I made the jump to the dark side

I made the jump to the dark side with the purchase of a new Glock 34 9mm. Up untill now I wasn't a fan of Glock, so my first 9mm was a Beretta 92FS. It is a very nice gun and I really love shooting it. My son and son-in-law are both Glockites and they never miss a chance to tell me how great they are. After a few years of browbeating, I succumbed to the dark side.

I had fired my son's Model 35 .40 and I did pretty well with it. Actually it is his wife's gun and she outshot us that day.:crying:Not wanting a .40, I opted for the Model 34 in 9mm.

The Glock is quite a bit different from the Beretta. The trigger, for one thing. The Glock appears to jump a bit more and I think that it is the difference in weight (about 10 oz). I've been dry-firing it to get used to the trigger. The last time out I shot 5 of 5 steel plates (8") at about 40' and I thought "hey, I can do this." That was just before I missed 4 straight. :tongueout: I then thought "no, you can't."

I'm sure it is all trigger operator. I shot some paper and sure enough, low and left. After some work I would shoot 3 or 4 out of 5 most of the time. With the 92FS I usually get 4 of 5. More practice is on the schedule. And lots of dry-firing.

I've shot about 750 rounds and have not had a single problem. I like the gun and I am glad that I purchased it.

And hanging out here is great, too.:wavey:
