I would like to find some place around Charleston to shoot for cheap. I come down there a few times a week and would like to shoot some when I am not with my FIL. I need to get better with my Glock, so he can see how much I am improving.

You can make your Glock trigger better if you get one of the 3.5 lb trigger connectors. They are a drop in part with no fitting required. Just do a search for Glock trigger connector and you will find a few manufacturers that sell them for around $15.

Speaking of ATP gunshop, if you guys really want to have some fun, check out their pistol combat shoots. They have them on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Wednesdays of every month from 5:30 to 7:00PM. You get to shoot a 30 round course while on the move doing your reloading as necessary up against the clock. It only costs $7 plus 30 rounds of ammo. Just make sure you have enough loaded magazines to shoot the 30 round course without running out. You typically get to shoot from behind cover, and while kneeling sometimes too. Your score is made up of how many points you score on target divided by your time in seconds to run the 30 shots.

Shooting like this on the move against the clock will definitely let you know if your gun is 100 percent reliable in your hands. I have seen plenty of guns that shoot dead reliable in a relaxed setting when shooting leisurely from a booth suddenly have issues when run under stressful conditions.

I have 10 times more fun shooting 30 rounds like this versus blowing 100 rounds from one spot into one target. Not only do you get to see how reliable your gun truly is, you get a measurement of your accuracy and speed under stress.

ATPs range is A/C and heated, too.
