I hate my Glock

I'd take the BHP in that photo over the glock any day of the week.

The Glock gets all the rough use…holster, hundreds of rounds without cleaning, etc.(but still looks almost like the day I bought it). The '72 BHP is in Mint condition (inherited from my father) and I plan on keeping it that way so only comes out on snobs day:).
 
I was lucky in that I discovered the pistol that best fits and performs for me early on... Tried a friends P89 Ruger, a Glock 17, and a SAM 1911 thanks to guys at the range but the Sig 226 just works best for me.

With that said I shot the Glock better than I expected and plan to get a G17 as well a the 226.

In regards to TDC, I think he's made very valid points about professional training. I will be taking some instruction myself, anything that makes me a better shooter is worth doing. TDC/ anybody else out there is there anything that is worth looking into specifically? I'm located in Manitoba

Go to reputable schools and look for intro courses that focus on teaching the fundamentals as opposed to schools that focus on tactics, techniques or are more mindset based.

My opinion is somewhat biased but the sigarms academy is very good at pushing the fundamentals. As for schools in Canada,your options are quite limited and many offerings are a traveling affair as opposed to a fixed operator.

Some schools will try and milk you for more courses by limiting the course content. Be sure to compare the topic lists between the potential schools. Many say front sight is good. My opinion is that they wish to milk you and their practices don't match their mindset, example below.

They teach and preach concealed carry which is great! They also don't allow hot guns anywhere but the range. If you're pro ccw then a hot gun is a necessity at all times as that's how you would carry. Very watered down ignorant policy IMO.

So is there a post or website where a newb like myself could get some info on the basics? I haven't gone out and bought a pistol yet, but I did some shooting with a friend of mine who used to compete in the IPSC. He had a glock, a Ruger revolver and a 1911, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the glock, but I only shot it 50 times.
 
It's about 1/2-2/3 of a decent practice day for me.

That said, TDC is bang on, you need to learn how to shoot before you can claim it's the gun. It's painfully obvious from your post that you don't know the fundamentals, which you need to know.

Switching triggers is only fooling yourself. Your performance will see a slight improvement then quickly plateau. You need to spend the time and money to learn the fundamentals its just that simple.

Agreed! I put a FO front sight and comp rear sight on my CZ SP-01 (not a Shadow) cause I was hitting minute-of-barn groups with the stock night sights. Did it make me better with that pistol? Yes. Better/consistent overall? No. It wasn't until I got my GSG with its terrible sights, and took a couple lessons that I started exercising better trigger control and sight picture. That practice has thus extended to better control with all pistols.

From there I put the stock night sights back on to see if I've improved, and those fundamental skills have indeed carried over.

The 17 and 22 will be taken by a member, i will keep my 21 and have the spring and connector change and since it is a 45 acp ( love everything about the 45 acp) and it have Tritium adjustable sights so it is a no brainer... JP.

I'm an overall Glock hater. I have no problem shooting them I just can't stand the look, the feel, or even the smell of them. I don't understand the appeal of them at all. Every year I add a couple of handguns to my collection but a Glock will never be one of them.
