Finally got my Hk45C out to the range today. Bought it used with Heinie Straight 8 night sights. The Range I shot at limited minimum distance to 25' so all groups were shot at 25.'
Initial Impressions:
The slim backstrap made the gun very pointable. Where-ever I pointed was where my sights were aligned. Instinctive and intuitive much like the 1911. The grip of the HK45C however, is not as comfortable as the fullsize HK45 or P30. I'm still on the fence about the Heinie Straight 8s--they're supposedly faster than 3 dot sights but the 2 dot system takes some getting used to. Also, the front sight is somewhat hard to pick-up so I painted it orange.
One thing I do not like about the HK45C is small capacity. 8rds of .45ACP with the same size as my commander 1911. The only advantage over the 1911 is the DA/SA trigger and decocker.
Range results:
Average Group:
5 shots at 25 feet, slow fire, offhand. (The 2nd concentric circle is about ~3.6")
Best 5 shot group at 25 feet, slow fire, offhand
20 shot pattern, 25 feet. Fast aimed fire. (Bang, reset, obtain sight picture, bang)
8 shots in double taps at 25 feet.
Overall decently satisfied, but I definitely need more range time to get used to the trigger.
==========================
Shot my G19 yesterday. Love the trigger. Good sized pattern (better than those crappy patterns I'm showing above). I *REALLY* love my G19.
