+David Wagner I just got my first BHP this week, in fact. Aim surplus had them for $450. It's pretty beat up. I haven't shot it yet. If you like the BHP, you should check out the CZ75.
The accuracy is why I have not bought one. The way the group patterns are. No sight adjustment will do any good. Have yet to see anyone that has been able to improve the accuracy. Magazine reviews also complain about how inaccurate it is. I want on badly but not accurate enough for my money. My Too FAT for me Grip Taurus PT101B 40cal. will stay within 3" at 50yds. Better at 25yds. etc. This M9A3 seems to have everything you would want. Except good consistent accuracy. That really sucks.
Probably to late to reply to this comment but if you haven’t bought one, but are still interested. I advise you don’t buy one. While the accuracy of mine is a tad better with multiple holes touching and a few way off fliers from the group. The problem I have is the overall finish.Seeing dings everywhere after disassembly. Especially on the frame. Honestly it’s horrid for a $1000 pistol. Without a doubt from factory too. Others like myself get so hyped up at the gun shop and miss some of these wild inexcusable dings blemishes. You can tell it’s factory because no coating finish is removed. When you ding aluminum it’s bright and shiny if deep enough and some of these are deep. There was only a couple on the slide and frame that I noticed until I got home and then I discovered the rest. Oh well is what I say. Be my first and last beretta. I wish I could post a video or pictures , but I can tell you that the complaints and post on ar15 net about customers m9a3’s are the same as mine. Google m9a3 finish problems. The most common is the chewed up looking rail. You can even see some on sootch00 review just look at the rail slots in front of the trigger guard(Dings) Sorry for ranting just want to give everyone a heads up before they by one as I was super disappointed after waiting two years to buy one.
I'd like to ask your opinion ,...I normally shoot at an indoor range that is only 20 meters ( just shy of 22 yards,), but I shoot half way with my handguns, i.e. 10 meters ( approx.11 yards ) , a lot of guys shoot at approx. 7 yards,...,so, the question is,...What is considered the optimum distance for target shooting with handguns ?
+Reg Sparkes Unless you're training for competitions, there really isn't an optimum distance for target shooting -- it all depends on what you're practicing for, and what you're comfortable with. If you're strictly practicing for self defense -- those ranges are going to be within 7 yards or closer. Still a good idea to go out further, though, because it will make you better up close. If you're just shooting for fun, then it's just want you want to shoot it at. Shoot close until you get good, then work on 1) shooting faster, or 2) shooting further. Or both. 25 yards is about as far as you need to go, though you could push it out to 50, if you're practicing for hunting.
+762x51n8o Thanks a lot for these points/answers, now I know. I just shoot for the fun of it, and mostly I usually shoot at the 10 meter ( or so ) distance. I sometimes try for the full length of the range, in my case 20 meters. ( actually, that's supposed to be spelled, metres, but I am not European ) I did try some 7 yard shooting yesterday, and I thought to myself, hey, those are close groupings. So what you've said holds true. Cheers
