Congrats.
As far as the HK price deterring people, I think it's more like alot of people see HK's as being overpriced... kinda like "If I can buy a 400$ Glock that will run as good as a HK then why would I buy a HK". I don't think it's that people don't have the money because almost every Glock guy I see in the Gun Shops and at the range own 1911's, Kimbers, Para, Springfields and these 1911's cost more than HK's. HK gets it due respect but I've heard from many people that they think they are overpriced and or overrated.
