Thread: HK is it fair?

Started 3 months ago by Brutz
Hey all Im in the market for a new handgun and was taking a look at the HK line. Just out of curiosity do y'all think that the price on these things is fair when there are other lines for lots less? I mean good grief these things are pricey comparatively speaking. any and all comments and opinions welcome.

I'm halfway between those choices. And personally, I'd love to see the USP series dropped to about $500 now that the "sexy new" P30's and HK45's are out.

HK handguns are a little overpriced but they work and they work well. Sig's line of pistols are not much cheaper than HK's anymore and personally I think the quality of new Sig's has gone down while HK still seems to maintain a very high level of QC.

I'll agree that modern H&K's are better values than the Sigs. H&K's are not cheap, but they function more reliably than any other brand. Their .45's are the best non-1911 .45's out there.

HK's are like any premium line - part of the price IS the name - but it's still an HK if and when it comes time to sell it. I own and shoot everything from Ruger to HK - my top three carry guns are an HK, a S&W and a Taurus.

The beauty of free markets: If you think HK's prices are fair, you can buy one (and a lot of people have). If you don't think so, you can skip right over them at your local gun counter. There's also, of course, looking and waiting for the right deal to get in on a great product at a price that's at the low end of the range for that model. I would never pay full MSRP for an HK, but then I ...

I found my P7 to be fairly priced - even from GANDER MOUNTAIN.....OMG - did I just say FAIR and GANDER in the same sentence??!!....

HK. Because you suck. And we hate you. http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/20...d-we-hate-y ou/ BTW, HK still hates you.

I agree with the SIG remark. Jeeze talk about a deteriorating product. I own exactly ONE Hk (A P30 V3). I like it for what it is. But I will put it out there that folks who buy an Hk P30, P2000, Hk45 pay a lot of money and should have a quality pistol which they do. But those same folks should have a quality pistol that does not rattle or have a crappy trigger either which they do too....

About 25 years ago I sold cars at a VW, Audi and Porsche dealership. Of course people buying cars usually have lots of questions, but the one question NEVER asked by someone buying a Porsche was, "Is it worth it?" If you have to ask "Is it worth it?" then it probably isn't worth it... to you! Scott

I love my P7 and my P2000sk was awesome... i traded it in b/c I figured I just didn't need two 9mm pistols, but I'm regretting it now. What I could bear to read in that article was a bunch of crap. Mk23 costs a lot... yeah, it wasn't designed to be an affordable option. Their pistols cost twice as much as...

Quote: And I can only correlate an HK owner to the ****** bag BMW owner stigma Not a very subtle way of making your point. One could infer you are calling HK owners a *****bag. I like HKs and I like the quality HK produces to. I also don't like how much they cost and only buy them used.

I know of one HK that has stood the test of time and is still only around 600 bucks and you are getting a 1500 dollar pistol with that 600. The P7 PSP continues to be one of the very best values in the gun arena. I really dont have much of an opinion on the rest of the HK line past or present. I kind of like the USPs more than the HK45 or the P30. I still have not tried the P2000SK but want to dearly. All in all really though I think they are...
