    A compensator on a G43 may make it more reliable. My G43 developed reliability issues after mag springs and recoil spring had some wear on them. +2 Magazine extensions for sure had constant feeding...

    I’m issued a P226. I’ve carried Glocks off duty for the vast majority of my career. I’ve been frustrated at the difference the grip angles made in my index even with frequent dry practice.

    I...

    In Glocks I’ve broke. (2) strikers from guns I dry fired a bunch. One was on a Gen 3 G19 (my first gun). That got dry fired constantly and the tip of the striker broke off at some point during dry...

    To the OP, I wonder if your support hand grip technique might be driving the gun left with the C2? One way to tell is if increasing or decreasing grip pressure with left hand affects the way the gun...

    To echo what LukeNCMX suggested back in post #7, the trigger needs to be worked aggressively in dry practice to get a better sense of what is going on. Most people can work the trigger slowly dry and...

    The critical thing that helped me keep two hands on the grip when shooting a P365 is to not cam my support hand. I found that the support hand has to match the grip angle of the gun to best control...

    GJM, I noticed getting better times/accuracy shooting the same drills with slightly sharper recoiling 9mm (blazer 115) vs slightly underpowered 9mm (PMC 124). I attributed it to the recoil recovery /...

    JCN, did you ditch the the comp because of reliability issues or was it more for performance/recoil timing ?

    My understanding is any holster that fits the C2 should fit the C. I believe it’s the same slide dimensions.

    I have a C with about 2k rounds through it. It has a nice trigger and is accurate, but...

    Much to my surprise, getting the forearm in line behind the gun made a significant difference in recoil management even when shooting two handed. Yes, there is...

    I’d say the P226 of yester-years were well built. Newer built P226’s…not so much.

    My agency issued me a P226 in .357sig from 2006. Those batch of guns had slick double action triggers, crisp...

    I've found simply relaxing the trigger finger will allow the trigger to reset while maintaining contact with the trigger face. So follow through becomes a "relax and prep" (or relax and press)...

    Ah I see. I did see failures to feed with G2 in my G43 with a worn recoil spring and magazine springs. A fresh recoil spring and changing out the mag springs seemed to make the issue go away.

    When you said "on a lean," was that referring to you leaning (like around a barricade) or the target was slanted?
