First range trip with new M&P40c disappointing...

At 60 feet thats Solid. Just own that you're a Glock guy...No shame bro.

LOL! I was considering a G27 with the X-Grip adapter and running G23 mags, but I like having the safety.

You're a pretty good shot.

25 yds with an 'carry/defensive' 3.5" barrelled pistol isn't really its intended purpose. While you can never have to much accuracy (as long as its 100% reliable), 3-5" is probably in the realistic range for fixed sights with a pistol like that, particularly in .40, which in my experience isn't the most accurate caliber.

Your XD seems to be a particularly accurate example where everything came together just right. Adding a reflex type sight like on your 19 changes the equation and it becomes an apples and oranges comparison.

I'd probably swap the slides back to original frames and see how the perform. And yeah, take care of yourself before the range (eat/hydrate)...I've cut out coffee anymore before I go.

Also, heads up--big Rally Olympia next weekend.

Yeah but can you come out of concealment and have a decent first hit post haste? ......better to have a gun with lose grouping and be fast out of the holster than have a nice disciplined group at the range and suck at coming out of concealment and getting the drop.
Groups don't mean crap if you suck at fighting , no amount of safeties and features are going to get you there .
Personally I think you worry about grouping your fighting gun too much.

25 yards = range fun

25 yards in a SD situation, unlikely...could happen, probability...not so much...
