This Is What Happens When You Go To The Range With Competition Shooters

About this video

Colion visits Gun Sight Academy and tests a heavily customized Glock 35 in .40 caliber belonging to competitive shooter Michelle Viscusi. He examines the modifications—including a thumb rest, 15-ounce compensator, worn silicone carbide grip, and long slide—and runs several timed drills with the gun. Colion shares his observations about how the gun handles and discusses the trade-offs between speed and control in competition shooting.

Key takeaways

• Colion describes how competition-focused modifications (thumb rest, heavy compensator, magwell) can improve recoil management and reload speed, even on a well-worn firearm
• Colion observes that longer slides feel slower due to the reciprocating mass, but notes they offer a longer sight radius beneficial for competition
• Colion emphasizes that slowing down in shooting drills often feels much slower than it actually is, and controlled shooting can yield better accuracy without significant time loss
