Well, the G19 seems to be working just fine...lol...
Took the new (and newly cleaned and lubed) Glock 19 out for its first range day this morning. I gave it 26 magazines' worth of ammo, and it handled it without a complaint!
It took me a few rounds to get the "drop in the bucket" but I did pretty well for having a new gun, and new a "style" of gun. My former instructor seemed to think I did ok.
As we all know, I have oddball eyes and have to do weird things to get the shot where I want it to go, but I think these sights are not going to have to be radically adjusted like my others have been....what a nice surprise! It's still too early to say for sure on the sights, but I think they were pretty good as is.
The recoil is what got to me last summer when I tried this gun. I just couldn't handle it, and it hurt my hand. It's a feisty gun, for sure, but I can shoot it now. I love the big boom, and the little bit of snap! And the fire coming out the front!
The trigger was fine....I'm not experienced enough to know much about a trigger, except to know I've shot some guns with really nice ones, and this one wasn't horrible. Once I got used to the little dingus in the middle of it, I forgot it was there and carried on shooting. I could feel/hear the reset, still a somewhat new concept for me.
I love the new gun, and I'm happy to finally have the one I wanted in the first place, last summer when I began the long hunt for a 9mm gun! I had to go around the block, up the alley, and around the corner, but I ended up at the G19 again. Funny how that worked out, isn't it?
