After a very long week only being able to look at my new Glock 19 I got in some range time last weekend. I love this gun! I know a lot of people arent Glock fans, but this was a perfect choice for my hands! Fits it like a glove. I was sold on a compact Glock after firing my friends G23, and I'm glad I went with 9mm. Ammo expense was one of my reasons for going with 9mm. I figured if it cost that much more to shoot (with 40S&W vs. 9mm) I wouldn't practice as much as I should. And who cares if you have a .40 if you can't hit a barn with it.:rolf I also got in some good time on my Taurus .38 special. Still have some work to do on the snubby to get my groupings tighter, but I was very happy with my progress on the first day with the Glock. Here's a pic of my first mag, well at least shots 2-15. I tried a head shot on the first one and missed to the right, would've taken an ear off though!:laughing

I got better later in the day, but we only had a few targets so it wasn't really worth taking another picture with 100 holes in a target. I'm planning another trip hopefully this weekend. My plan is to shoot no less than twice a month. I've got a couple friends with enough land to have their own pistol ranges, man talk about convenient!:thumsup

In my opinion the Glock19 is the perfect size for EDC. Not too small and not too big. It's the sweet spot handgun. There is something about carrying an ultra reliable gun that give you that extra confidence. All you have to do is your part to put rounds on a target. Thanks for the report and next time try some point shooting until you can take a class that teaches it.

+1 to the above.

I've carried many different pistols in the last 20+ years, but the G19 is the best, hands down.

congrats, looks like you had fun

assuming you're aiming correctly, it looks like you are flinching (anticipating recoil)

yes, i was. once i became aware it was easier to get under control. i still have much practice to completely do away with the flinching. the four shots farthest from center was my first shots, then i became aware of what i was doing and started to get better.
