Picked up my G29 Today :)

[Z ME FLY]

Hey everyone!
I am so happy, I just picked up my G29 today! I went to the range in Vacaville to go shooting.

I have a question, it's probably just me. I was shooting the bullseye target from about 15-20 feets since this is my first time shooting the g29. I can hit the middle bullseye with almost every shot but when I move it out more, I seem to shoot down and to the right? I tried to use my trigger finger a different way. Any Calguns guys going to a range soon that would like to help me out?

Thanks!

are you shooting left handed?

[Z ME FLY]

No I am shooting right handed. This isn't my first time shooting either but I am no expert at this. I have shot the G20 along with glocks and xds in 9mm, .40, .45 and didn't have a problem with the shooting.

I shoot my M&P ok at 10 yards ( 2" group) but when I move the target to 25 yards then the group expand direct proportionly to 5 ".

Hey Tiko,
I sent you a PM about your question. I guess maybe I just need some practice with my G29 and I plan on taking a class or two so I get learn more of the basics.

Taking a class is key.

But also consider that you have a subcompact Glock with a barrel length of 3.78 in. Subcompacts are more meant for close contact defense, therefore the range is more effective under 7 yards...in real life situations.

You can keep practicing 15-20 feet all day long and may hit your taget. Also, the 10mm recoil may play in a factor also.

Have fun at the class!

Hey Greg thanks for the info because the 15-20 feet is where I am hitting my target and then I push it out a little more and then my targets are way off. It was my first time shooting the G29, I have shot the G20 before but I do plan on taking the NRA Basic Pistol class

I did have loads of fun shooting!

[Greg-Dawg]

It's all about fun baby!

Thanks for the insight on the 10mm...I'm thinking of picking up the G20 later this year.

[Z ME FLY]

Yeah the recoil isn't bad at all, when you get the 10mm go to doubletap for the HD/SD ammo and georgia arms "canned heat" for the practice ammo.

The recoil is not too bad in a G29.
I was surprised actually.
That class will help a good deal.
Have fun.

low and left(rt handed shooter)

You probably have a little bit of a flinch at the very end of your trigger press. This is the most common culprit of low and left, try some snapcap drills, once you hit a snapcap analyze yourself... if the muzzle dips you know you are anticipating the shot/recoil. That's my advice. If you need me to elaborate further just send me a PM. The other calgunners here can vouch for my credentials. Good shooting and remember practice perfect makes perfect.-Tony
