HK Handguns

[DeltaM]

If you plan to keep it I would simply repeat what has been said about great quality and accuracy, then add beautiful asthetics, then comment on their poor customer care. 

If you one day plan to relieve yourself of it, I have seen that they have less resale value than other guns in its price range.

On a side note, they have a program for pilots of major airlines to purchase USP 40c at cost. 

Hummmm, wheels turning, brain-a-burning!  Lets see which good buddy (especially now) I might butter-up to.  There is one redhead lady that I like to talk to anyway.  What a great lead in.  She is an international 777 pilot.  Hummm, wheelsaturnin, brainsaburnin.

I guess S&W's shotguns are made in Turkey.

Strap on your foil lined armadillo hats and read this boys!  Theres plenty to read about RFID out there.  This picture is an HK, Sig uses them to, dont know about others.  As far as "Made in America", I didnt notice until I brought it home, but the Savage I just bought say's Made in Canada for Savage Arms in Mass, USA.

"China’s national ID cards, for instance, are encoded with what most people would consider a shocking amount of personal information, including health and reproductive history, employment status, religion, ethnicity and even the name and phone number of each cardholder’s landlord. More ominous still, the cards are part of a larger project to blanket Chinese cities with state-of-the-art surveillance technologies."

I'll bet your thinking.  People will never allow themselves to be "coded"!

"The Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved the use of RFID chips in humans.[73] Some business establishments have also started to chip customers, such as the Baja Beach nightclub in Barcelona."  

All you have to do to start the ball rolling is make it "trendy"!

Removed from a credit card.  "Whats in YOUR wallet?"


H&K, and Sig has used them to make guns for police departments that "only an officer can fire".  So in reverse...  A chip in your gun could be made to NOT fire within 30 feet of an officer, or other RF signal carrier.  Hmmm.

 I had heard that the primary use of the RFID chips currently used specifically in HK pistols was inventory control. As a former unit armorer I can see that this would greatly reduce work in the stock room or a PD's arms room, Scan a pallet or storage rack and you know exactly which weapons are present, but then so doesn't any one else with an RF scanner. This technology may be great for organizations but it is a security threat when forced on civilians.

Just another reason to avoid the plastic guns.  I'll stick with the old reliable ones and leave the rest....

If you are concerned about RFIDs in your guns, you are going to love the new US passports.

Don't have a passport and have no need for one.  They can do whatever they want with those!

I have a suggestion of exactly what they can do with them   
NH is one of the States that refused on Constitutional grounds to participate in the "National ID Card" program.

Some say H&K has great quality, some say they're very unreliable.  Just looking at this one picture I see mold marks all over, flash, and wavey surface finishes.  Signs of quality?



The case the gun's in actually shows better finish quality.   Check out that fine looking hinge.
