I like Glocks just fine, but the stock trigger sucks, period. There's a reason IPSC rules treat a Glock 19 as "Production Class" but move it to "Unlimited" the second the gun has a 3.5 lb connector (like the Glock 34) or a trigger stop. It becomes drastically easier to shoot well.<br /><br />Reduced trigger reset or striker springs are undoubtedly bad ideas for a defensive weapon, as are extended magazine releases and slide stops (accidental activation problems galore), but I can't quite see why installing a Ghost Rocket properly would inhibit proper operation of the gun, with the very minor possibility that somehow some foreign matter could get between the trigger bar and the trigger stop preventing the bar from releasing the striker (a very, very unlikely condition, indeed).<br /><br />A gun that reliably fires and misses is arguably worse than one that doesn't fire at all. I may be alone in the world on this, but getting the Glock to instinctively index in my hand and be lined up "on target" before I even look at the sights is a big challenge as opposed to a 1911 that seems to point "right" even with my eyes closed. Anything I can do to make the Glock more likely to fire on target for me seems worthwhile, even if others' mileage may vary.dc.sunsetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826161742700965939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-88364237192754057062010-03-22T19:27:32.252-07:002010-03-22T19:27:32.252-07:00As usually you bring up issues that most of us nev...As usually you bring up issues that most of us never really think about. I was lucky enough to get some instruction on CQB and Dynamic Entries at an old job i used to have. The training was fantastic and incredibly fun. What makes this type of training intense is that you know that there is another shooter behind you with a loaded weapon who is just as hyped up as you are. Scary, if the guy behind you is "That Guy".<br /><br />I have found a good way to keep my skills up is to go and shoot IDPA or some other tactical shooting sport. I just did a rifle/pistol match on yesterday (Sunday) and that was blast (and it allowed me to test out the new .223 AK-47 with red dot that I put together as a homeland defense/SHTF rifle. My Saiga AK ran like a top (which is more than I could say for some of the AR-15s that showed up.Pittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-73260521057705543642010-03-22T18:03:39.042-07:002010-03-22T18:03:39.042-07:00Doesn't sound like much fun, but it does sound...Doesn't sound like much fun, but it does sound like great training.
