Better.
I have to.
I went to my ranges pistol match on Wednesday night and I had a grand old time.
Number one, as I
our viewer may recall, uh, I was having issues with my gun jamming constantly.
And ever since I bought the new gun, the Glock 17 and have been running that in competition, it has been going swimmingly, no jams, no failure to fire, failure to reject nothing.
Just it works when I pull the trigger, which is all I can ask of a Glock.
Um,
You know, people say that, but I genuinely believe that the 17 degree grip angle actually helps reduce recoil.
And the reason I believe that is because when you're holding a handgun, and for those listening auditorily, suck it.
When you're holding a handgun and your support wrist
or your support hand is actually supporting the handgun, your recoil mitigation comes mostly from your grip.
What I mean by that is... Oh, fuck, that's a... That is one loaded bullet.
Okay, so... This is so much...
When you're shooting two-handed, your support hand's on the pistol, and your support thumb should be locked out straight forward, pointing forward.
Glocks help me affect that because they, instead of, you know, kind of pointing 17 degrees differently than normal guns do, they point 17 degrees downwardly.
And that extra little bit of downward angle helps both your wrists lock into place.
And when your wrists are locked, you're automatically reducing recoil dramatically.
You're not reducing recoil.
Recoil is just felt.
