    Did a rather informal test today.

    I was a little off my game as I can typically shoot better but this is what I got:

    These targets were all shot at 10 paces. Never fired a browning high power before, and this was probably one of the AIM imports from Israel, it's pretty beat up and the sights are rounded (no sharp corners).

    There are a lot of benefits to polymer striker guns, but I have never found shootability to be one of them.

    ETA: at least to me. I have always found a good striker to be a less suitable trigger and recoil stroke than an okay hammer-fired system.

    Especially compared to a 1911. It's not a familiarity thing... I trained with, completed with, and carried a Glock 19 for two years while my 1911 project was going through modification and finish work. Immediately shot the 1911 better on every metric (Test/Super Test, 5x5, Gabe White Standards, 25 yard B8s) once the work was done.

    Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.
