What I have learned and continue to learn is unbelievable
MY UPDATE
Not sure if it interests anyone but I am compelled to update because most of my progress has been from members of this community who deserve much credit and thank you
First and foremost a shout out to a friend I met here TexasEskimo who has taken me under his wing and guided me through some of my progress
I am still learning every day / and I am having a whole lot of fun doing so
My first Learning process and I have mastered because it is almost a natural routine now is Safety
the most important rule which guides me through the rest of the safety process is “Treating your gun as it is always loaded and ready” with that alone the rest is simple - I now am confident enough that I am teaching my son and my brother in-law who I have join me as Gun Owners and I have taken to the range
I have made some friends at the range with my respect to the owners and keepers of the Range / My gun is always in a case locked / with the Wired lock through the Chamber and Magazine port No Magazine Loaded and it has gone a long way with them
I have experimented and learn a few things -
How important Grip is to shooting I am currently using a Talon Grip and was until recently my Magazines was the standard 6 and I added / purchased the Pinky extension (Glock43)
I did some minor modifications to my Glock43 added a extended Magazine release. Back Plate and a Plug just for some cosmetic upgrade / The Glock 43 is good looking as is without the modifications
I also just bought a FAB +4 Magazine Extension : It does not really make my Glock 43 Look better but today I went to the range and grip alone gave me more Hand Purchase that my shooting at 30 Yards was fantastic I was so surprised how good it felt and control I had - The only Issue I had is that it is almost impossible to load 10 rounds in it - and when I did it was difficult to use the slide (Hope that is the right terminology) So as a 9 round Magazine it works great !!!
It wont work for CC which I haven’t gotten yet (Working on It) Not liking how it looks when I wear it OWB which I do - I got to get over that because the +4 Extended grip is fantastic for me and that is more important
I also for the first time received a bulk delivery of Ammo and I was almost like a child who just got a bag of goodies
I know a little about Ammo - I have been using FMJ 9MM 115G since I Started for Practice / I also have experimented with some defense Hollow Points
I need to research and experiment with some of the higher grains AMMO
So that is where I am at today 4 Months so much more confident and I have recruited 2 more gun owners who think I know alot LOL - I keep telling them I don’t, but What I have learned is from experts and experience community members -
Thank YOU USCCA Members and TexasEskimo
