I shoot a Glock 27, in IDPA & USPSA production, and it is my primary carry gun during the warmer months of the year. During the cooler months, I transition to a Glock 20 for carry and shoot limited w/it. Shooting the guns I carry, makes the matches just that much funner. Good shooting, Jay

RangerE32, I also made the transition from SIG to Glock; my case a P226 to a G34, in 1999. Stick w/it; it only gets better. ..where you a Ragnar out of Regt? Jay Shebuski A 1/75 84-86

..a double tap, from one of the other threads here. But, I shoot what I carry...a Glock 27 or a 20. I shoot the monthly matches, and maybe a State IDPA match, once a year. Great opportunites to learn new skills by watching and asking some of the more skilled shooters "how's you do that?" -HA. Good shooting. Jay

I shoot IDPA/GSSF/IPSC w/the guns I carry: -summer; Glock 27 -fall/cooler weather; Glock 20 Seems to make the most sense and actually makes it funner for me to shoot. Jay

Rich, If your military, some gun shops will give you the mil/LE price for a Glock they have on the counter, which is a pretty good deal. If your deploying..there are also, quite a few 19s being used, in Iraq; pass downs from RIP/TOA units & other units that have been issued them. I won't go into who has them etc, but not a bad idea to get a 19 pre-deployment to train on and possibly pick one up in theatre, persuant to your commander. Jay

Big K, ..welcome to the club! I'm just starting in USPSA also, not a Marine..rather Army & still in. These USPSA/IPSC guys definately have this art form down (HA). I only wish SOMEONE had introduced it to me when I first came in..in the early 80s. I learned, perhaps like you, that we were 20 yrs behind these cats and I didn't even know it. Just wanted to congratulate you on having an "open mind", as many of us get schooled @ our 1st match and then never come back. I'm working on a production rating now myself and plan to enter Limted w/a Glock 20 soon, when I develope the load. Wish you the best...good shooting, Jay

Ghost, I carry a Glock 20C w/double tap 180 gr Gold Dots. I love the gun, but I have also taken the time to shoot it quite often. ...shooting a .40 180 gr Gold Dot @ 1250 fps and getting the muzzle rise similar to a 9mm 124gr @ 1150 is a definate bonus..for me. I also have a Glock 20 and have been able to do the comparison work between the 2 guns. ..they're "both" loud (HA). Hearing protection is a good thing to have. ..the C model does not blind me @ night. ..the "bad guy" also does not know my gun is ported, which i can use as an advantage. Recommend you try a C model, then make the choice of what you want. Good Shooting, Jay

RSO, New guy here. I tried shooting Precision 9mm bullets through my 34. They shot GREAT, but I noticed a build-up of, should I say plastic/polymere, in the barrel. The stuff wouldn't come out when using a bronze brush or Hoppes. I ended up using a circular cut green scratch pad on a push-tip... but it was definately there...and tough to get out. I wrote the manufacturer and asked them if they had identified the same thing, in Glocks, and whether in their opinion this would raise chamber pressures and possibly cause a problem. ..they didn't respond and I stopped using the bullets. I know there are quite a few guys running precision bullets in their Glocks,..and as I said, they shot great. I just stopped using them after I noted the build-up as I didn't want to get hurt or ruin my gun. Jay

Chuck New guy here on the forum, but I shoot a 27 in IDPA/GSSF. I use 22 mags for reloads, but I start w/the 27 mag (ie 9 rd) w/a peirce +1 mag extension (ie gives me 10 rds). If the stage has multiple strings, I will have to start w/a 22 or 19 mag, in the gun, on the later strings. I've gotten some funny looks @ a couple State IDPA matches, from ROs, and had 1 individual make a point that I should be shooting ESP, instead of SSP, w/that set-up. Not alot of us "little gun" shooters out there, so sometimes you have to talk to the RO, if there is a question. I usually carry my rule book around w/me. So far it's worked. Good shooting, Jay
