Week 168: Favorite Weapons

[BES]

See that? He's with me. LOL I about pissed myself watching his consecutive clean 25 yard runs just over 4 seconds.

Lol I think want a KKM Comp now just because of how fun it is to shoot.

I'm in that camp too. It sounds like a good time!

Talionis,

Your VP9 total is super impressive. Great shooting! Just curious, how do you have it configured for competitions ?

Thanks, BES! Strong work yourself. Without derailing a drill thread: my competition VP9 has Dawson sights (FO .100 front; black .125 rear), a slightly lighter striker spring, and it has an "ultra match" trs/sear spring kit from hkparts, which I will be removing from the gun in the next few days in favor of a fully HK solution. Oh, and many thousands of trigger pulls worth of polishing.

Do NOT! It is a corruptor. A path to ruination I say!

String 1: Place the target at 7 yards. At the start signal, shoot 3 body and 2 head.

String 2: Place the target at 25 yards. At the start signal, shoot 5 body.

Target used: USPSA Metric

Gun used: G43
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.56 + 0 = 1.56
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 3.66 + 1.00 (2C) = 4.66
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 6.22
Anything you noticed: Great gun for its size. Sure takes work to run it well though.

Gun used: Gen3 G21
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.52 + 0 = 1.52
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 2.74 + 1.00 (2C)= 3.74
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 5.26
Anything you noticed: G21 shoots really nice. I definitely prefer 9mm, but it's easy to forget how nice the G21 shoots.

Gun used: Gen3 G26
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.31 + 0 = 1.31
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 2.99 + 0.50 (1C) = 3.49
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 4.80
Anything you noticed: G26 is a great gun. But I definitely don't shoot it as well as the 17 or 34. Hell of a lot better than the 43 though.

Gun used: Gen3 G17
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.28 + 0 = 1.28
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 2.36 + 0.50 (1C) = 2.86
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 4.14
Anything you noticed: Full frame, full grip, now we're talking. The G17 is the true Glock. Snappier than the 34 though. What a great gun.

Gun used: Gen3 G34
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.24 + 0 = 1.24
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 2.23 + 0 = 2.23
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 3.47
Anything you noticed: I love this gun, duh! Certainly I am more attuned to it than the others. It just runs so nicely - nice trigger, movement in recoil, soft. Favorite weapons? Yes for me.

Holy Glockamolie!

There it is

Gabe's results totally confirm my experience, which is the G26/19 are no disadvantage up close, and the longer sight radius models come into their own at longer distances. Especially the 34 at 20-25 yards.

Talionis, you need an HK 1911 to give it a fair test.

[Range1]

Target used: USPSA Metric
Gun used: Gen 3 Glock 22 with 9mm conversion
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 4.20
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 7.90
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 12.10

Target used: USPSA Metric
Gun used: M&P .40 FS
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 7.84
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 8.68
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 16.52

Anything you noticed: I like the .40 round but the 9mm is easier and more pleasant to shoot for sure. The M&P feels better in the hand, I did better with the Glock. Feelings can and sometimes do lie.

Would like to run this again with these two and a couple more handguns including my old issued .357 if I get the chance before the deadline.

[JHC]

Target used: IDPA mostly, mixed a USPSA Metric at 25 yds

Gun used: RTF2 G19 with KKM compensator
Score (time plus penalties) for String 1: 1.95 clean
Score (time plus penalties) for String 2: 3.07 clean
Total score (String 1 + String 2): 5.02
Anything you noticed: I shot this a few times and a few other drills to get a better feel of the sights with the speed and recoil behavior using the comp. It makes you go too fast sometimes it seems. But this was my last of several with this pistol.

I also used it to shoot a 7.73 El Prez with one C which I think might be a PR and a 5 shot 25 yard slowfire group of 1.5" with the 124 Lawman.

I think it's my "favorite" now.
