Before I ever was on an HK kick, I have to admit I was on a quest to own a Sig in either P220 or a P226. One thing I noticed was people always mentioned German vs U.S. made Sigs, with the German made guns being better. So that got me to wondering if people here have a preference or notice better QC with one over the other. Maybe a dumb question, just trying to better familiarize myself with my new favorite firearm and was curious.

german vs us - Google Search

 

[jmvdigital]

Your search-fu is broken. General consensus is there is no quality or discernible difference between German and US made HKs.

 

[Mattducati]

I have both and they are exactly the same except the slide markings.

 

[TooSixy-closed]

the german HK are more better. maybe because of the Originality and the maintenance of the trend

Really?

^^ What?

I have both as well. No discernible difference in my opinion.

I feel if HK is selling it then it's meets their German requirements. No matter where it's assembled.

You're talkin like your lips don't fit.

 

[FamilyMan]

LoL

 

[btoeps74]

Well its good to know they are all good whichever origin they come from. Like I said, was pretty set on getting a sig but kinda got turned off them with all the bad things I've read. Not saying they make a bad gun, just seem to have found more bad press than good while researching.

Mattducatti: I gotta say your avatar picture is pretty bad a**!! What were you shooting in that pic?

 

[Mattducati]

Thanks. That avatar is not me shooting. It was a cool photo I found.
I wish I knew what was being shot in that picture.

 

[bordercop]

For now, equal. Going forward, it will depend on how much control over HK, Inc. is maintained by HK, GMBH.

I have no comment about SIG but when asked about what I think about the German HK Company and how they build and test their firearms, I ask people to view this German HK video, it's in German but you can not miss their message.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Plus 1 here...i worked with alot of German Engineer's. They are serious people. One had a German 226 i took my two gauling Exeter 226's to work and they about passed about seeing all the issue's. Got my money back and HK is my only way except one!! Maybe the post Cohen era will get Sig. back but not me...

 

[bad.sergeant]

Shoot me if you want, Germen have better work ethic MAYBE. They also take breaks more frequently, keeps them more focused. I was working at German plant rebuild Cummins engine in 2004.

Exactly...give me a box of German HK parts and I'LL build one as good as those coming out of the German factory.

If it is a model that is also made in Germany, I'll take the German one as a preference.
