HK Handguns

[Kid Shelleen]

Never heard anything but good about the guns. Never heard anything but bad about the company.

If they don't want my "civilian" business, I'll be happy not to give it to them.

Pretty dumb attitude. They are missing out on a huge market segment. Just my personal opinion.

I know this will seem hypocritical but even though I really like the two HKs I own I will not buy another.  I plan to only purchase American made weapons from now on, so that there will be american gun manufactures in the future. 

No Glocks, no Sigs, no HKs, no CZs, no Tikkas, no Sakos, no Benellis, no Taurus, no SKBs, no Hublu, Fratelli Bertuzzi, no Serbu, no Steyr, no Walther, no Bersa, no Armsco, no EAA, no Franchi, .....

Noted and adopted.

Thanks for making me think about my choices and making the right decisions in the future.

It's not really even a sacrifice. American gun manufacturers put out some fine weapons. I really appreciate you making me stop to think. I have been making an effort to look for and buy American in other aspects of my life, I fell pretty dumb for not applying the same logic to firearms purchases.

Thanks again from a new convert. I hope that your post makes others rethink their future purchases as well.

Sig is made in Exeter NH, I believe they bought out the parent Swiss company. And I heard, probably on here, that while Glock is Austrian owned the ones we get are made in Georgia, I would look a little closer at Serbu as well as I believe they are in Fl.

I have never actually fired one, but I just don't get the H&K thing. The fit and finish look great and they're used by some of the MOST serious operators, but the fact is, for a putz like me I just can't justify the extra 3 or 400 dollars for the name.

Which companies are American then? Last I heard, S&W was owned by a Brittish company. With all of the foreign investors, are there any more 100% American guns?

As far as the HK USP, I have one from when they first hit the market. It's a good gun and I only paid what a Glock was going for back then. I wouldn't pay what they ask now.

Good to know. I still don't really care for S&W autos, but I love their revolvers. I know 2 separate cops who say that cops only carry S&W because they are forced to. One is forced to and the other carries a Sig. They both admit that the M&P feels good however.

Well all i can add to this is I own Glocks,Rugers,Springfieldarmory,Bersa,Beretta,Taurus, and Eaa. All my guns are trust worthy and ready to do work. I bought my Springfield 1911's because its an all American piece of history, but there made in Brazil. So does it make them any less worthy i dont know, but I keep one at the ready at all times.

Some models of HK pistols are fitted with RFID tracking devices. I would not own one.
