If your going to start using logic and reason around here I'm leaving.

dry firing a striker-fire gun is okay (such as the XD, Glock, etc). it does not have a hammer, but uses small pins inside of the gun to strike the bullet. theres nothing there to ruin it.

that should be the correct answer ;)

I tried the relaxed arm and fingertip trigger pull but with the bad ammo there were too many variables.


I think the anticipating comment is right, I try to get to the point of being suprised by the shot. Maybe the anxiety of the test looimg is killing my nervs.

I shot like crap. I have at H&K USPC .40, its a great gun except It seems to shoot low and to the left. It seemed like I dialed it in by aiming 4" right and 4" up until I tried the 21' range and it was worse. I tried a range bag and winchester ammo and it seemed to work at 9" but back out to 21' and it was not much better. I shot 100rds of the online ammo and I think i t messed me up. I'm afraid that I would fail the shooting part. I know the guns is good there is nothing mechanically wrong.

I don't shoot the .40 often enough, maybe once a month, usually 50 rounds and then several huindred 22lr rounds.

I have a ruger mark II and I can shoot pretty good with it (little to no recoil!!)

I may go shoot again on monday with good ammo. Can anyone recomend the best ammo for hitting the target.
