So there IS a difference in how this gun is fired compared to, say, a 1911 or a Sig P239? Something about the technique required to fire it accurately is different? Thank you, Hanwei, that's the point I've been trying to make all along (and perhaps failing at), that I believed there IS something different about the Glock. In 8 pages of thread, you're the first person to offer me an answer to my question of WHAT I could be doing wrong that could cause my difference in proficiency between the Glock and most other pistols I've shot. Can "taking up the slack in a trigger" be considered a fundamental if it's NOT necessary for all pistols? To my mind, a fundamental is something required across the board, and it doesn't sound like this qualifies under that definition, which would be why I continued to question what was wrong with my fundamentals. (Me, splitting hairs and arguing semantics? Never!!)
Underwhere, I disagree ... you got your point across. I was the one not getting *mine* across, or maybe not phrasing my question correctly. I wanted to know what could be different between the Glock and other pistols I'd shot. I didn't say it was necessarily a gun fitment issue, I'm actually pretty sure I specifically included trigger, grip size, etc. to toss out all of the possibilities I could think of, some difference that the Glock had that the others didn't. Sounds like Hanwei might have nailed it, and if so, thank you ... I'll definitely alter my trigger technique next time to see if it changes!
And WOW, have we gone off-topic! My original question was to ask for pistol recommendations for something similar to a 1911 for under $800, and it turned into this! I *never* should have mentioned my problems shooting a Glock, everyone glommed onto that!! :-D
