washguy Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Guys Me and Char went to the range Saturday,and after shooting rifles went to the pistol range.....they had the backstop moved away a lil,bout at 20yds I guess.....so Char and her lil STI escort carry was laying in groups in the x ring...go girl Here's my problem The HK USP uses a deadhold sight picture....the target has to be covered up completely......I put the shortest front sight on it,but still shoots low...tight groups but low. I know its self defence type weapon but daaamn I ought be able to get near the first ring? she gave me her beloved escort and I put 6 shots some in the x and other right beside.. So whats up with this HK? Im thinkin it may have to go into the deep end of the gunsafe....im hating it ! opinions please :) Wash
gnatshooter Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Changing the ammo could change the point of impact. Go with a heavier bullet, it would raise the muzzle more during dwell time.
shibiwan Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Sell it to me for tree fiddy. <lmao> <laughs>
Magwa Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 A kimber 45 acp will cure that problem..... :) just sayin.....
Sisco Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Changing the ammo could change the point of impact. Go with a heavier bullet, it would raise the muzzle more during dwell time. Get a few boxes of different weight ammo and see which does the best. That is why I always buy adjustable sights on my pistols. Hope you find something that works.

washguy Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Okay...ill get some heavy... been shootin 115 and 124...so theres only like 147 left to try?... I did hit 5 out of 6 swingers one try ,but crap all i could see was the back of my hand with the sights right there...well, I guess a home defense gun it is what it is....pisses me off Char and her lil gun shootin lights out....then I cant hit crap with the HK...then I take her STI and smack the x ring almost everytime using the 6 oclock hold crap! I wanna see the frickin target when I pull the trigger :) Wash
Magwa Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 It is all good just remember targets are just paper in a defense situation you will not care if you can see the back of your hand .....
Microgunner Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 I used to own a USP 40 that shot to point of aim, very accurately I might add. Something may be wrong with your 9.

Microgunner Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 IIRC the USP did require a center of target hold but not to the point of obstructing the bullseye. My HK 45C and P7 use a 6 o'clock hold.

Powerman Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Yes, HKs have dead on hold. It can be a little irritating if you are bullseye shooting.... but for what it is. It's fine. I know in a defensive situation... I'm going to hit what I aim at. I usually just have to get over it and it's all good. I have The Trijicon HDs on one of mine. When I just focus on the front, and "look through it", things work fine. Another has the factory Mepros. Still dead on hold... but that one does not seem to bother me as much. Not sure why. If I really do want to shoot bullseye, then I just shoot 6 o'clock hold. Yes it's low, but I have a reference point to shoot, and I shoot tight groups. I have a 3rd on the way that will get HDs too. Can't wait.
washguy Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 Its a fine piece....got the mep nightsights on mine.....maybe more practice is in order....but still as ive found out its not made for bullseye shootin..... :) Wash
Powerman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Its a fine piece....got the mep nightsights on mine.....maybe more practice is in order....but still as ive found out its not made for bullseye shootin..... :) Wash I do agree. At the range... you need that reference point. You need a "point" to reference. I know exactly what you mean. Bullseye shooters do not use dead on hold. there is a reason. But defensively, shooting center mass..... ya, I have no problem with that. I'll hit what is in front of me. And I am starting to get used to that big orange dot of the HD. Starting to really like it. Obviously that does not work in the dark.... but bringing up that big orange dot with dead on hold... it's working. I just sort of found that looking "through" the front sight, and looking at my target "picture"... instead of target "point"... I do just fine. And defensively, that is what I should be doing anyway. So I sort of think it is good for that.
washguy Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 Power you are right on.....but what gets me ,is when me and Char go to the range...she takes her STI escort carry gun and just riddles the bull....then she takes her STI elektra and once again kicks my azz....Im always explaining to her that the HK isnt for target shooting all I get is a freakin wink and a belly laff from her....put the escort or elektra in my hand and I shoot right with her...sumbitch! :) Wash
98Z5V Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 ^^^ Sounds like Operator Error... <lmao> :eek: :hornet:
planeflyer21 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I think we need to take up a collection and get a motivational tool for wash. For Char to wear. :whip2: :hornet: Edited June 30, 2014 by planeflyer21
Microgunner Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe the USP's grip size and trigger reach are too much for you. I think the 1911 is a much easier pistol to grip.
washguy Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 Micro never thought of that although it feels good in my hand.....the belly laff is all the motivational tools I need ......she refuses to shoot the HK.... whats the point she tells me....geeeez :) Wash
98Z5V Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Wash, this poor thread has grown to 2 pages now. I'll take that dastardly pistol off your hands, at this point. You hate it, it does you no good, and Char outshoots you when you're on that thing. Lemme do you a favor, brother... <lmao>

Rsquared Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Any other HK's you get tired of, feel free to send em this way too. I've never met an HK I didn't like. <laughs>
