For those new to shooting, 124 grain might be a more manageable choice. It allows you to focus on fundamentals without being overwhelmed by recoil.
I tried both weights with my Glock, and honestly, the 124 grain was so much more pleasant to shoot! It made me laugh how much less jump I felt. Can’t wait to recommend it to my friends who are just starting out.
I wonder if the difference in bullet weight might also affect target grouping? Has anyone tested this out with both weights?
Yes! I found that the 124 grain gave me tighter groups at longer distances compared to 115 grain, especially for precision shooting.
I’ve shot both as well. Interestingly, while the 115 grain was snappier, I didn’t mind the recoil much. Sometimes it’s just fun to have a little kick!
I can relate to that! Sometimes it’s about the thrill rather than the numbers. But for newer shooters, comfort is key.
Ultimately, whether you choose 115 or 124 grain, a lot comes down to personal preference and your specific needs. Experimenting is essential.
Does anyone else feel like working with different grain weights is like finding the perfect shoe size? It’s all about comfort and fit!
I’ve always preferred 124 grain for self-defense because of its stopping power. It seems to deliver more energy on impact, which is crucial in critical situations.
While I get that point, 115 grain rounds can be just as effective, especially in rapid-fire scenarios due to less recoil. What’s your experience in shooting sports with both? I’d love to hear more!
I agree with both sides. 124 grain can help with accuracy at longer distances, especially in competitions, but 115 grain makes target practice more enjoyable for me as it feels snappier.
