I think he was running reloads. Guess i well just see what gun I can get a better deal on.

It may have been the guys ammo or improper cleaning. I am pretty sure i well end up with glock 34 or an xdm 5.25. I feel like those are my best options in my price range

What other guns would y'all reccomend I like the xdm 5.25 but this weekend I saw one have major issues cycling and the price tag Is kinda higher then i would like. I like 1911 style pistols two but am trying to stay with 9mm due to cost.

The main reason Im leading towards a 17 is because i can later mod it to an open gun if I decide to. And I'm used to the grip angle. Also the 17 is available locally for me.

The way I understood the rules is that as long as its a factory part which both of those are manufactured by glock. I may just buy a stock gun and slowly add on to it. What are most peoe running for theirs sights on glocks I was look at the true glow tfo.

Okay thanks I well do that next match. Also I Plan on buying a glock 17 to compete with, I was thinking of ordering it from glockmeisters, what would y'all suggest upgrading? I was thinking the sights, extended mag release and slide lock lever, along with a stainless steel recoil assembly. What are y'all thoughts on this? I well grip tape the frame once I get it.

That would explain the three failures to engages. I think though after this I'm going to purchase my own pistol, I was shooting my dads. I'm looking at purchasing a glock 17 for production knowing that I can later update the gun to an open division shooting 9mm major, but for know i well stick with production.

I had shot 4 steel challenge matches preveously and had done a lot of practice with a co2 airsoft gun so I had an idea of what to expect, but once the timer goes its easy to forget your plan you had made up ahead of time.

Well this Saturday I shot my first match. It had 5 stages and I had a blast. I shot a ruger sr9 in production class. Over all I shot decent though i was limited by only having 3 mags, but luckily they let me load the last one to capacity though it still made several stages much more difficult knowing I didnt have any spare ammo for misses. I made several rookie mistakes including 3 failures to engage due to bad preparation and stage planning, a lot with shooting two fast in the qualifier stage which was "front sight". Over a though I shot decent I noticed that my bigges issue was mental, I would relax and either forget to thoroughly check or go out of order and end up leaving targets. Or in the case of front sight I would get to relaxed on the middle target and loose focus on the sights and get misses. Over all though it was a blast and I plan on shooting some more matches.
