Thanks for the inputs. Scubber

New guy here. I recently finished school and now carry a HK USP Compact .40 w/ the LEM trigger for work. It has been my experience that the fastest way to learn and improve in just about any subject is to either teach it or compete in it. I am certainly not ready to teach so I am interested in competition. I am thinking of using a HK USP 9mm compact to compete in production. I have read a lot of the posts on this site and can find very little support for HK on this site. Seems like everyone uses a Sig, Glock, CZ or Para gun. I want to use the HK so that all of my muscle memory remains the same from work to competition. I don't want to have a "bobble" due to using a different gun between the two cost me at work. The 9 would be the same except for recoil and cost. The 9 should be much cheaper to operate without reloading. I'm not ready to get into that yet. Why are so few guys competing with HK's? Will I be handicaping myself to use this gun? Most folks seem to like the HK but they don't compete with it. Why? Thank you. Scubber

Is the HK LEM (Variation 7) trigger legal in IPSC and IDPA events? I guess the Springfield XD is not, from what I have read. Don't want to buy a gun that limits me before I even start. Thanks Scubber

Brand new guy here. I have been reading this forum and have a few questions. Please forgive me if they are repeats but I searched and could not find answers to these questions. I am just learning to shoot. I have taken all the safety classes and shot several hundred rounds. What standards are a good place to start before increasing speed, ie these are all slow fired, not timed, just learning not to blink, flinch, jerk etc. Learming to call the shot etc At 7 yards I can put, 9 of 10 in a 3 inch target. Standing in an isoc stance, two handed. Is this OK? How many should I be able to do at say 10 15 20 or 25 yards and in how big of a circle? At what ranges for various targets? What ranges should I practice at? & yards, 25 yards and 50? I get the impression that I should be able to hit 10 of 10 in an 8 inch group/target at 25 yards. Yes? Where do you get the IPSC targets? None of the gun stores I have been to sell them. Most ranges that I have called do not allow rapid fire. Where are you guys getting to practice rapid fire and drawing at? Thank you Scubber
