Took the new G34 for a drive yesterday. Love it. DK trigger, Dawson sights and grip tape, full length guide rod and a 12# recoil spring. Really like the Dawsons. Ran a bunch of 20 yard Bill Drills: 3.7s average with a C or 2. Blake Drill: 2.5s or better once in the groove with 1-3 C's. Bill Drill: 2.15s like clockwork. I ran like 3 at this time and one at 2.16s. Really concentrating on tracking the sight. I can get it down around 2 but it's starting to get sloppy. Did some 50 yard shooting to 2/3 IPSC steel to build confidence. Hit it around 1/2 the time. My group shooting, though improving, still leaves much to be desired. ETA: Now I've got Tennis Elbow in my right shoulder too. FML. Well at least I'm balanced now. It seemed to come on after hitting forearms hard in the gym for a couple of weeks.

Welcome to the addiction. Now say goodbye to your expendable income and time.

I just picked up a new 34 yesterday for the upcoming season. I forgot how bad stock triggers suck. I dropped my DK in there as fast as I could. Here's what did to mine: Dawson Fixed Competition Sights Zev full length guide rod & 12# recoil spring DK Trigger kit out of my G17 Grip Plug Dawson Grip Tape Dawson Mag Base Pads

Good 300 round live practice today with the G17. Sub 1.0s draws on close targets. Bill Drills in 2.10 with ease. 10 yard Blakes under 2.5s with a C or two Finally got 7 yard 4 Aces under 3.0s. Reloads are improving but still suck. El Prez in 6.00s or under with points in the mid 40's. Still good for a high B hit factor. I can run 6.0s pretty consistently just need to improve the points. Accelerator: I found I prefer to draw to the far target. I get better hits that way. Finished with drawing to 8" steel at 25yds. Tried to get it in 1.50s. Got hits probably 75% of the time. Got a 34 and some goodies on order. I'm sure that extra sight radius will make me a GM in no time.

Just buy from Dawson. They have free shipping. I just bought some comp sights from them today along with some other goodies. I think the sights were $2 cheaper on Amazon.

Got in a full hour of dry fire this morning with the Glock. Damn it feels good to hit Stoeger's target par times again. I ran through Marksmanship and some of Core Skill hitting all the times except Reloads (6.00s) and El Prez (4.50s).

The Tanfo experiment is over and I'm going back to Glock. I dry fired for a couple months with the Stock II and my times were still all about .2 seconds slower on average yesterday in live fire practice. I dry fired with the Glock this morning and my times were right back down where they belong. All my Tanfo crap is going up for sale.

I just recently started duct taping the hammer to the beaver tail.

I do my speed mode dry firing with the gun cocked and the safety on. Otherwise I can't work the trigger fast enough without resetting to meet the par time. I was also a Glock trigger slapper.

I've got a callus on my SH ring finger from this. When I first started with the gun it would get sore so I'd wrap it with duct tape. Doesn't bother me anymore.

S&B primers and 12# hammer spring? I think more light strikes are in your future.

What is that blue abomination?

I have been neglecting forearm training at the gym. Started back up again today.

Since my live fire on Tuesday I've gone back to basics in dry fire. A glaring deficiency is I don't grip the gun tight enough with my support hand. Especially after a reload. I noticed this doing El Prez on Tuesday. After the reload the gun was flying all over the place. I think it may have started after my bout with tennis elbow. I just got used to not gripping the gun tight with my WH. In any event it needs to be corrected. This week I've done Wall Drill, Slow Fire Trigger, Trigger @ Speed, Bill Drill, Blake Drill and 6R6 with no par time or my usual live fire par time. Concentrating on gripping hard throughout the entire array and reload and seeing A's. My tennis elbow is a little sore after each session but goes away pretty quick.

Same load for both. Match ammo gets plunked.

Ream it. You'll be glad you did.

This is my average also. Though I've shot some sub 4 with all alphas. I'm a high C.

Hey there's always the "Drop a mag and bend over to pick it up like a dumbass instead of just grabbing another one off your belt trick." I've never done that.

Memphis - You ain't the only one. The big tank is definitely harder to get out of the holster and on target as fast as a plastic gun. But the 25 yard shooting is dreamy. Yes I said dreamy.

With 2289 posts I'd say you have a few to spare.

Finally got in a live fire practice today with the Tanfo. Only my second time out with it and it's been a month since I last shot at all. My draws are a couple tenths slower than with the Glock. I have to really concentrate on not pulling that first DA shot low. I pulled some really low when I tried to go balls to the wall out of the holster. I was slower in pretty much everything except transitions and 25 yard Bill Drills. This gun makes distance shooting seem like you're cheating. I need more live fire practice. Dry fire can only take you so far.

You the elbow AIDS. Better cut back a little before it turns chronic. Tennis elbow is nasty.

You need to get one ordered up so I can shoot it.

Indian arrow and all that.

Just for shits and grins I ran through Anderson's drills 1-8 with the Tanfooglio. Really good 50 minute practice this morning. Everything was clicking. Stock II is starting to feel like an old friend like my Glock did. 5yd index = .8 10yd index = .8 Surrender Index = .9 Turn & Draw = 1.05 SH Index = 1.00 WH Index = 1.50 didn't push this too hard, concentrated on form Burkett's = .7 6R6 = 4.00 This felt really smooth and not out of control. Everything clicked, even the reloads.
