Went out to the range with my wife yesterday.
She is an officer, fresh out of the acaemy and wanted to shoot her glock 27 (40 cal sub-compact, for those who don't speak glock) just to see how she likes it.
Well, her glock was a 40, my p99c is 9mm, and though she outshot me at first because I had not been to the range in about a year, that quickly changed and I was getting an 1.5 inch group at 7 yards in no time. The glock was about a 4 inch group. That could be a result of a terrible trigger, crappy frame design, and the higher calliber. But only marginally.
The important thing to note is this:
the glock 27, which is designed to take the full sized mags, needs about 3 slap and tap drills to get through a full size magazine,
And her department issue duty weapon, the 40 cal compact, glock (19 I think), had scattered failures; fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to lock back, etc.
I am pissed about this
. So we are now shopping for a new duty weapon.
The Walther, well of course, not one failure of any kind. Nice tight groups, quick follow up shots, and I was able to make a 10 round, 4 in group, in about 8 second, at 7 yards. Now that is a fine piece of work.
