Sighted in at 100 metres (not yards). Then I shot four 5 shot groups less than 4moa.

Now...on to 200 and then 300 (metres, not yards). Hav'n fun!

Well... started in on Saturday at 200 metres (not yards). The results of one 10 round session...

Then, to 300 metres (not yards)...

Ok, ok...it's only my second and third time shooting this rifle. But, boy, am I pleased. Now...onward to 400, 500, and beyond!!

Good job! Just need some more practice. Are you going to roll your own for your rifle or find a factory load that groups well?

So my f*cking CDP II finally shipped last Thursday. 2day delivery! But wait... they don't deliver on the weekends. Well f*ck. Oh well, it'll be delivered on Monday! Wait... whats this... my FFL is closed monday!? f*ck again. I'll have to wait till Tuesday... Wait a second... They're closed on Tuesday as well!!!!! holy f*cking sh*t. Well Wednesday it is. Oh and lets not forget I have to abide by California's 10-day waiting period. You know, just in case I go ape sh*t in 10days or something and decide to blast up a crowd of people, I won't be able to do it with a f*cking 1911. I'll just have to use one of my other f*cking guns!!! Makes no sense at all. If I own a gun, and have a clean background why the hell should I have to wait 10days?!?!?!

I hate Cali.....

Man that sucks.

If it wasn't for the California government, Cali would be a great place to live.

They screw with a lot of stuff. Like the whole emissions thing. For example one of the biggest Aftermarket parts companies for my car won't sell a lot of their stuff in Cali anymore. Even putting "off road use only" didn't help. They pulled all their performance parts. I luckily got them before that happened.

Also our Smog Checks are ridiculous...

Are they? Because when I've been to LA, and when the smog is bad, it's gross...

I'm sure thats the multimillion dollar companies that pay off their inspectors. Nah, they pick on the lil guys that wanna add a little more power to their cars.

Just bought my first real weapons... Anderson AM-15 and Remington 870

Looking to pick up a Glock 19 gen 3 in a couple weeks

Pretty sure that's all I'll ever need, right!?

Good starter kit!

I wouldn't say "ever need".

There are plenty of great firearms out there, why limit your self to just 3.
20+ and counting for me and I need all of them.

Just curious, why are you getting a gen 3 over a gen 4?

Here's what the local shop owner explained to me as the the tradeoff on gen3 vs gen4... gen4 costs more, has two springs (instead of one on gen 3), and gen 4 is made to fit smaller hands. Gen 3 fits me fine. Mechanically, he said, the extra spring really doesn't matter.

Any different viewpoints on this? worth the extra ~$200?

Do a google search on the Glock brass-to-face issue as well as other functionality problems. More common in later builds of the Gen 3. Still an issue, although not as frequent, in the Gen 4.
