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?

..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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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
A Carry Gun Poll For Idpa Shooters
in IDPA Shooting
Posted
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
