Septembers U.B.C Competition & Side Shoot Results

[Jan McArthur]

Any thing is possible

If the gun feel's right in your hand it will improve your scores.
You already mentioned your scores have improved now its just a case of practice, practice, practice and I am sure you'll get there

Jan, do you fire it single or double action?

Tony

I even fire my cartridge guns single action. I like to have the control that the single action provides.

However, I understand that there is a Police Pistol Competition coming up, where I will need to fire double action, so I will be practicing.

This is a fun sport, because I am really competing against myself, and if I improve, then that is good. If I don't beat anyone, it doesn't matter, because I am not as experienced as all of you.

I won't be showing off if I don't improve my score - rather I will be hiding my face in shame!!

Jan

I don't bother hiding now with my scores I'm used to it .Why do you think I always wear camo

How do you find the WEIGHT of it, Jon? One-handed, that is?

Jim

The HW70 certainly feels light to me in both one and two-handed holds, I didn't realise it was 10oz heavier than the P3/HW40. It's not so much the weight, but the narrowness and hollow feel of the grip that I think makes it difficult to keep stable one-handed. Trigger control is also harder than with the HW40, due to both the inferiority of the trigger mechanism and the lack of an ergonomic grip. Still, it's a lot more fun to use and when you put in a good group it's a lot more satisfying.

I too wish the HW40 was a bit heavier, especially at the muzzle. I might have a go at adding some weight...

Great idea!!

Maybe I'll try hiding from all the students who come to my office by wearing camo. Do you think it will work?

Hmm....maybe I better just go the whole route and get an HW 45.

[Jon]

Ah, I wouldn't do that, Jim. If you want size, power and recoil you have access to many fine cartridge pistols. My comments on the grip & one-handed use might just be down to me or my shooting technique (or lack thereof). The HW70 is still a great gun. It's a lot easier to shoot accurately than the HW45 and a lot more user-friendly and fun on long plinking sessions too, despite its flaws. Is there any way you can try before you buy?

What it really needs is a custom grip. I think someone on here did a good one a little while ago

Come on Jim the answer is simple, buy Jan a HW45 for her birthday.

You get a new gun to shoot and a present for your lovely wife.

Jan don't read this it's a surprise.
