Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. The HK USP expert can now be used in USPSA production with the Magwell removed.
  2. I dont know where you are finding your mags... $29. Great service, fast shipping. I even got some swag throw in the one time there was a slight mess up in an order. http://www.hkspecialiststore.com/product_detail.php?Home_Page=Search&Index_Seq=643&Page_Number=1&Search_Per_Page=10&Adv_Search=0&Keyword=p30&In_Stock=Y&Search_Category=0&Category=10&Price_Low=0&Price_High=999999
  3. I have shot 10,000x?? of precision bullets through my USP series in 40. I have gone at times several thousand rounds between a cleaning while doing some courses. I bulk purchased way to much titegroup and load with that, its really too hot and if I start cranking up the charge you can end up burning up the round coating which then really gets things dirty quick. Hard to beat the price of the rounds for bulk reloading. My 650 and KISS bullet feader seem to do really well with them. Racine... I will have to look into that Moly Magic. I only clean with an ultrasonic and spend very little time cleaning I must admit and I should maybe spend a little bit more time with barrel (the rest of the gun is spotless).
  4. Please let us know when we can place the order... I am in for at least a set, adjustables if they are out there would be awesome. Have you gotten conformation on a slide as yet? I have a slide that I can send in anytime.
  5. Jay Send the press back... do it now... but order a super1050~~~ Just kidding, well kind of. +1 to all the posts above. I work a Military and LEO training center and load countless glock fired brass from the range. Rarely if ever have any issue in my HKs, Sigs M&Ps or Glocks.
  6. I run mine at 35 yard zero if I am running my red dot on my low profile rail (lose the factory stuff). Hits about 1.5" low at 15 and about 1.5 above at 100. Makes for easy accurate enough highspeed drills in a 3 gun. I set it for 100m with my nightforce NSX-t 2.5~10 scope. I am looking at running a burkett offset mount soon. Might try the deltapoint for the close in stuff. Its no JP CRT-02 rifle, but it sure gets attention when I pull it out of the case. With the SJC titan break I have on it holds pretty steady when rocking and rolling. Here is vid at the zombie shoot....

    Holster for P30

    How do you compare your p30l to your glock 35. Two pistols I am on the fence about. (either in 9 or 40).
  8. Surely dawson precision should be jumping on this. With the P30 starting to gain a lot of sales and a place in IDPA and USPSA production I cant see them not wanting to.
  9. I work at a military and LEO training center and I have a few of the instructors tell me the same thing about the thumb placement when holstering. Showing them the holster and the pistol and making it activate the trigger they are all in awe and have not sceen that before. A few have said they have seen similar with "safe action" single pull pistols but that was a result more often of clothing or fingure placement when holstering. They dont see race holsters on the ranges lol... FYI... the dynamics of a bullet impact are pretty neat.. the top of foot is crazy sore and bruised now. The only thing I can think of is looking at my shoe the bullet got tangled up in the nylon and it snapped the top of my shoe across the top of my foot as it dissappated energy... as a paramedic its pretty cool.. to bad its on my foot.
  10. After shooting one of the steel stages I was holstering my pistol when I had the pistol discharge as it was going into the holster. The round fired through my holster, through my jeans in several places and into the right side of my foot. The bullet was recovered in my shoe. The bullet caused a 3 laceration requiring a series of stitches. Most of the damage was from the hydrostatic impact of the round and it cause some fair local tissue damage. In any event I was extremely lucky, I will be left with some scaring, a sore foot, and a limp for a few weeks… and of course one battered ego. So I figured as this is a safety issue I might as well call myself out on it as a learning opportunity, so I started going down the list of what I did to recreate the issue. First I was running my HK USP Expert in .40 with a CR speed II holster. Two products I love. 1.Did I not clear my trigger finger? Possible but I really dont think so. The pistol was locked into the CR speed catch and I had to pull it out after the round went off. 2.Did I forget to activate my safety - YES (kind of). I was running production where I needed to pull from a double action to start, I had just changed mags, hit my decocker and was holstering. So like my other USPs I dont ru n with the safety on when pulling from double action… in hind sight, maybe that needs to change, I only ran clocked and locked when running ESP. But please feel free to chime in here, I think from now on one consistent draw motion for all classes would be prudent. Most of my other pistols dont have a thumb safety and are activated by the trigger (glock & MP) or back straps types (XD etc) or just longer pulls like my HK LEMs or SIG DAKs. 3.Did my clothing catch? I am highly suspicious of this.. I was wearing a loose sweater as it was colder. I usually run more normal holsters for my other weapons and never have had issues. However, with the Ghost or CR Speed holsters it would be quite easy to get something caught up into the trigger guard.&n bsp; Needless to say, some more specific shooting clothing is in order. I actually dressed down from what I usual wear and train in when training with work. 4.Finally… was there a pistol / holster interface issue… this was interesting…So I searched on the net when I got home and found this >>> I was wondering if any other contributers out there had problems with the CR-Speed holster when using a USP ? I was unlucky enough to have my first accidental discharge in 25 years of shooting, ….. Anyhow, the problem exists that the USP has an exposed trigger bar which is wider than the trigger guard.. and the CR-Speed holster has two fingers that lock around the guard to cover the trigger... By trying it at home later on it was possible to trip and fire the action on about 70% of reholsterings.. which is kinda scary because if you don't positively remember to set the safety, or it fails then you are likely to have a little accident. This problem seems unique to the USP as most all other semi auto's have their actuating hardware inside the frame rather than externally…. Typically the instructor told me later he had seen another incident similar to mine.... I cannot say for certain that this was the case. I have been able to catch the trigger bars and activate th e trigger if the pistol is angled just right when putting into my holster. Needless to say, I have another full body holster on its way that I will be using with this pistol. If I go back to my CR Speed holster I will be using it in enhanced cocked and locked with positive activation of the safety. Hope you get something out of reading this..
  11. http://www.howeandhowetechnologies.com/ripchair.php From the discovery Channel, then if you want to keep the TV theme going did Red Jacket "Sons of Guns" not make a shotgun mount for an ATV.
  12. Wow... Sitting here in the fire station waiting for the next call he just reminded to get my ass up and do something of value. Thanks for posting.. that adds some prespective to things.
  13. I have shot close to 20k of precision bullets through my 40. I dont find it leads bad at all and easy to clean. Seems to group very well. I have done 2000 round range session during some tactical training classes without any issues.

    And send it to Bruce Grey to get the trigger worked on. How did you win a p30L...jealous

    Yeah everybody seems to hit that decocker down and mess up at some point during a stage, never in practice.. go figure, you are right with getting you kit squared away. I switch my USP 40 full sized to right side decocker only. This way there is nothing on my left side of the gun to mess me up. I might look at this for my Expert. It seems the expert take more of a swing of the control arm to decock, but like you said, it will hapen during the worse time.
