G21 Slamfire(?)

Lately my IDPA cohorts at www.azidpa.org have been accusing me of trading in my G21 for a
G18. During yesterday's shoot at Phoenix Rotten Gun Club (and a shoot about a month ago), while engaging a paper target for a double-tap, my Glock, well, the follow-up shot was impressively fast, and I doubt my trigger control had anything to do with it

Both times the auto-double-taps resulted in a 5-ring shot to the chest and a head shot (lucky me).

I was shooting reloads which I found in the back of my closet which were part of my first
couple of batches a few years ago. Maybe the primers were not seated? The loads were 7.2
grains of H. Universal and 185 grains. Winchester primers, as I recall. Once-shot brass.

Or maybe, must maybe, I have randomly acquired a super-human ability to reset and squeeze that 3.5 pound connector (8 pound return spring) and reset just enough to allow the gun to fire really, really quick, not unlike the bikinied-babes with high-heels I've seen at the gunshow "Hellfire Trigger" video.

How long have you had experience with Glocks. I've had a couple of friends let two out of the gun by accident because of it's light trigger and short pull. I have a feeling you accidentally double tapped which is of of the reasons I NEVER recommend Glocks for new shooters. Plus they may not know that the trigger is only good for one pull before the slide has to be racked should the cartridge NOT go off.

"How long have you had experience with Glocks?"

I'm a new-comer to Glocks as I only have about 15,000 rounds through my G21. ;) But only two season with the 3.5# connector. It would be easy to blame the connector, but I am not sure it is the cause.
