Hello all!
Just wanted to download some info about my new gun. After doing a lot of research and asking questions I settled on the H&K for a few reasons. 1: I have friends with Sigs, M&P, Glocks and Berrettas, so I wanted something different then any of them. 2: I wanted a high end firearm that will last a lifetime. I'm the type of person who would rather have a few premier guns than a whole safe full of 'everyday' pistols. 3: It had to be a DA/SA with a hammer and a safety.
Some on here complain about H&K's being to expensive 'for what you get', but I think that any quality built firearm is going to come with a price tag attached. For the most part, fire arms and shooting isn't that expensive when you start comparing it to other hobbies. What I paid for my gun and 1000 rds of ammo would barely cover the expense of a pair of new motocross boots and high end helmet. I won't even go into the $10,000 investment in the motocross bike and all the other goodies you need to be involved in the sport. I have heard horror stories about H&K customer service and the difficulty in trying to find parts but I'm OK with that because most people who have own H&K's (that I talked too) hadn't really had to many problems.
First time out I put 200 rounds of ammo through the gun basically just making noise and having some fun. In that 200 rounds I had to 'failure to eject' issues. Once I dumped the magazine and manually worked the slide to get the spent casing out of the chamber I was good to go. A little concered but figured I would get some rounds through this girl to 'break her in'. From looking at the targets I was shooting it seemed to shoot a little low. Was it the gun, was it me? Not sure, but again, I wanted to get more time on it before I got to worried. I ran the target out to 80 feet and was able to put 8 of 10 'on the body' of a 'man' sized target. All in all I was happy with the day and the gun.
Second trip was 300 rounds and I found the accuracy problem was more me than the gun. I was getting more comfortable in the way things worked and was shooting much better. In that 300 rounds I had one more 'failure to eject'. All three failure came with the same Blazer ammo. I ran 50 rounds of a buddies ammo through it without any problems. Just some reference to put my mind at ease.
Third time out was a tactical shooting course over in Michigan. No failures all day and we worked our guns hard. Accuracy was pretty good considering I was learning a totally new way of shooting a gun. I spoke with one of the guys at the pro shop about my failures and he told me I needed to get some more time on it before I worried. H&K's are a little picky about ammo apparently so I will try some other brands till I find what works best.
I am super happy with my gun and eventuall will get a H&K 45 to add to the family.
