I have a set of "computer glasses" that work better than readers for me, the focal length being closer to the correct distance.

I bought 5 RP9 magazines for $75 shipped. I think they can be made to work. They seem a bit cheap, but if I can make them work they'll be fine for practice.

Maybe I should have said the butt twist into my weak side hand. The muzzle goes toward my weak side.

I'm not saying it isn't, but for me to contort my hand to grip like that my strong hands only really touches the grip on the backstrap, frontstrap and a bit at the heel. This is best case scenario. Using the Glock as an example I can stick my finger between my hand and the grip.

My dry fire is more like 10 minutes every other day. I'd be happy to get 3" groups at 15 yards with a duty guns. With my fingertip on the trigger, he gun twist into my strong hand under recoil. I can reduce it by stuffing my trigger finger into the trigger guard and pulling trigger with the middle pad of my trigger finger, but this bring it's own problems.

I have a Glock 21 that is about the best fit. I've considered adding a 20 slide with .40 barrel.

About a year ago I decided I would get with the times and pick up a full-sized duty guns for local matches and informal competition. I bought a P320 to try and the first time out I shot so badly I thought I was having a stroke until I put a magazine through my STI on paper. The trigger wasn't terrible in the SIG and other people shoot it reasonably well, but not me. So I shot everything I could lay hands on and tried endless variations of grip and trigger finger placement and manage to occasionally shoot half well. It doesn't help that I have ridiculously oversized hands and could easily pull a trigger where some pistol's trigger guards are located. No handgun is comfortable to me. The problem seems to be that the grip I am forced to take makes my grip inconsistent and bullet impact erratic. My best results come by maintaining a death grip despite tremors that disrupt my sight alignment. The consistent grip pressure seems to be critical in this type of gun. Further, I find that the lighter constructed and more flexible a plastic frame is, the worse I am apt to shoot it. The aforementioned SIG being among chief offenders. I am beginning to to think that I would be better off sticking with my larger frame revolvers and 1911's that minimize my awkward grip, trigger control faults and bad habits. I would to, as it would save much time, money and frustation. On the other hand, I think I would be a better shooter overall if I could master the art of combat tupperware. In addition, I have a secondary goal of using a moden, size effective pistol as a carry gun. I realize that most shooters these days transition the other directions and (what a revelation that must be) and there can't be too many dinosaurs like me left, but I'd be grateful for any advice that might help.

I picked up a slightly used TCM HC Target 51680. It is a early model with nonramped barrel. I've read through the thread, but the magazine situation is a little confusing. Since I have the full length frame without magwell, what are my options? I'd like to use STI mags as that is likely my next purchase. Has anyone tried the magazine bodies from the Remington RP9? It looks like they are being dumped since the gun is a failure.
