Headed out to pick up my model 40 today

Could just be those Crappy sights messing with you.

I picked up a Glock 40 last week and like it.  Good feel, good balance.  The iron sights need to be changed out and I haven't decided whether I will put a red dot/reflex sight on it.  I got the G40 as a woods gun so the red dot isn't that important.  It fits perfectly in my HPG OKB so I can access it quickly if I had to. Picked it up from a local gun shop for less than $700. That was a good price considering a different gun shop near me was selling it for $839.

I handload so I am experimenting with different loads. It's a tad embarrassing but I'm having a bit of trouble shooting the G40 accurately. That will change, by hood or by crook. I can shoot my Ruger Toklat .454 Casull  far more accurately than the G40, at least at this point.  That says more about me than it does about the G40 which I think will be tack driver once I iron out the accuracy issue.

It really is a great gun.

First off shoot 180 grain loads through this entire process.

Start out shooting at 5 yards. Off hand.  Focus to shoot the smallest group possible. Do not move to 10 yards  until you reach the accuracy threshold you are satisfied with.

Move back 5 yards and repeat.

Always end the practice session on high note.

What does this tell you? simple how well you are working the trigger.

What should you expect?

I can run 10 rounds at 5 yards in about 10-13 seconds and have a 1.5" group.

You will continue to enjoy it, it is a great hunting gun.

I have been carrying mine as my only firearm when pig hunting but the pigs have not cooperated so far.

I have a big Glock dealer close to me and was able to use a GSSF Certificate and got mine OTD for $643.

excellent and I really like the gun and shooting it is allot of fun. I am looking forward to deer hunting next year with it.
