This morning HK and pistol-training.com had a little get together at the HK booth. While there I was able to grab a photo of Todd Green of pistol-training.com next to his tortured tested HK 45 and P30 and a giant stack of empty ammo boxes.
Todd Green and his tortured HKs
Todd Green is younger than I thought. I don’t know why but I pictured him for being a crotchety old guy. No offense intended.
Wow yeah, TG looks way different without his baseball cap and glasses!
Nope, just a crotchety middle-aged guy.
Great hanging out with you and Caleb, Shelley! Something tells me that most of the Gun Nuts readers would have much preferred a picture of you standing next to that display…
I just hope that I can get to be a better shooter by osmosis by spending time in the same room as you, Todd!
According to the doc at my last check-up, I don’t have anything you can get by osmosis.
Genius promotion!
I read Todd’s torture test on the HK45. I convinced me to buy one, and I love it.
I agree after reading Todd’s site for a while he looks different than I expected.
Oh yea and PLEASE PLEASE show us what LWRC has to offer this year!!
Todd’s torture test would have totally pulled me into the world of H&K…if the magazine release didn’t always feel like it was stabbing me in the finger when I try to operate it. I don’t know if I’m “doing it wrong” or if my hands just aren’t the right shape. But, either way, I’m not keen on a gun that hurts to use.
It’s a shame too, because the HK45 felt REALLY nice in my hands, and the trigger even more so. Such a change from the USPs.
Did you read the interview about the HK45 over at pistol-training?

Not sure how much that Vickers Mod they are talking about costs, but even $100-200 isn’t that much compared to the cost of a gun, or the cost of a custom 1911 that would be comparable to it, according to some pretty expert guys anyway.
