Had the chance to shoot a Glock at 25 yards for the first time in ages. I lined up and shot freestyle off to the side of a local club’s bullseye match. This string was shot during the rapid fire portions (5 shots, 10 seconds, repeated for 10 shots total).
Gun: blue label G34 Gen5, stock 5.5 lb trigger (only additions noted below):
- Gideon Omega on DPP plate
- Talon granulate grip tape
Ammo: Federal 124gr HST
Shot okay. 99, only 3X. The trigger is plenty usable for practical-sized targets but a detriment to hitting 10s and Xs on demand without a bunch of conscious effort. The pistol’s plenty accurate—it shot dead on call with the HSTs—and the Gen5 trigger is a great improvement, but the hitchy roll and resistance-free overtravel are still there.
I honestly believe the Gen5s could be competitive bullseye guns with decent, match-legal triggers and better sights. 4 lb short roll trigger with minimal overtravel, match ammo, and some sharp sights? EIC points all day.
Edit: no clue what is going on the with the images double-posting. Everything looks “normal” on my side when I check the edit page.
