    Default Shooting my Glock 21 better than my Glock 34

    Hi Folks

    Hlere is my background, I have been shooting pistol competetivly for the last 6 years. I started wth a Glock 21 45ACP have been shooting it for about 5 years continuisly.
    I got a Glock 34 about 4years ago and onocations have been shooting with it.
    so beginning of 2020 I decidid that I need to only shoot my G34 ad I also have done two Training coursed this year with, a IPSC instructor bassed in Pretoria.
    this has tought me a lot.

    Now this past weekend i shot the Rooikraal metal mania shoot, I had to shoot my G1 again as my wife was shooting with the G34, low and behold I managed to beat every one that was shooting with Pistols, now I pulled some quick times out of the hat for me.
    Thinking about it I feel that I shoot my 45 better and quicker than my 9mm, I have been shooting metal mania this year with my G34 and i did not manage to break 6 sec on 5 plates as I do with my 45.

    Is this some thing someone els also found or am I alone with this phenoninon.

    Additional info I shot probably aroud 5 000 to 6000 round with my 45 over the last 5 years and I shot 1000 9mm this year alone even wit Covid restctions.
    I am considering to just shoot 45 from now on!

    I also found I shoot compact and standard size way better then longer versions. In my case I had a Shadow and P01 at same time. But accuracy on target was same. But I shot the P01 faster. So sold the Shadow.

    Do you feel like you loose the front sight on the 34 as the 21 has a lift you find more predictable ?

    I have shot about 5000 Rounds with my 34, my advice is go shoot another couple of thousand rounds through the 34, once you get used to it it can become very useful. and which sights do you have on it?

    What factor are you getting out the 9mm ammo and which weight bullets are you using?

    Shooting steel plates past weekend witj G26, G19 and G17 and would be pleasantly surprised with 26 every time around.I even convinced myself at one stage I was quicker back on target and more accurate with G26.Never gave longer sight radius that much thought till this post........awaiting license approval for G34 and suddenly less enthusiastic
