Switching from Glock

[Spiffums]

I shot a friends M&P 45 with apex trigger kit. I chewed the middle of the target out and I couldn't believe that I was shooting that well. I don't have a gun that I shoot that accurately and it got me thinking. If I shoot his gun that well and I could build one just like it should I dump the glocks and go to the M&P.

I seem to do the same thing every time I shoot someone else's gun.

I have heard others have the same thing happen to them.

Most people will unknowingly be much more careful about sight alignment and get a surprise break on the trigger because they aren't used to where the trigger breaks.

Once they get one for themselves and start shooting it for a while, they suddenly don't do so well. Because they aren't focusing on the fundamentals as closely.

I would not dump anything until I got one for myself and shot it for a while to make sure it wasn't just a "someone else's gun" event.

At least try to shoot it several different times and see if it keeps holding true.

Good advice. I've experienced and seen same.

Then you'll shoot a PPQ and dump the M&Ps.
Then you'll shoot a CZ and dump the PPQs.

To point out the obvious, make sure you evaluate all of your options before diving head first into one manufacturer (no, it's not a platform).

I've considered dumping Glock based on the G41 release alone. I'm embarrassed to have praised them for so long and a .380 was what they came up with as a thanks. No thanks.

I didn't dump Glocks completely, but started with an M&P 45 and now carry an M&P 9 FS. I much prefer the grip angle and design, as well as the smooth faced trigger of the M&P over the Glock. I still carry a 26 as a BUG, but would rather be putting rounds down range thru the Smith.

They are a business - the Lcp and bg380 have been the best selling handguns for the past few years - they are just following the pack and I bet will make a KILLING.

Don't forget, we are the minority in the firearms community - most will be happy w a 380 pocket pistol and a dpms ar.

Do I wish they made a single stack 9mm shield killer? Absolutely, but still can't ever imagine relacing my 26 for EDC.

I have purchased several new guns that I was unfamiliar with (aside from some in-store dry fire) and have never found my self becoming less proficient the more I shot it. This statement goes against all conventional wisdom, the more you shoot it the less accurate you'll be!?!? Maybe you just aren't taking your range time serious enough.

You should be embarrassed that you even posted something as stupid as this
