Yes, but I tried to keep them dry. I should have brought a cloth to wipe them on, but I ended up just using my pants. I liked the range, but I'll probably go earlier in the morning next time.

I also noticed that the gun got hotter than I was expecting too. I didn't ever fire rapidly (the range has a rule that disalows firing faster than every two seconds.)

For a while I had a perfect imprint of a Glock 17 4th gen grip on my hard...

I checked the cartridge out pretty closely before I put it back in and shot it. There were some marks/scratches on it, but there weren't any dents. It still looked perfectly round... so I shot it.

LOL, glad you had a good time, I guess if I ever get down to Florida, I'll have to get in touch so we can go burn some powder together.

ah you're first stove pipe .... limp wristing maybe?

When your palms were sweaty, how did that Gen4 RTF3 texture work to keep the pistol planted in your hand?

This would be my guess. That or cheap ammo. I know there are some QC problems with some of the cheaper range ammo right now due in part to the recent shortage and trying to catch up. Also, I know some of the companies are shorting ammo charges a little bit. couple tenths of a grain or so. Might not sound like they are making much doing that until you figure how many rounds they manufacture.

Possibly...

I'm just trying to figure out what happened... I'd actually feel better if it was my fault...

Well, I'm not sure... I think you should get a new G22 to see what you think... Hahaha...

Actually, I thought it did pretty well... It seemed like it was glued to my hand. I was gripping it tight enough... I remember setting the gun down several times and seeing a clear imprint of the RTF texture on my right hand.

I was trying some different hand grips though. I tried to consciously keep my right hand at the top of the handle. I know I probably let the gun rise too much when it fires. I tried to control that, but then I started anticipating the shot and losing some of my accuracy.

Absolutely! If you ever come down this way, give me a holler for sure... We'll go out and do some shooting...

I understand what you are saying.

It's like one of the first computer fraud cases... Programmer adapted a banks interest program to put all the calculated interest above three decimal places into a separate account. So, like .0003 of a cent would come from one account, .0002 from another, etc... They finally caught him because it was the only account in the bank that had withdrawls, but no deposites... interesting scheme though...

I think I might need to adjust the way I am shooting. I hold the gun straight, but when it fires it seems to rise a lot in my hands. I sort of let the gun go its own way. I don't put any pressure on the gun to make it stay on target. Should I do that? I notice that good shooters seem to be able to hold the gun still and not let it rise in their hands.

I know I need practice. I just don't want to develope any bad habits, if possible.

You got it there...practice and more practice. It will get better, by the way kudos on handling a problem SAFELY and figuring out what happened! Congrats on yer new toy..enjoy!
