So first and foremost I'm excited beyond belief.

I found a NIB HK Mark 23 Date Code Indicated 2010 Manufacture can anyone give me a reason why I should not purchase this fine piece of engineering?

Should I be looking for a used older one with low round count etc. etc.?

The store was kind enough to let me take a photo.

How much?

 

[MB38]

How much? That's the deciding factor!

The important question is, does it fit your hand? Then go from there.

Ummm, $1839 shipped from Cross Creek Guns - a sponser here at HKPro.com

You may have to wait for him to order it, but that's a lot of ammo you could buy. Great choice either way.

 

[TunnelRat]

That seems high.

Armed with a little pricing knowledge, you may be able to negotiate a hundy or two off of his price.

I d prefer to support my local business even if they are on the higher end of the spectrum.

maybe they will be interested in doing a bit of a price match...

I have had one since february, truly awesome.

The gun is a must-own for every HK enthusiast. The price, however, is a bit steep. I paid $1980 for mine (BA date code) & that was out the door.

I mean if you truly want it which I'm sure you do then I say go for it since it is already there in front of you and you've held it in your hands. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to make a post on here in the WTB section to see if someone has a used one but if you are set on a new one then I say go for it even if the price is a bit high. The older ones do have the maritime finish which most opt for and it comes in the camo case which seems to be selling for $300 alone.

Remember its just money, its renewable. Plus the firearm is an investment!

It's like childbirth. You scream and shriek while paying the money, but after you shoot it, caress it, care for it, buy it accessories and shoot it some more, you forget all that pain stuff. Congrats! It's truly a miracle of design and execution.

 

[DaZe831]

Congrats bud. Someday i would like to own one as well. Lucky dog you, enjoy!

 

[Dolfin]

congrats! it's the holy grail of guns. I waited like 5 years to buy mine. You'll love it.

$250 too high

While it may be too high, this shop is letting him make payments. Sure you can get lower prices cash in hand.

 

[timeregained]

Really though, congratulations. In my opinion you will have THE finest .45 caliber pistol ever made. More reliable than any 1911. Highly tested. Rugged. It's a dream gun. Do not worry about the price because you are making payments and it's what you could do at the time. Know that in some states that barrel is illegal and so is that gun so you are lucky and you don't have to pay SSE etc. You will own a special operators gun. .45s get shot out that monster so clean and accurate and you can feed it +P all day without thinking twice. That gun can handle wartime battle. Literally. So congratulations.

 

[warpd]

Awesome man, I'm still in the saving pennies plan until I will be able to order mine.

 

[leoman57]

Very nice choice and you get a payment plan to boot, and live where it can be enjoyed. wowza

Neither here nor there, but I didn't read anywhere where the OP was buying this on a payment plan.
