50-100 meter/yards shooting

[rilumva]

A match barrel may help, but the factory barrels don't seem to shoot too bad. The ancient g-19 I was shooting @ 300 yards would hit the 18" plate pretty consistently. 3-6/10 with Winchester white box was about par. Two hands, standing, kneeling once in a while. One handed once in a while, but less hits. Still, I was surprised how well it shot at distance.

My reasoning for suggesting the match barrel is due to folks like Kyle Defoor mentioning it cutting group size in half, and @ 50 and beyond that is significant. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ioCWVehtg)

That would be worthwhile, and would make distance shooting more fun.

One of my surprises with the 19 was the so-so 25 yards groups, but it seemed to shoot fairly well at longer distances.

What do the better barrels cost?

A .235 tall front sight. Can't remember if this has been discussed, but I would also put the stock barrel back in.

Could you elaborate on this as I am POA/POI @ 25?

Sorry, I missed the part about you being zeroed at 25. Most of my 17's zero at 25 with HD sights or a .235 front.

In my experience, the match barrel does more for a Gen 3 than Gen 4 Glock.

What weight ammo are you zeroed with at 25 yards? Are you using the same load for this ongoing experimentation?

I use Warren sights with a fiber front and plain black rear attached to a Gen 3 RTF2 G17 euro spec with a Lone Wolf threaded barrel.

I shoot regular out the box cheap stuff (360m/s..1200ft/s) and some hotter current military 115gr (410m/s...1350ft/s)
I am POA/POI @ 25m with 115gr ammo (The military type, but haven't considered a difference with the other 115gr stuff as it was the same weight, just slower)

The hit on steel that I got was with the regular 115gr ammo.

How do that work out with a gen 1?
