Competition shooting and
That seems to be one of the biggest gag lines I hear coming from people in the industry. We had a Navy Seal come in here talking about Glocks and how he had to modify his slightly because he started out as a 1911 guy and had issues with the grip angle. Recently I purchased a Glock 17 because it’s still widely used in our local Law Enforcement community. I have a Glock 19 because I got tired of my Sig Sauer guns rusting out on my in the Summer but it did take me awhile to find the correct grip. Luckily I had an instructor in here that gave me some pointers. Handguns need to modified for the shooter if the shoot wants to be proficient with it. I watched a Bob Vogel DVD about Mastering the IDPA and he mentioned several things he did that helped make him a more accurate shot.
Bob Vogel uses a Glock 34 in his competition shooting and he is also a Police Officer. One of the great things about Glock firearms is many of the Glock magazines work in various Glocks of the same Caliber. I personally don’t like Glocks but I have a lot of respect for the design and I do agree that they are tough guns that have a proven track record. If I was deployed and had to be issued a Sidearm it would defanitely be a Glock. I’m a big fan of the LWRC gas gun designs but having to deal with a standard AR15 or an M16 and all of that gun maintenance and then another firearm. I don’t want another gun to clean, just give me a Glock.
