It's the polymer. SIGs cost every bit as much as HKs, but since modern HKs have polymer frames, they are "Tupperware".....no regard to reliability, durability etc.Also, I know this has been beaten to death, but on EVERY review, EVERY forum (except this one), people complain about HK price. Meanwhile, these same people have Sigs, Kimbers, etc that are all around the same price range and have no problem with the price there. Then there are those who put hundreds if not thousands into upgrades and re-builds who complain about HK price point. I don't understand.
Is it because a lot of these people think they aren't getting their money's worth because the gun has a polymer frame? I saw a comment in the article by "Go Navy!", who didn't bash HK prices, but bought a Kimber which I imagine is more expensive than your standard USP. I don't know Kimber prices, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
True but you get you pay for and yes the statement has been said here before and on other bulletin boards... magazines are more expensive and I can buy two Blocks for the price of one HK and still have some $$$ left in my pocket, but remember your purchasing one hellava quality combat firearm(s). Just remember this what you purchase you put your life into that purchase and ask yourself this one question "DON'T YOU DESERVE THE BEST".Also, I know this has been beaten to death, but on EVERY review, EVERY forum (except this one), people complain about HK price.

LOL, his point being?? For concealed carry I'll take a Glock or HK over any other semi auto handgun.the lovely gentleman working there simply said: " Why do you want HK? They're glorified Glocks."
My response would reflexively be,"....so one could say a Glock is a degraded HK?..."Hah. I just remembered a few months ago I was browsing the cases at a gun shop and asked to look at the HK's and the lovely gentleman working there simply said: " Why do you want HK? They're glorified Glocks."
I second that motionI'll get shallow for a second:
I think Glocks are ridiculously ugly, and I'd gladly pay more for a USP.
Good reply, but the original statement is inaccurate. There are some fundamental differences between them, such as the Glock's striker firing mechanism.My response would reflexively be,"....so one could say a Glock is a degraded HK?..."
