In shooting, there was just no movementof the pistol within the grasp at all.Recoil moved the gun and hand together,without the grip-frame shifting withinthe shooter’s hold. A lot of the beta testersI recruited thought after grasping it,“Ooh, this is gonna hurt when it goesoff,” but it simply didn’t. The reasonfor that, I suspect, is the very fact it’snot moving within the grasp and thereforenot doing any rasping or abrading.Our testers were all using firm grasps:there’s a possibility it will start tomove and scrape a little if the shooterignores Glock’s advice and shoots thisgun held loosely. None of us took theRTF through a thousand-round-a-dayshooting course, but shooting a hundredstout .40 S&W rounds at a time simplycreated no hand soreness whatsoever.RTF In The FieldIn second quarter 2009, I traveled toEscambia County, Florida, whose sheriff’sdepartment had become the firstContinued on page 86G22 RTF (top)compared tostandard griptreatment.Photo: AyoobHand-held from thebench at 25 yards,Speer Gold Dot 165grain bonded JHP putfive shots in under 2".Photo: AyoobWWW.AMERICANHANDGUNNER.COM 61
