Great pics and vid!
Scott, I notice you look at the target after every shot.
Don't do that. LOL
I have the ability to shoot tiny groups with handguns until the last shot or so. I'll almost always pull one or two out when I see a tiny group. Why? Cuz I look at the damn target. LOL.
I agree but I never advise anyone to get one. It's a delayed-blowback design using chamber flutes and a gas-retarded piston to slow slide opening. It carbon-fouls quicker than a bad AR and *requires* a full cleaning every 200 rounds. The older I get, the less I tolerate high-maintenance guns.Ben's pistols, that HK was pretty sweet

Then let me amend - It requires cleaning if you put 200 rounds of typical (read: fairly dirty) range ammo through it in a day....I'd bet he hasn't cleaned it 5 times in the 20+ years...

I haven't cleaned the pistol since the range day. I'll leave it alone and bring it to the next meetup. As soon as you try to move the slide, you'll understand. Then I'll disassemble it and show you the mechanism. It's a wonderful, slick pistol and if I could only own one centerfire autoloader, it would be that one. The ergonomics are just too good to pass up. But the design requires a person to dedicate themselves to it, to the unique manual of arms, and to obsessive levels of interior cleanliness in order to use the pistol to its potential.

There was a butt load of holes in the tin overhead down at the rifle end of the range. That's almost more disturbing than the pistol end having holes in it.
Ben. Thanks for the information on that pistol. It was actually on my list of choices for a 22 SA. I will take it off now.
My mistake. I thought he was referring to what was behind the sparrow.
