1st off, I'm not a glock guy at all.
2nd, I've owned probably 10 or so over the last 35-36 years since glock came to the US
3rd I bought one of the first gen1's that came to the shop I worked at somewhere around 85-86
I didn't like it, didn't shoot it well. I was used to a combat commander in 45..
Plus at the time most of us thought a 9mm wasn't capable but 17 rounds had a nice ring to it.
Except when I hauled the weight of those rounds around all day.
I've owned the 17, 19, 26, 22 and what ever model was the 357 Sig or maybe it was a conversion bbl, don't remember.
They all got sold or traded away.
Bought a used 17 gen3 back about 12 years ago for my SOL bag. Did some trigger work and I kinda of like that gun.
Fast forward to the beginning of the month.
I friend that I've done a ton of work for GIFTED me this Shadow System gun that I installed a Timney trigger in it for him!
I've manipulated it a lot in the living room and came to appreciate the low grip filler. It feels close to a 2011 slightly like a 1911.
The angle is about the same so it points well for a 1911 user. Also has enough room on the grip to get my weak hand on it fully.
I've got xxxl large palms and sausage fingers!!!
With the Timney trigger in it. The break is good and reset is short and quick. Not a 1911 but much better than a glock trigger.
Good quality barrel, sights are great. It basically has all the upgrades folks would do to a fancy glock.
I've shot maybe 500-700 rounds out of it in the cold weather and it has yet to malfunction.
Shot it slow fire and doing drills and it's easy to shoot well at speed from 3-25 yards. I've shanked a few shots but no more than with my
beloved 1911/2011's.
Shot this group today at 25yds , just under 10 seconds from the holster, free hand.
It is one of the best I've shot with it, that's on me not the gun.
From the bench I've shot several 10 shot groups that are all in or cutting the x ring at 25yds.
Great accuracy for gloch type pistol in my opinion
