At what distance were you shooting?
After several weeks of reading, going to the range and spending almost $175 on rentals, range time and ammo I think I have decided on the H&K 45C.
I went to 2 different ranges and rented 3 different guns. Targets are shown for each. I think I was less accurate with the Springfield 9mm than the 45's in general which is kinda weird and i think I was a little more accurate with the Springfield XD45 over the HK. The HK was a standard USP 45 not the newer compact 45 with the different grip and the green Luminova sights on it. I like the feel of the new HK45 over the USP version, the grip just seems better to me.
I will have to wait another 31 days before I do paperwork for it because when I was at the range last week i decided on a cheap to shoot all the time gun to improve technique (grip, stance, trigger control etc etc.) I bought myself a Sig Mosquito and will pick it up friday after work. Feels much more like a real gun in the hand than the Walther p22. I can shoot 200+ rounds without breaking the bank account on 45 acp ammo.
Let me know what you think of my target sessions. There are 2 different targets for the HK usp45, one for the SAXD 9mm compact and one for the SAXD 45.

At what distance were you shooting?
this was right about 30 feet. 50 rounds for each of the 4 targets.
Your doing well!!!
Can I have your Mosquito when you get your H&K 45C?
Ok that was dumb.
Anyway I think the H&K 45C is a really great handgun. I shot one a couple weeks ago and I felt very comfortable with it. Congrats on that one, if you decide to go for it.
I like my mosquito. the trigger is a little strong for the DA, and bit small for my fat finger. I do like the safties and decocker. Mine came with a little rubber thing that allows you to dryfire.
It is nowhere as accurate as my FNP 9, or let me rephrase that, I am not as accurate with the Mosquito as I am with the 9.![]()
I am getting close to getting enough rounds that I should be able to start feeding it the cheaper 22lr without issues. CCI mini mags are $8/hundred. I can get 9 for about 9/box of 50. that is not too much price difference.
Buy an extra mag if you can find one, it gives you a little more continuity at the range.
YMMV

Good shooting.
Congrats on your decision.
Pics will be required after you buy your new friend.
