A little back story, I firmly believe the Indian is more important than the arrow. BUT I bet that Indian shoots better with a new Mathews and carbon arrows . Unfortunately, I have been chasing the right pistols for a long time, never coming close to mastering any of them. Finally, I said screw it and I was going to get a glock 17 and a 34 and shoot them until I "mastered them". So I bought a gen4 17, Dawson sights and a trigger for it (back to the factory trigger now.. That's a thread in its own..) and I shot that for a while while I was looking for a 34 to purchase as well.
And here is were it all falls apart. One of our friendly members listed a M&P9 for sale for crazy cheap, and I may have accidentally bought it. The game plan was to buy it and trade it for what I wanted, essentially getting a good deal on the one I wanted. I accidentally shot it today and realize how much I like it. This is my second M&P, I recently sold a pro 9. I'm so confused on which one to keep and "master"
Now for the questions!
What are good drills to determine which gun is better for you? I know how it "feels" isn't always true so I'm relying on a timer for this one. My thinking is any drill comparing the two would work? Are some drills better than others?
How much of a role do sights play? 17 has Dawson .115 rear and .105 front, m&p has trijicon HD's. Is this two big of a difference to run them head to head? I thought I would have the big giant HD's (hence the small Dawson's) but, I actually like it.
I suffer from slight left shooting on the 17 (2-3" left of center at 25 yards, sights are centered in the only one whose shot it, I'm sure it's me not the sights/gun)
M&P has a shorter rounded trigger guard and makes it harder to get my grip
I shot the DOTW (the uspsa classifier one, drill #122 I think) today with both cold and I scored better with the M&P but time was basically the same. The C zone hits with the glock were off due to trigger jerk.
I'm tired of switching between different ones and I want to stay with one for a long time, but which one?
Haaaaalp
