Just a reminder, because all forums that are part of Forums America or The Outdoors Network are in the same family, you don't have to register, you are automatically registered and just use the same name everywhere. You should also be automatically logged in, but perhaps not, depends on how you've set up your web browser in regard to saving cookies. If you have to log in you just need to type in your email address and password--the same password you use for your forum. You can check "remember me" and the forum will generate a cookie, which is simply a small file on your computer that keeps your log-in info so you won't have to log-in on any of these forums. But you have to allow your web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, or whatever you use) to keep cookies. I can help you with this with more detail if you need, but will need to know what OS and what browser you use.
As to firearms--Glocks ad 1911s have the best reset of all pistols in my opinion, but it takes some getting used to, definitely. The best approach, I think, is to shoot slowly, and work with the reset. Trigger the second shot as soon as the trigger is reset. Fortunately, Glocks ot only provide good feel, they provide an audible reset you can almost hear even thru hearing protection. With my electronic muffs I can hear it. If you go slow you can concentrate on keeping the front sight on the target. When I say slow I truly mean slow. Try bang-one thousand, bang two thousand. Do this for a magazine or two-or more if needed--a boxful isn't too much--then speed it up just incrementally. Speed is never the thing we practice, speed is the result of other things we practice. In this case you're practicing controlling the trigger while keepig the front sight on the target. Once you can do this slowly with ease, speed will come naturally. But if you push for speed, control will elude you. (I have a Glock 19 also--mine's got the green frame. I usually carry a Glock 23 in .40, but since 9mm is cheaper, I do a lot of practice with the G19. ) An FN 2000? I am so jealous! Did you get one in black or OD green? These are very nice rifles but out of my reach--well, if I didn't blow all my money on handguns, but that's another story. I think it was a great idea to make the FN 2000 work with AR12 mags. We'd LOVE to have a report on the FN 2000 over on the Firearms Forum! I love the Vaquero. I have shot the old model, which was the larger frame size of the Super Blackhawk, but have not shot the new, smaller model, that is closer to the Colt in size, and has the reversing pawl. Rugers are a favorite of mine in general. Rock solid guns. So you must have the one in polished S/S that looks like nickel? Beautiful! Do you shoot CAS (cowboy action)? Or do you just like single action revolvers? I haven't owned one for over 20 years and keep saying I need another. If I get a Vaquero I think I'd either replace the hammer or have it notched so I could cock and load it like a Colt with the four click cocking pattern (C-O-L-T) that allows you to load one, skip one, load four, go to full cock, then lower the hammer on an empty cylinder. I know it's completely unnecessary on a modern Ruger, and that's why they have a transfer bar, but it's cool. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hey Mark, I tried to log onto your firearm site with no success. For some reason it wouldn't let me either log in or register, I tried both! Wanted to say how much I liked your post on trigger reset. Personally, I love my Glock 19 for everything BUT trigger reset. I know this is MY problem not the gun, but whenever I go for a quick "double tap" the reset is so quick the second shot is always high. Don't seem to able to recover from muzzle flip as fast as the reset wants me to. By the way, sounds like you have a lot more toys than I do, but yesterday I picked up my new FN 2000 and Ruger Vaquero [s/s]. So having fun taking them apart etc today. |
