To start, I've owned a few Glock 19's over the years, both gen 3 and 4. They are great guns, and I've always liked them; I've just never liked the look of the threaded barrels on them. So obviously I jumped on the G19 Canadian bandwagon, because Canada! And bandwagons!
The barely legal barrel on this gun makes it look almost like it should, which is really nice, because looks matter to this shallow guy. Thanks, Glock! It fits my hand as well as any other Glock 19's I've owned, which is really well. So far we are off to a good start. However, what good is a gun unless you shoot it, right? The other G19's I've shot did fairly well. Consistent guns that went bang and put the bullet in the general vicinity of where I was aiming. That's a lie, they were pretty accurate, but nothing to write home about. So tonight I cruised to my not so local range so as to comply with silly restricted rules and finally get to shoot this beaut.
After sighting in my new scope for the MV, I loaded the kindly included 3 magazines and took aim from 10 meters.. or yards. It really depends on my stride, though it was likely about 10-11 yards. After the first mag, I thought jeepers this thing must have a full choke, it patterns really well! The second mag saw the same result, and by the end of the third magazine, I had a pretty good sized hole appearing in my target! It's not all that often that I make one giant hole in my targets with a handgun. Anyone who shoots 3 gun with me will agree with that! Anyways, back to the gun... I loaded 2 more mags to finish my box of PMC Bronze, and chucked those 124 grain mini boulders at the target, this time many bullets passing through my previously made hole, and some poking new holes. What fun! After that I continued to decimate the paper enemy with some 10mm from the big brother of the 19, Mr G20; but that's a different story altogether!
Anyways, the short version of this long winded, barley fueled (after the range, of course) post is that the new Glock 19 Canadian actually shoots really well, and is all in all just a really nice handgun. I would quite strongly recommend one; and this is coming from a die hard Sig fanboi!
Here are some pictures of the fun. I know, I'm no bullseye shooter, and I definitely need to fix my pulling right, but I'm pretty happy with tonights excursion.
