HK VP9

[ddindetroit]

Typical performance from MY HK VP9

For the doubters, just get a shot of the new target making its way all the way downrange - assuming an indoor 25 yard range. Then the shots and the retrieval. We'd get to see technique and speed, etc... it'd be interesting and informative. I don't see a reason for DD not to post one. Please do.

Decades ago, my mentors used to tell me: "Young man, don't tell he how you got the ship into port, just tell me that you did!"

Well unfortunately, you are going to hear a little about how I got this ship into port and squared away. LOL!

Let me preface this. I would normally not answer this 'charge' but for fellow Calgunners entertainment purposes - I mean some guys already have popcorn ready!

It's been a long work day. I ran home and grabbed the HK pistols and ran to the Range Pistol Club and got a spot.

I pushed the target all the way back and then; I loaded one magazine; asked the guy shooting next to me if he would be so kind as to video me ... he was very kind.

Next, I have to get some help figuring out how to upload the video. Thank goodness for younger tech savvy people! My first video upload!

A few notables:

1) I upgraded the VP9 with an RMR milling.
2) I ran out of small pistol primers and had to use rifle primers - hence the light primer strike.
3) I injured my left hand in the field and had difficulty with support/reaction hand - gripping onto the pistol.
4) I did the best I could that day. It was average performance for me.
5) Enjoy this one minute video.

The Venerable HK USP Expert 45: Brings you to honesty and tests precision shooting

Just to make sure my above-mentioned shooting was not an anomaly.
I made a change - to a different HK pistol. An HK USP 45 Expert with a Docter RMR. This pistol will 'vet' you out - and truly show if you have a steady hand (and eye coordination).

This is a great pistol ... here is why:

Thank you for following this and I hope you enjoy my first videos!

WOW! Good shooting DD!

That's what The Range Staff did when I pulled the target back! LOL

Wait a minute. How is this comparable?
Any one who shoots behinds mini holos knows the accuracy advantage with slow fire and that sight arrangement. Light on it increases weight and stability. At least 2 items you added to increase your ability to try and match your stated profiency with a much more stock looking handgun.
Additionally if we average those shots and where they hit further demonstrate this performance is no substitute.
50 rounds fired. 1 hole with approx 7-8 out. At the minimum he should have had at least 7-8 touching and 2-3 out.

What do you think those videos actually show? Cmon dd, are you really offering today's shooting as "see, I can do that"

I totally expect shenanigans from you. No surprise you would try and game this.

Fail. This is no proof. I will allow an above average ability with slow fire at distance. So you can shoot slow fire well. But no way as good as you suggest in those images. No way.

If you could, you would have an open sighted gun with you. Maybe you did but sucked a_ _ with it and you switched up to the holos.

No crow here.... You eat it.
Nice touch with the injury mention. Just in case.

You know you shot that target with the VP opensighted closer. You wrote the bs crap on it and got called on it. I know for sure now. Why else would you try this.

To save face..... heck... does anyone here know what you look like? I imagined an older dude. Those arms and hands looked young. Made that money or born into it?...... Ain't hatin, still money.

OH Professor!

Oh Professor there is no satisfying you. That's OK, the rest of Calguns enjoyed the interchange.

As I told you, the VP9 has been upgraded. Did you want me to turn off the RMR? I grabbed it and ran to The Range. Shooting precision groups still requires hand/eye coordination with proper stance and grip right?

Yes, I can always improve my shooting. Yes, today was not my best day. I am willing to put myself out there. I tried.

Perhaps the tenured Professor could show us in a video how he expects us student of the gun how it's done?

And so what if I'm old? Old guys still know how to shoot.

Have a nice meal Captain.

I seen him, and know him. He ain't much to look at, especially with those soft baby hands.... but the guy can shoot.

[solipsism]

As soon as I saw the RMR I knew someone would call it cheating Lol

And those people probably don't know much about shooting. All the RMR does is help get sighted on target but it doesn't improve the physical layer of shooting. DD still had to pull the trigger, keep form, not jerk, pull, twitch or flinch and he had to have the skill to get back on target after each shot.

Very nice. Thanks for doing this one. Looking forward to breaking out my Expert next month. How do you have that Docter mounted, Doctor? Good show. You delivered pretty fast. I guess I went to bed too early last night, hahah. You busy bees.

Matt I say this with the up most respect and admiration to you sir. What more do you want to prove?
DD came back and posted this video. Heck he could have just walked away. So now we're left with "you hung lights on to help your shooting".
What's next . . . the video was spliced?

While I can still understand and respect your right to doubt it as you are entitled to it . . .what that heck is with the bold above? Now you are really crossing the line my friend. Not cool at all.

^^^ So there you go ^^^
Dang now I want to meet him if those hands are really that soft

[calif 15-22]

DD I gotta say . . . I will never be able to shoot that well, and am in AWE of those that can and do!

Kudos as well for even entertaining us mere mortals with your skills . . . Well done sir!
