, and the factory trigger in the 5.25 was the only one I could not stand. You had to file the prp drop in trigger? I had to file my sear for it to fit...others probably didnt but mine absolutely had to. The trigger stop needs to be filed/sanded for your own preference on how short you want your trigger reset.

Great, more people that will buy up all the remaining ammo. Lol jk. Good job!

Thanks! All my guns are set up for steel or uspsa si I cant shoot idpa...well, I can use my Kahr PM9 and see how far I can go before I give up. Lol

Thanks! This photo was taken from the thurs steel at PRG. But I also shoot on the Tuesday Night Steels at Rio Salado...just not recently because it's too hot outside.

August? D. Dimaano's friend? Hey, nice to see you here buddy! And yes, that is from PRG.

Thanks for that great advice JimmyZip.

UGH it's like an addiction problem. You wont be able to face the problem if you dont admit your addiction. Same with me, I wont admit it is me that's the problem and not the gun.

Glock magazines.

It's not really the trigger job that's the problem. For me, the problem is the Glock's different kind of hold and aim. Might be just mental but one thing for sure is it's fixable. Damn those talking heads for putting all these gun stereotypes in my head.

How to remember all this during a stressful match is my problem.

Thanks for that great advice MarkCO. I will train with it and try out the new found tips and see if my Glock disease is still curable. I may have to get rid of it if the change will be drastic to the point that it might mess up my routine for my other guns.

Lurker since 2011 but recently started shooting again so maybe I will be more active in the forums now compared to before. Action shot time:

Thank you guys for your insight. I was just so frustrated with my G34 that I tried to sell it because I admitted it's too late for me to learn a different gun. I didn't really thought about these points you mentioned. I may still try to sell it but will not be in a hurry to get rid of it specially when I see a little improvement on my part.

Low and slightly left with 3 inch group at 30 feet on paper shooting slow. Low and still slightly left with 5 inch group at 30 feet on paper when a little faster.

I had a flinch issue before and still have it from time to time specially when I panic and I get tired. I do the blank wall practice and I can see my sights go low sometimes but again, it may be because Im tired or focus was slipping. I will try to see if the trigger closer to the joint technique will work but I dont want to get used to it coz it might alter my shots using my other guns. I usually have the pad of my trigger finger a little closer to the tip.

Yep! If you take rooster's advice, you are really doing yourself a dis-service as you will be on for just one distance and trigger speed. The trigger has to be pressed straight back and with the Glock, unless you have almost perfect technique, you will get what you have found. When that trigger finger is applying a force vector that is other than straight into the center of the trigger at the point of firing, you will have disrupted the sights. The gun IS hitting where you are aiming at the point of firing, just not where you were pointing it for much of the trigger take-up. I guess I got spoiled with the short trigger job from my XDm and I am in the adjustment period of waiting to pull the Glock trigger all the way back before moving on to the next target. So many things to learn, so little time.

I was always under the impression that it is all about the grip angle and that impacts my hold and aim of the gun. And yes, I have a lot of bad habits and not so great fundamentals in shooting.

My first "steel" with the G34 was a disaster. I went thru a whole magazine on a plate rack that was set, I would say 30 feet away. I can see my shots hitting the bar a good 2 inches below the target. My rear sights are black serrated and the front sight is a Sevigny .100

My Xdm, STI Trojan and Spartan are all 9mm all with 3.5# trigger jobs. You mean timing with the trigger reset?

Also, the G34 I got had the grip reduced and that's why it fits perfect in my hands so I dont think it's the grip size.

Yes. I already shot from bench rest after I replaced my front sight with .100s and I did not have trouble hitting what I wanted to hit. I tend to shoot low using the G34. I wonder if it's the Glock grip angle or just me being used to shooting XDms that almost has the same grip as my 1911s.

Nice! I cant imagine shooting with my weak hand all day..it'll just frustrate the heck out of me.
