...and I liked it.
So I bought it BNIB Monday and it got to me on Wednesday. I went to the FFL and paid the $20 to pick it up, $30 for ammo on the way there, and $23 for cleaning supplies. This was my first handgun that I personally owned so I had to get all the good stuff for it. I took it home, cleaned it, lubed it, put it away. The weather has been rainy since Thursday so I had no way to actually go to the range. The only one near me is an outdoor one so while I knew the Glock could take it... I didn't feel like it lol.
My trigger finger kept itching and I finally saw my chance this morning to go since the weather was clear enough and I had a few hours before the rain started. I grabbed my gun, 50 rounds of 115gr American Eagle, and a few targets then ran out the door. I go to the range and get my magazines loaded and then go hang up my target on the 25 yard tires. I return to the bench where my gun was and figure I might as well try a few 25 yard shots.
I haven't actually shot a handgun in 2 years and never in my life fired a Glock up until this point. I was actually surprised... My first 2 shots hit inside the 9 ring of 100 yard rifle target. The next 2 were actually on the bullseye and the rest were inside the 8. The longer I shot or the faster I shot I could actually see a very distinct 45 degree angle to the bottom left corner.
I decided to move up a little with my last 20 rounds and stand about 10 yards away from the target. I put the majority of them inside the 8 ring then it started drifting that SAME 45 degree angle towards the bottom left corner. I had 1 or 2 fliers because for some reason I jerked and it went top right bullseye so I will pretend I meant that...
My conclusion is the gun is amazing. It is far more accurate than I am right now. The trigger on it is actually pretty decent and I had no issues at all with it. Recoil is fairly tame... I have fired guns that were a LOT snappier than this so I am happy with it in that area. The fact that I did NOT miss the target at all and kept them all inside a human size area even at 25 yards means a lot to me right now because I couldn't do that with the XD my friend had. Once I correct my lower left drift I could easily see a ragged hole at 25 yards for me. I gotta say as it stands I think my money is well spent. I had NO failure of ANY type with the ammo I used. No bulging, no FTE, no FTF, no limp wrist... nothing. I know it was only 50 rounds and that is nothing to get excited about but this IS just my first impression you know...
