All your shots were minute of bad guy, so you're doing fine in my book.

How you like the paddle mag release?

It's o.k. It takes some getting use. I use my index finger to manipulate it.

This is the way.

This is the way.

It stays fairly protected in holster? Really like shooting with the paddle, just never carried with it.

Yes. I carry a VP9 regularly. Both IWB kydex and OWB leather. Carried my VP9 today. No problem. I’ve been carrying it for a few years. The paddles will not be bothered at all by a holster.

Nice! I got used to the trigger finger release when shooting lefty and want to be able to do that from the right. Now just gotta find the right p30..

Nice shooting, all in all. I would slow down on the longer shots. A RDS would help accuracy, which I'm sure you already know. Keep the glasses and lose the gloves.

Years ago I reversed the mag releases on both of my M&Ps to work them with my index finger. My thumbs are short, and it works better for me that way.

I actually prefer the paddle/Euro release.

 

[AlBeight]

I actually prefer the paddle/Euro release.

I’ve found the paddles on my VP40 to be surprisingly intuitive and natural to use. One range session and I was more than used to the ergos, which is not typical of my usually complete resistance to any sort of change.

Thanks. I would really like to meet you someday. My reloads are horrible and I am outshooting my level of accuracy. I only wore the gloves because the weather was not so great yesterday.

I would press out on each and every shot unless doing a rapid fire or working controlled pair sight resets. Maximize every single shot. It makes you slow down by default so you can get quality hand grip and trigger presses each time.

Cool stuff. It rained all day where I was!

Thanks. The rain had slowed down a bit so I figured I would take advantage of the situation and get some training in.

Listen to the Blaster. He is a master.

I have both a VP9 and the VP9SK. Love the way they shoot, and the triggers seemed to break in and get better after about 100 rounds.
I love the Euro Paddle release ever since I first encountered it handling a P30 when I would demonstrate them in Realco when I worked there. In fact, that and the comfort of the grip is why I chose the gun(s) for my EDC.
Sly, I would say based on the targets in that video, that Bad Guys should worry around you. At 25 yards, that weren't bad atall at the rate of fire you had...(IMHO)

Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that the VP9 is an awesome pistol.....I really should shoot it more often. I see that you are in Bowie. Where do you often go to shoot?
