Curios: does anyone shoot G19 in USPSA Production Division?

[SJan]

Hickok45 prefers the G19 over the G17 and G34

I didn't know he participated in USPSA tactical training matches

He said he did back in the day...

When I started shooting IDPA in 1998, I shot what I had, a G26. Then eventually I upgraded to a G34.

But the reality is that the gun isn't worth that much time. I've seen Dave Sevigney win with an out of the box G17, just because he could.

The funny thing, is that all of the G26 time has made it so I shoot it better than the 19. It points differently because the bump in the backstrap is higher up than on the 19.

Short answer to the OP is simple.

Shoot what you have.
If you need a holster and mag pouches, just go on Amazon and get the proper Fobus for your handgun. It will cost you about $40 total. And you will be good to go. Remember, the latest greatest holster will save you maybe a quarter second per run. At this point its going to be taking you well over a minute to complete most stages.

Also, remember, you can't miss fast enough to win. Go slow, focus on a smooth trigger press and the speed will come.

I find the 19/23 grip to be to small If you can do a good reload with out pinching your hand, then the 19 should work ok. Sight radius is less important then being able to get a proper grip on the gun

Supermoto, I checked the G19 once more and found out that I occasionally pinch myself while reloading. So, I settled with G17. Thanks for the advice!
