I had an interesting trip to the range on election day. I intended to work on technique with my FN. I have about 1,000 rounds through it and it's my most accurate handgun. I slowed my shots to watch my posture, stance, breathing and spend less time concentrating on grip. The results were amazing. I could put 10 rounds into a silhouette 15 yds. away and have every round dead on the X vertically with a little variation high or low.
Here's the wierd part: after I shot 90 rounds through the FN I switched to my Glock 26. I could instantly feel the difference in recoil. The little Glock was actually easier to shoot. Then I did some shoot-while-moving drills. I found the Glock to be much faster in picking up the second shot than the FN.
It looks like the FN is my target gun, but the Glock is a better combat weapon for me. I wish I had brought my Glock 17 to see the comparison.
