I have read that this H&K model (if not all H&K's?) are intended to shoot low. My P2000 does. Any information will be appreciated.
I wouldn't say that HK's shoot low, only that they are sited in for a 12 o'clock hold rather than a 6 o'clock hold.
For a defensive or combat pistol, this works fine. For a competition gun I would want adjustable sites so I could make it a 6 o'clock hold.
As always, we try to use standardized terms on this site so that we'll all mean the same thing when posting.I always referred to site picture 2 as a 6 o'clock hold, meaning you hold the site on the 6:00 to hit the middle. That's what I prefer on a bulls eye gun as you don't cover the target to hit where you want.
That site picture number 1 is........... I don't know why anyone would want that. It seems like it would be really hard to hit consistently like that.
Yeah, sorry for confusing things.As always, we try to use standardized terms on this site so that we'll all mean the same thing when posting.
My 9mm P2000 is as JTQ mentions.
My VP9 LE model with factory night sights is a drive the dot sight picture at 7 yards and 10 yards, shoots to the top of the front sight at 25 yards, and shoots about to the top of the front sight at 50 yards as well.
My P30L and P30SK are as JTQ mentions, however they do tend to shoot low with lighter bullets (i.e. 115 gr. loads), but with 124 and 147 gr. loads they are picture 3. My VP9 tends to shoot more to image two in JTQ's linked post. All three of them have the HK factory installed Meprolight Tru Dot night sights.
For bullseye shooting it's really easy.What site picture number 1 is........... I don't know why anyone would want that. It seems like it would be really hard to hit consistently like that.
I suppose it would be in that context. If one has a target of a known size, at a known distance, and has the sites dialed in to hit at that point, all one has to do is align the sites with the bottom of the target.For bullseye shooting it's really easy.
