Well, I took her out to the range today, and fired 150 rounds.  6 of the magazines I had were old, worn down, with very weak mag springs.  Two were brand new.  Now onto the range time...

The problem I had was quite simple.  The damn thing didn't care.  150 rounds down the pipe, not one failure.  Recoil is so light that the sights lined up perfectly with each follow up shot.  Its so fricken accurate, that at 10 yards, I had 15 holes touching one another.

The problem is that HK's are so consistently reliable, accurate, and tough that they're becoming boring to own

I think I'm going to have to start buying other handguns to make my range experiences a bit more interesting.  This whole 'shooting every bullet into the same hole' and 'gun always firing when the trigger is pulled' crap is really getting old

Sounds like some IPSC/IDPA matches may cure you of this boredom??????

 My USP9f is loaded and near me right now.  Best fullsize 9mm I have ever shot.

I do alot of run and gun at the range I have access to now, just trying to bring up/build some barriers to shoot around, makes things more interesting.

From what i understand about those leagues, I'd score horrible because the way I'd be shooting would be more tactical, instead of for what they consider points.

Not sure If follow the last comment?  If you are putting that many "touching holes" together in your training, as long as you aren't practicing "knee cap" shots you would do well.  Both are about the balance of speed and accuracy.  If you can shoot that accurate on the clock then you are in for a good time.
