Hi folks,
Yes, this is yet another thread about buying my first HK. ^L^
On a side note, what is pushing me over the edge are comments by Bruce Gray, of Grayguns Inc., about how the HK pistols are the only ones still made the good old fashioned way. -L-
Bruce built me a SIG Sauer P220 custom in 10mm, which is a beautiful gun, but it seems that some MBA that helped ruin Kimber is now in charge at SIG, and their innovations are falling to "rainbow anodizing" and "diamond plate" slides. ºLº
Here are pictures of my SIG P220-10mm, for what it is worth:
So, back to "the question"! ^L^ I think I want a Mark 23 (M723001-A5). I am crazy about accuracy, and at 6'2" and 240 lbs, with hands that have long fingers, I'm not worried about the size of the gun, just how well is shoots. I also like the regular HK 45 guns. I don't seem to like the USP weapons, they seem oddly rounded to me. (Weird, I know!)
I am attracted to the P30 series, but I like the .45 ACP cartridge a lot. I mean, I do have .40 S&W and 9mm Parabellum weapons, but the .45 seems to just "push" instead of "snap" like some of the smaller cartridges.
So, do I just get a Mark 23? Should I look at the smaller HK 45 more? If I were to get a P30, which one would you recommend? I am finding some of the V3 talk a bit confusing! (But then, I am easy to confuse! *L* ) How many variants of the P30 are there?
Thanks in advance for your help! ^L^
