Larry Vickers Fires 50,000th Round in HK45 Pistol Endurance Test
Fayetteville, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- If you’re like me, you’ve been following the HK45 endurance test over at Pistol-Training.com.
The test finally concluded at 50,000 rounds and I was honored to fire the 50,000th round through the gun that I helped bring into existence.
As expected, the gun passed the test with flying colors and amazingly experienced only a couple of minor problems… all while going 10,000 rounds between cleanings!
Thanks to Todd for letting me shoot the 50,000th round!
PRODUCT NEWS
DANIEL DEFENSE: I recently heard a great quote from a student… “When choosing an AR, get one that was made for hunting people, not animals.” What he was getting at was the fact that Mil-Spec ARs were designed for combat. Any major deviation from Mil-Spec is a gamble on usefulness and reliability. Thankfully, Daniel Defense makes some of the best Mil-Spec guns on the market… And they live up to their motto. Lighter. Stronger. Better.
Daniel Defense has a new carbine on the market that I really like. The slick top DDM4 V5 is similar to a standard DDM4 except that it uses a mid-length gas system for additional potential reliability and a spacious 12 inch rail to protect your hands from the low profile gas block. It’s available in a standard or lightweight profile too. The V5 comes with a MagPul MOE buttstock and a 30 round PMag, a Daniel Defense vertical grip and it’s all packaged in a hardshell case. Check it out at DanielDefense.com
The Daniel Defense/Vickers Tactical Signature Series Carbine has been a success and is almost sold out. If you want one, you need to order it online ASAP. Remember it comes with most everything you need right out of the box. Aimpoint, Surefire, sling… all set up in the manner I prefer. Order yours at DanielDefense.com
RUDY PROJECT: I’m proud to announce a special offer for all of my friends and fans… a Rudy Project Discount Coupon Code. Use the code VICKERS during checkout at e-rudy.com and get 40% off my favorite styles of shooting glasses and sunglasses.
