After a few videos of me, I move the camera to the target and began shooting different loads. Up first is the supposedly great IDPA load with the 124 Speer RN and Titegroup. Distance is exactly 20 yards and the tape is 1.5 inch painters tape. The bottom group was the same load. Both are shot freehand.

Buffalobob, just quick observation. Your grip is not exactly as what TS demonstrated. Make sure the supporting hand is as high as possible to the point that the wrist is bent like when throwing a fish lure, and the supporting hand's index finger further forward under the trigger guard. Between the 1st and 2nd video I could see your supporting hand's pinky slipping. A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is probably more, so here's one to illustrate what I meant. It's not focused on grip, but watch how he forms his grip and stance....and yes, he's shooting a stock glock.

I was once a non-believer of glock accuracy. It sure is not the most user-friendly accuracy-wise, but it's very much capable. I've finally shot the 17 as well as I shoot the HK P30 @ 25m. Given unlimited $$$, of course I'd still go with the P30
