[QUOTE="Pokem807, post: 2612091, member: 7378"] Just got back from taking out the G21 and my SR1911 CMD. The 1911 has probably less than 500 rounds through it (I bought it used), and the trigger is still smoothing out. That said, I've put thousands of rounds down range with various 1911s, and am pretty comfortable with them. For whatever reason, although I shot one for the first time yesterday, I'm just a better shot with the Glock. I was alternating between 2 steel plates and got to the point where it didn't feel like I was aiming. I just oriented the Glock toward the steel and heard a boom-clang. I think that the grip angle forces me to cock my wrist forward a little more, which effectively strengthens my grip and makes it easier to control follow-up shots. It also seems to align the sights much more naturally. The trigger is just perfect. I don't know why and I'm not going to tempt fate by trying to figure it out. The only problem I have is manipulating the slide stop and mag release. I can barely do so without altering my grip, and it's really a stretch. I'm thinking about installing some of the Vicker's upgrades, if they make them for Gen 3 G21s. Any pros or cons to doing this that I should know about? [/QUOTE]
