An alternative to Sig X-Five please

[Wess1911]

Need help guys !

A friend of mine keeps loosing points to an X-Five user. These guys are Bulls eye shooting only and he gets whipped by the X-Five. He owns a HK USP expert in 9mm. He doesn't like 1911 (I told him to get a STI like I did but, what are you going to do!). What are his alternatives besides a S&W 952 ?

Keep in mind they only shoot bullseye !

Go ahead, feed me !

Longslide Glock 17...the 1911 is the way to go IMHO.

Has he considered that it may not be the guns fault?

Why not something like a Pardini shooting 32 S&W long?

 

[Wess1911]

Regarding that Pardini... Got pics ? What is this ?

By the way, it's probably not the shooter since he's doing great with an X-Five. The thing is , they're like two neighbors and their lawnmoers...

Just checked the Pardini web site. WOW They look great. Anybody knows who sells them. They have these neat 9mm guns.

If he's using an HK Expert, odds are the problem is on the user side of things.

Tell him to get a Norinco and show em up real good!

P226 with a trigger job. That's the simplest idea. Or a custom 1911 but then it will cost as much as an X-5.

How about a P210, or a S&W 952 long slide? Both big money.

Go old school and get a S&W 686.

Can't agree with you more! One cannot solve the problem by throwing more hardware to it. Try more training and more practice.

Can he shoot X-five better than his HK?

 

[Wess1911]

This is too good !

I'm the one who started this and I know my friend is reading everything you guys wrote and he must be sssssssooooooooooo frustrated.

He'll keep practicing alright... and buy a 4000$ gun !

I know I shoot an X-Five better than his HK. Plastic guns don't do it for me. Not enought weight. I guess it's the same for him.

There you have it. Operator error or preference: he's probably gripping and shooting the gun in a specific way that works well enough for, let's say, an HK... but is better suited for the grip/ergonomics of a SIG. It might be easier for him to replace the firearm instead of modifying the way he shoots.

If he's only shooting bullseye, why no go with a S&W M52 in 38SPL?
