    Glook 41/34 as a bullseye pistol?

    I recently started participating it a local shooting league. It's a indoor range most targets are at 40 or 50 feet. I have been using my trusty S&W model 19-3 with a 6 inch barrel, and came in 2nd in the C division. First time out so pretty happy with that.

    I have G41.4 that I like and it seems pretty accurate, but I don't know if it's target shooting accurate. It's pretty much stock. Thinking changing the connector, and striker spring. Would a aftermarket barrel help? Or should be looking for a 1911? Name:  MVIMG_20190810_224024.jpg

    Why not just try it as it is, and then make mods as indicated by your empirical experience? Best, Jon

    I would install target sights, polish all trigger components, install a minus connector and a 5# FPS.
    I have never seen anyone shoot worse with better sights and trigger.

    For whatever reason, the .45 caliber Glocks exhibit astoundingly good accuracy. Almost every example I've fired has been on par or better than a number of factory production 1911s in my hands. I'd probably give it a little time, maybe change a connector and the sights, but I strongly doubt you'd see any benefit from an aftermarket barrel.

    I have G41.4
    For a limited distance range I feel like you will have all you need. I put the following target up at the 25 yard line/ 75 feet freestyle using both hands.

    What is the target they are using at 40-50 feet? And are you using just strong hand only?

    This G41.4 has Ameriglo Defoor blacked out fixed sights (cheap/effective) and Talon grips. Bone stock everything else. Sellier & Bellot 230 grain FMJ.

    Here's a target at 50 yards (150 feet) using the same pistol strong hand only. The high miss as well as the others in the white aren't the gun's fault. I own those.

    Shoot it at the next match with S&B 230 grain. I think you will be pleased.

    Regards.

    Targets are various bullseye and silhouette. Two hand hold allowed. The only restriction is iron sights.

    Not to be contrary, but you have the gun, so shoot the gun at a target and see how it compares to your revolver.
    I don't know the course of fire so I can't guess, much less predict the result.

    Ordered Dawson adjustable sights blacked front and rear. And Wolff 5 pound striker springs. Probably paint the front sight white or orange.


    The course of fire is 2 targets 10 rounds per target. New season starts in September should have time to get the 41 dialed in.

    At fifty feet, almost any quality pistol will be sufficient for Bullseye unless you have to use the indoor Bullseye NRA B-2 target. The ten-ring diameter for the B-2 is 0.90", and it is quite the challenge. It sounds a lot easier than it is. I regularly humble myself with it by dropping one or two shots in a ten-shot string.

    For Bullseye, I need good sights, a good trigger, and a lot of practice. I prefer the BoMar-pattern sights with a narrow rear notch (0.110") paired with a narrow front post (0.090"). I set the sights for a six-o'clock hold.

    The one disadvantage to the Glock is there is no Bullseye-quality .22 LR conversion. Even if you do not shoot the .22 portion for competition, .22 practice is invaluable for trigger control as the lack of recoil provides feedback.
