Just back from the shakedown range session with my new G19.

120 rounds through it (Remington UMC 115 gr), with no problems whatsoever. Ejection was consistent and not at my head.

It took me a little while to get used to the sights. When I benched it for accuracy, it shot consistently low and left. Vertical spread was great, but I was getting pretty bad horizontal stringing.

The funny thing was that when I shot offhand, I was roughly centered and had less horizontal stringing... especially when I was shooting at faster cadences. I can almost shoot it better if I'm slightly less deliberate.

When I came home and measured groups, I find that I'm shooting it almost on par with my P228 -- a gun with which I have much more experience (I last shot a Glock in 1989).

We'll see how things go over the next couple months, but this may very well end up as my primary carry piece.

In reaction to 0bama, I went and bought a Glock 30 today. I made sure I got the larger capacity 45 rather than the single stack just to make sure I was not complying with that idiots wishes.

From spending time on the XD forum;
A lot of new XD owners tend to shoot low and left when first shooting their polymer striker pistols.
I was one of them a few years ago.
It just took a little time getting accustomed to the trigger.
But I've since sold 4 XD pistols and now own 3 Glocks.
Glock, mostly for the trigger, has won my preference for my polymer handguns.
Hopefully another range trip will zero you in with the Glock..

More finger on the trigger should solve this. Everyone of our people who had this problem when we switched to Glocks last year solved it by putting more finger on the trigger.

With the p226 I had the pad of the finger on the trigger and shot good, with the glock I need to put the finger the first joint and I shoot straight.

Nay, not the oldest.

'tis prophetic and strange and a teensy bit gnarly, but not the oldest.
