Green Glock
Shootout
An overview with
pictures
We took
three green Glock pistols out to the range
for some practice. A Glock 23 (with Crimson
Trace lasergrip), a Glock 35 (with Surefire
X200 & DG switch) and a Glock 24 (with Glock
Laser / Light). The results were not as would
be expected. We also brought a Smith & Wesson
M&P45 and shot it as well.
We shot at 5 yards and 10 yards at a large
circle drawn on white paper.
First target
are slow well aimed shots at the crossed
lines on the target at 5 yards. The Glock
24 did best the Glock 23 & 35 shot about
the same
Again
at 5 yards with the three Glocks and the
S&W M&P45. First 5 shots at
the crossed lines then 5 shots at the larger
circle. Having a more precise target seems
to create a tighter group, while shooting at
the larger circle tends to open the group.
These 5 shot groups were shot a bit faster
than the first target but were still aimed
shots. The Glock 24 did best again followed
by the Glock 23 then the Glock 35. The S&W
M&P45 shot very well at the lines but less
accurate at the circle
The
10 yard target was also shot at slower speed.
The Glock 23 seemed to perform best, (perhaps
because this is the most carried and shot
pistol of the shooter), the Glock 35 did
next best followed by the Glock 24 then the
S&W M&P45. However the shooter
has not used the M&P45 very much at all
compared to the Glocks
We shot this test at SERP in Tucson, AZ
