I got a question from Darryl from Ft. Worth over the weekend asking whether or not he should avoid going to the range to do some shooting while he is going through the 21 Day Alpha Shooter Course.

KKM Match Grade Glock 26 Replacement Barrel Field Test & Review

8” groups at 85 yards…with a subcompact? Awhile back, I decided to upgrade the little 3.42″ barrel in my Glock 26. I changed the ammo I was carrying from 124gr to 147gr and the stock barrel didn’t seem to like it as much. Specifically, I have steel in my back yard at 65 and 85…
