I always thought it would be fun to enter a pistol match. I used to shoot in the BPCR matches in Phoenix, but when I moved up here, I am hours away from any matches.
An indoor range about 45 miles from me has rimfire, target, and GSSF matches each week. Since I work graveyard shift, the only match available with my schedule was the GSSF indoor match. But, I didn't have a Glock.
I ended up buying a G29, which is the sub-compact 10mm, for woods carry. Great little pistol that is amazingly accurate with my reloads. Not a good choice for GSSF, I discovered...
I did very well at the shorter distances, but trying to get the pistol back on target and acquire a good sight picture at 25yds in 1.5 seconds is very, very difficult.
I shot a 468 out of 500 and was pretty embarrassed with my 30ft and 75ft groups...
But, it was fun and the range people and other shooters were as nice as could be. I'll be back for the next match next month. I may even look into a 9mm so as to not embarrass myself.
