I bought a Glock 17 about two years ago to use for IDPA and IPSC shooting, also to use as a canoeing gun, one I'm not afraid to get wet. It shot OK accuracy wise with FMJ bullets, but not something to write home about.

I recently bought a Lone Wolf barrel for it so I could shoot cast lead in it, my home cast 124 grain bullets driven at moderate velocities are super accurate, turning a "Ho-Hum" pistol into a tack driver.

You may find you can gain a lot of accuracy tailoring a hand load for your pistol, and cast lead bullets are cheap. Brass is everywhere, no one picks up thier 9MM brass on my range...
