Helloooo HK....goodbye SIG

doc540 · July 24, 2009, 08:35 PM

First range trip with the HK I bought this afternoon.

The SIG 2002 shoots great with the Bill Springfield trigger job, but the HK just feels more "natural" in my hands. I think it's just a matter of ergonomics.

And I really like the decocker/safety as well as the mag release.

I'm shipping the HK to Bill Monday for one of his excellent trigger jobs.

Doc's a happy camper.

Glad this is working out for you, nice shooting.

Nothing beats the gun that feels right.

Sigs are my thing, though. hehe

Very nice

What model did you pick up?

doc540 · July 25, 2009, 09:53 AM

full size USP

I'm a SIG fan from the word go. But I've heard wonderful things about HK. My buddy has a couple, and he swears by them. He's a smith at one of my locals and I respect his opinion. I've never had a privilege to shoot an HK yet. Looking forward to hooking up with him at the range to do so.

Glad you like your recent addition. Just because I'm a SIG fan doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good firearm.

Axel357 · July 25, 2009, 10:05 AM

Nice choice, as I certainly love mine. Had I looked closer I now see that "USP" was noted on the target

Looks sweet, doc! I like the red, and addition to the grip. I'm starting to want an HK now.

gun_king · July 25, 2009, 11:06 PM

Nice shooting. I too enjoy an HK. Also thanks for that pic. Another one to drool over. Haha.

Nice lookin gun, but I dunno about the red lettering on there. That may take some getting used to.

Nice gun, nice shooting, but please... get rid of the lipstick. :barf:

doc540 · July 26, 2009, 10:43 AM

don't like the red??

Wait till I slap on my "Mr. Horsepower" woodpecker decals!

We used to have a deputy that swore by HK, that is, until he starting having trouble with one and had to deal with their C.S. He also had his FFL and sold pistols, HK included. The last I heard he'd gotten rid of them all. I've shot a few H.K.'s and they all shoot okay, really no better or worse than a SIG though. For me, I'll stick with an all metal gun, but it's what works best for you. The red coloring sure is pretty though.

I am issued a P2000 and have in the past been issued a USPc and P2000sk. Our agency will not allow us to use the grip thing you have installed because in the past they have worked upward and precluded the magazine release lever from being actuated.

Keep practicing...that HK is well capable of one hole groups at that range...
