$350.51 AND you can keep my girlfriend. She thinks I have too many guns anyway.
Not a chance drewh14, I have a wife, that's bad enough. I could never deal with a girlfriend!!!! *S*
Mike, I notice that the 115 Remington stacks against the inside of the Mag on my Hi Power. Not all the mags do, but some of them. I thought that might be the problem with the Glock.
I did shoot 20 rounds of 147 Winchester and had no jams.
I'm going to have to go back to the range with this gun soonl
Is this a 4th Gen? If it is you will want to get the 02 recoil spring from Glock.
I was shooting a 3d Generation Model 17 with my left hand in a two hand hold.
Guess none of us is perfect afterall. I'll keep carrying my Smith 640 .357
Like everything, there is a lot to learn about Glock. What always sounded like the perfect gun from all you Glock guys, now has issues with recoil springs, grips, barrels needing soaking in oil etc etc.
You bought a used gun with an unknown history, it doesn't run right and it's a Glock problem? That's almost as crazy as saying M&P's suck.
But m&p's do suck out of the box in MA
But m&p's do suck!
FIFY.
To me, even free-state M&Ps have issues. I bought a free-state M&P45 and it had a mushy reset until I installed an Apex kit. Much better now. I can actually feel and hear where the reset is.

Well I took the new GLOCK to the range today and watched it constantly hang up and jam on Remington 115 grain FMJ.
After all the talk about how great they are, now I get the joke. All you people already found out they suck, and so you try and lure in people like to a snipe hunt for fools!!
Well ha ha, OK, good joke, I got it. I have a $500 joke sitting in my safe.
I will try it one more time. Maybe with one of you GLOCK guys with me like Boston Asphalt or someone who knows their way around a GLOCK. Find out if it's me, the gun or the ammo.
I've had trouble with the overall length of Remington Green Box 115 Grain FMJ bullets in other guns. Some of my Hi Powers don't like that little bit of length in their magazines.
I'll keep you all informed how it goes.
BY THE WAY.
The new little Kahr .380 that went with us today to the range was making 50 yard shots on the metal gong I brought with any shot I slowed down and tried to hit. It's a real shooter. It too was jamming and choking almost half the time. By the time I put 200 rounds through her like the manual said, it was shooting up a storm with no jams on my final 6 magazines. I will say I think the Kahr is a much more elegant firearm than the big fat Glock.
Flame on gents, my Smith & Wesson's shoot rings around this Glock 17.
If my expectations were high, it was because all you Glock people made me feel like I bought a majic gun.
As for limp wristing.... very possible. I shoot heavy snub revolvers with a nice loose grip. Maybe I've been shooting wheel guns so long long I broke my GLOCK GRIPPER! *S* LOL

Not trying to drift this thread further astray or cause a 3rd glock vs M&P thread to be locked in day but...
I have an APEX RAM in one of my M&Ps (a 9L dedicated to competition with an APEX comp kit in it). I chrono'd a bunch of loads last weekend and the comparison was dramatic going from my full size with a LaRocca trigger and it. The reset was much crisper and much more pronounced. However, after shooting it in an IDPA or USPSA match and I'd be like "what reset?". If you're actually shooting it at speed you don't really notice the difference.
The only time I've had a Glock jam is when I put a 9mm conversion bbl in my G22, and I fired it one handed. As soon as I switched to a proper grip, it was running again. I hook the front of the trigger guard with my weak-hand index finger, with both my thumbs forward.

I was wondering.. is that considered an unusual or incorrect grip? Because I much prefer to hook the weak-hand index figger on the front of the trigger gaurd on m P226. Heck, there's even serrations there that seem purposely placed for just this kind of a grip.
I feel like it really stabilizes my grip and allows me to hold the gun without undue pressure. It also feels like I can control the gun recoil and reacquire the target quicker.
Thoughts?

I was told that with your finger on the front of the trigger guard you could end up pulling in the direction of your off hand... true? not true? needs more practice to not do it?
