dont forget hand strength! working out with a gripper can do wonders for your accuracy.

i assume the glock would be easier to shoot accurately as it's trigger pull is half or even less then that of my 9mm. |

rider i totally understand and agree with everything you are saying, but, what i'm wondering is this.
how accurate can the glock 23 be shot by an average person off the shelf. what does that mean, the average shooter goes to the range 2-3 times a month, not law enforcement, just a shooter. pick it up, line up the sights, control breathing and bang. bullseye? on the paper? or who the hell knows where it went? the fact is you will need it for self defense maybe once in your lifetime if at all. the rest of the time you go to the range and punch holes in paper. i prefer to shoot at 25 yards. yes i do some rapid fire exercise but most is controlled fire for grouping. some guns cannot do this no matter how well you shoot, some guns excel at it. yes of course the gun must fit your hand, it must "come up" as a reflex without repositioning, the trigger must be easily acquired by your finger. that i can get from holding one in a shop. i have and they fit well. what i was asking is in Gasman's opinion is it one of the more accurate firearms available in that caliber for that price point. a bonus would be how easily is it taken down for cleaning, assembled, reliability, etc. just opinions from someone who owns one. |

Glocks have "average" accuracy for the "average" shooter, XD's are the same.
Sigs are generally slightly more accurate for the "average" shooter. For me, both the glock and the sig are not accurate, the XD is pretty good. Why? XD is the only one that fits comfortable in my hand. Another example. On the Army pistol qualification, you are given 40 rounds, with 4 different shooting positions at 25 yards. I fired a 28 with the M-9 Beretta. Same qualification, my XD, I fired a 36. It really is all about how it fits in your hand. |

![]() Wildchild, handgun accuracy is a lot like riding a bike. Put 10 different people on the same bike and you'll get 10 different results in how well they can use it. Accuracy in any modern pistol made by any quality manufacture is all anyone needs for everyday use. Learning to shoot it that well is the trick. That's just training and practice. |

I like to load a tracer round 3 from the bottom of my assault rifle mags to let me know when I'm getting close to the end of the mag

meh, a lot of times you wont notice due to ambient light and the bullet speed. I found it was easier to learn the difference in recoil and report when the bolt locks back and program the swap into muscle memory
