Practice trigger control. Do tons of dry firing drills. Balance a coin on the slide and pull the trigger without the coin falling off.

Any particular reason why it's common to Glock shooters?

Coin on top of the front sight is nice. I'm great at it at home. But at the range, sometimes I catch myself anticipating the recoil and flinch. Hence, the snap caps at the range.

It has something to do with the geometry and weight of Glocks trigger, it's just very common for new Glock shooters, especially if they have been shooting something with a light trigger like a 1911 or a Hipower.

To catch your flinch have someone randomly insert a snap cap in your mags as they load them. You won't know when the snap caps some up. It's called a Ball and Dummy drill. You can do it yourself if you load several mags placing a snap cap randomly in then mix up the mags so you don't know when to expect the snap cap.

You'll probably have trouble balancing a coin on top of some sights, just lay it on the slide and be smooth enough on the trigger so it won't fall off.

@ForceofWill - that's a gorgeous firearm!

Let's see some options for carrying on the bike...

I've heard in jokes a few times, even if you don't have a firearm, to bolt an empty holster to the bike as somebody who wants to vandalize or steal it will hopefully see it and think the owner has a firearm, and hopefully be deterred. Not sure it's a realistic option, but it makes me smile.

It sucks when you go over bumps and put a bolt through your front tire, but on the other hand cars will give you a wide berth

My daughter hates when cars tailgate her. I've tried getting her to sling her brothers Savage 311R double barrel or an AR15 across her back. I figured that would cut back on tailgaters. I had one car come up on me fast, tailgate for a moment then back off. It wasn't until later that I realized my Kevlar shirt had lifted up in the wind and my Glock was visible.
