Darn old gunshop guys, I called this afternoon to see if it was in, since I work halfway between the shop and my home, "Nope, it didn't come in."
So I drove home and there was a message, "Hey it DID come in after all! We're open 'till 7 tonight if you want to come pick it up."
And I had told then I'd like to get it in the black or camo cordura case, instead of the light gray cordura case. But the distributor (RSR Group) only had five of these guns left when we ordered it, so I'd told them I'd take one even if it came in a pink cordura case! ^L^
Well, as you can see below I didn't any kind of cordura case, and got a "nice" plastic box! -L- And when when the fellow at the gunshop checked on the order earlier this week, suddenly RSR had 68 of the darn guns!! I've asked him to call them and see if any of those come in the cordura case, if these are *really* discontinued, I'm thinking they might make a good "investment"!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha! =L=

Okay, Stoopid Noobie questions:
1) Does HK make a thread protector for the barrel? If so where would I buy it? Ask my gun pusher to order it?
2) How about extra magazines? Can you recommend a place to buy them or are they a factory order item from my gun local shop?
3) Even though I haven't shot one round through it, can the trigger action be improved greatly? I know of a gunsmith named Grayguns that works on HK pistols, do the Mark 23's respond well to such smithing? Any recommendations?
Thanks for looking! I can't wait to shoot it, in fact I'm suddenly not feeling very well, maybe I should call in sick tomorrow! *L* I wouldn't want to infect the whole company! ^L^ Bwah-ha-<cough>-<cough>!!
