All,
Is it just me, or do things like this happen to anyone else. I traded a friend a Beretta 92M that is a great gun and I shot well, but I have started to use my HK USPC 45 more and more as I have gotten more accustomed to it. Well, in return for the 92m, I got a Walther P99, a gun I have always wanted to have and shoot. So I grab the shooting box, hit WW for some extra 9mm and head to the range.
The p99 is a titanium model with just a little holster wear around the ejection port. This is the traditional DA/SA model, which at first glance is a little wacky, but upon application is fantastic.
I had the WW white box 9mm, 50rds S&B 115, 50rds Atlanta Ammo 124g. I also brought the HK to shoot with some GA Ammo factory reloads.
The HK shot as it always does, a 5" group at 15 yrds, a stray or two per mag. Some great shots, others not so great. I cant get a feel for the trigger, and my grip is just to high I think. Plus a nasty push as I brace for recoil. I dont know why ... aggravating....
So I take out the P99, clean it up a little (not that it needed much Recon) and start popping away. The trigger works like this ... after chambering the first round, the trigger is in SA mode, very short and crisp. You can decock the weapon on top of the slide (unusual arrangement) and the gun is now in DA mode with pull almost as long as a CZ100, but not as heavy as the HK's DA pull by far. Some stacking at the end is apparent, but not bad. BUT .. if you want to, after the gun has been decocked and is in DA mode, you can slightly pull the trigger back and set the trigger into a third mode which I called Short DA. This is actually a very comfortable manuever, as the trigger sets nowhere near the break point of the DA mode and shortens the pull considerably. Perfect for CCW.
Accuracy was great... my natural high handhold worked well with the gun and brought the muzzle back to target immediatley. Double taps were amazingly fast, as fast a my favorite double tap gun, Steyr M9. I was shooting 2-3" groups offhand at 15 yrds in with the third mag.
All in all, I shot 200 rds, smiling the entire time. Not one FTF, I had a FTE completely with an Atlanta Ammo case, but it was about the dirtiest, oldest brass I have ever seen, so I think it was the reload fault. I need to stop buying that junk. I do need a good source for affordable 16 rds mags???
Anybody want to buy an HK USPC .45? There is a really nice one for sale in the Classified: Handguns section.
