Well said. OP, I know this is an Sig forum, and I do own a few Sigs. However, I find HKs to be the finest of pistols. I like my VP9 the best of all my striker fired pistols. They are all similar though. It is there hammer fired guns that I truly love. I can’t wait to finally get the USP 45. They are my favorites. I even like it more than the Beretta 92, which is a great hammer fired steel weapon.
The Beretta 92 is not a steel weapon….at least not the standard guns.

Yep
Even though I don’t like optics, I do like the deals on non-optic ready models. I’m glad I still remember how to use irons

Yes, steel and alloy is more correct. My inference was more based on it not being run of the mill polymer.

94hokieThis thread prompted me to root through the safe to see the various H&K's I have. Turns out I guess I have a habit. I've got 2 P2000sk's (one DA/SA, one LEM), two P30sk's (one DA/SA, one LEM), two P30's (one DA/SA, one LEM), a P2000, a USPc45, a USPc9 and two P7 PSP's. The LEM P30sk is my usual carry, that's a very under-rated gun in my opinion.

Points - points baby - free to me
Took it to the range yesterday----only had time for a box of 50.
Sweet shooter - but the 1st DA trigger pull----Sheesh.
Is an LEM kit the best/only fix?

WRAM1I fell down that same hole and am still here with no real intention of leaving.

tsigI've fallen in the HK hole years back and somehow climbed out it it. Late last year I got really bad HK itch that require a scratch. I couldn't stop scratching the itch so here they are. MK 23, USP 45 tactical, USP 40, HK 45C, (2)-VP9. I need help and maybe see a specialist.

bcjwriterSo, after shooting all 4...heres some impressions...
P2000 - my pick for a compact 9mm...
P2000SK, great CCW, carry it opten, especially for appendix
VP9A1-F. Amazing gun with the optic, shoots like a dream and im using it right now for competition. Amazing trigger and ergos...
VP9K - it's ok, and has all the high quality that you expect from HK. But I prefer the P2000 (I know I'm sick that way...). Also, there are so many other good pistols in this category, it has a lot of competition to fight...)
