Gather round, kids, I have a story about an epic quest. A quest to make a Glock shootable in the hands of a guy who cut his teeth on revolvers and 1911's, who try as hard as he could, just couldn't get a Glock to do what he wanted it to. No matter how many thousands of rounds he put down range, no matter how many instructors he had coach him, he would consistently shoot groups triple the size at any given range with a Glock as he would with a revolver. He liked the simplicity of the Glock, he liked how easy it was to maintain, he liked the capacity...he just couldn't get the accuracy out of it that he wanted.
So, last summer I had Charlie (Charlie Co) do a trigger job. More details here: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...review-charlie-company-trigger-job-glock.html
Then I procured a grip adjust that changes the grip angle to that of the 1911. One of these doo-dads: HOME
...and then I promptly forgot about it and let it sit in the safe for about 5 months. Yeah, I know. I didn't expect a lot of difference, and frankly thought it was going to be a Don Quixote story. I was wrong.
That is a 30 round group, 29 of which are in 3.9", 24 of which are in 2.4" group. Freehand, less than half a second between shots, 3 strings of 10. The one flier is 100% my fault because I wasn't ready for how short and light the followup shot was going to be at first. This was at 7 yards at ITP today using American Eagle 180gr FMJ.
This is, by far, the best I've ever shot a Glock.
The head shots were with a rental FNS-40 for comparison purposes. I'll do a write up on the FNS when I have more time, but in a nutshell the double action was pretty heavy and the higher bore axis made is snappier than the Glock, but the sights are really good, single action trigger is good, and its accurate, especially given its the first time I ever touched one.
I plan to get a Gripforce for my duty Gen 4 Glock as well, but since its a duty gun I can't have a trigger job on it due to dept regs. It'll be interesting to see how much difference there is between stock, stock + gripforce vs Charlie Trigger + gripforce.
