New glock 17

[Shenaniguns]

^thats a CZ, not a glock

the OP was hitting the target, thats not the question...he said it shoots high...first off when someone has a problem shooting everyone automatically assumes its the shooter...and yes most of the time it is...but what if it isnt? are glock sights "zeroe'd" at 25yds? 35yds?

im just sayin...

You really have it twisted about Glocks...


I'm shooting here at 50 yards with my Glock 19 although it is a larger target than 8 inches:



You may not shoot Glocks well, but that's you and not the gun.

Use a heavier bullet....or does this only work with rifle loads?

[whtl]

I shoot targets with my Glock 17 from seven to 10 yards with no problem. Who do you want to shoot at 35 yards?

[tbc]

There is nothing wrong with shooting at 30, 50, or 100 yards. Heck I can hit a mountain at 500 yards if the bullet can travel that far before it curves to the ground. But what is the point when evaluating the accuracy of the gun? Would it be better off starting with a closer distance. This way, it easier to eliminate the human factor.

People are confusing different issues here.

Would it be a good idea for a new shooter to start in close? Yes. Does that mean he can't take shots at 35 yd. silhouettes? No.

From a legal standpoint, it may not be a good idea to engage someone at 35+ yds. Does that mean we shouldn't practice at 35+ yds.? No.

Why are you buying a gun? Are you looking for a gun fight? No.

Why are you practicing at 35+ yds.? Are you looking to shoot someone at 35+ yds.? Again, no.

I buy my guns and practice at long distances just in case I need to get into a gun fight. And when I do, the actual 3-5 yds. engagement distance will look REALLY close because I'm used to shooting at 100 yd. targets.

THAT'S why.

(Besides, I'm tired of shooting coin-sized groups at 7 yds. I need the challenge.)
