That's usually caused by "heeling", which means you are slightly anticipating recoil and tightening your grip with your shooting hand just prior to the gun discharging.

I guess not huh?TheFactor wrote:Thanks, I'd probably enjoy it to :)
Although qualification for my permits would be more entertaining to see on video it involves shooting behind barricades , draw shooting, shooting from the prone position and timed exercises. I think my least favorite is doing push-ups then jogging in place for 3 minutes , sprinting the last minute and then drawing and shooting lol .
Your probably right especially with the 45acp since it has a little more punch .JBE wrote:That's usually caused by "heeling", which means you are slightly anticipating recoil and tightening your grip with your shooting hand just prior to the gun discharging.

That and the smaller frame of the 30S, especially if you normally shoot full-size Glocks.TheFactor wrote:Your probably right especially with the 45acp since it has a little more punch .
Good point and that was my first trip to the range with my 30S . That's one that I did a trigger undercut on to give my hand/ fingers more room . I do have a G27 and 23 so I am use to a smaller frame Glocks . But that 30S does have a little more kick although shoots very nice .JBE wrote:That and the smaller frame of the 30S, especially if you normally shoot full-size Glocks.
Is the frame/grip of the 30S slimmer than the 27 and 23?TheFactor wrote:Good point and that was my first trip to the range with my 30S .

Try drifting you rear sight to the left and try lighter bullets. Heavy slow bullets stay in the barrel longer until the pistol has started into the recoil curve and shoot high where as light fast bullets zip through the barrel and will shoot lower.
I find that especially when I shoot a .45 ACP in the 1911, all of the recoil comes straight back into my hand, like a punch or push. I'm much more accurate with that than a 9mm which I find snaps up but not back into me. But I mostly shoot .357 Mag, which I guess would be in the middle of those to recoil mechanics?JBE wrote:That's usually caused by "heeling", which means you are slightly anticipating recoil and tightening your grip with your shooting hand just prior to the gun discharging.
The grip is a little thicker I believe on my G30S but on the my G27 I can only get 3 fingers on the grip without mag extension which I don't care for I'd rather have my pinky hanging off . The G23 is a full grip . Like I mentioned I did a trigger guard under cut on my 30s for more room .JBE wrote:Is the frame/grip of the 30S slimmer than the 27 and 23?
I had to make some minor adjustments transitioning from the fatter grips of the Gen 3's to the slimmer grips of the Gen 4's.
I haven't been back to the range yet with it but my rear sight was off from the factory and centered it back . I was shooting 230grain rounds though .RanCoWeAla wrote:Try drifting you rear sight to the left and try lighter bullets.

1911's are usually heavier, which helps lessen perceived/felt recoil and a quality 1911 can help mask flaws in basic shooting mechanics that will become obvious when a shooter transitions to a different gun platform.Strong-Dog wrote:I find that especially when I shoot a .45 ACP in the 1911, all of the recoil comes straight back into my hand, like a punch or push.

Thanks ! It was something I didn't really want to do but felt I had to or sell it . Loved it so decided to do the trigger guard undercut. Great choices the 17 and 26 are great guns . That's a great feature with Glocks being able to run different mags as long as there the same caliber unless there a single stack 45 . I have a 33 round 9 mm and I think it's a 22 round in 40cal can't remember there in my drawer lol . Can't wait to run some rounds threw them .JBE wrote:Nice job on the trigger guard.
When I first started shooting Glocks everyone and their brother told me that just had to have a 19. Those same people had to modify their 19's to fit their hands comfortably. Funny thing is, the first time I picked one up, I hated the way it felt. However, the 17 and 26 both fit my hand perfect and those are the ones I shoot and carry. Like you, I can only get 3 fingers on the 26 and I hate mag extensions. If I want more rounds, I'll feed it 19 or 17 mags. In fact, when I carry my 26, my spare mag is a 17-rounder.
