Went to the range today and decided to work on controlled pairs. To make it more fun, I inserted dummy rounds randomly throughout the magazine to practice clearing malfunctions and to make sure I was not jerking the pistol. Overall, a productive day; I learned to lean in a bit more on controlled pair sets, as the force from a G19 (believe it or not) is enough to put me on my heels if I am doing this activity. Also learned how to remove the magazine catch spring, which is tedious with the GLOCK Armorer's Tool.
I remember watching a video of Jerry Miculek some time ago. He said that somewhere around 100,000 rounds, something happens. I can't remember what he said exactly, and I think I am coming up to that round count.
It's interesting because as a kid, my family did not allow anything that resembled a gun. Upon my 18th birthday, I was able to finally purchase my first firearm, and from there, I have put a great deal of time into shooting, both as a civilian and as a infantryman in the Army. I gotta say, my folks don't know what they're missing. Shooting is something I find both comfortable and enjoyable. Every time I step into the range, I have feelings of unresolved tension, but once I am finished, I feel light as a feather, all tensions and anxieties have faded.
I'm proud to be a GLOCK owner, and to be able to visit the range as often as I do. I look forward to introducing the world of firearms to my son in the future. Here's to my fellow men and women who enjoy firearms and shooting.
