Finally made the leap to a Gen4 Glock 19 after having only carried .38 and .357 mag my whole life. Great gun, no major issues (other than with PMC ammo) and I'm generally more accurate with it than the revolvers.
Only thing I've noticed (and I don't know if this is just due to lack of experience with this particular gun), but it seems when I'm shooting Gold Dot 124gr, I'm much less accurate than when I'm shooting the range ammo, usually American Eagle 115gr.
With the American Eagle, I can shoot tight groups all day, but when I switch to a magazine of the Gold Dot, there are shots hitting considerably outside the group. Not always in the same direction either. There isn't much difference in recoil between the two rounds (the lack of recoil with this gun is something I actually had to adjust to), so I'm not doing anything much different as far as technique.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is it all in my head? ... also, I'm curious what most people carry in their Glock 19's. I carry Gold Dot in my .38, so that's just what I grabbed for the Glock ...Thanks
