Overall, I have shot a couple of H&K's and found them to be good pistols, but overpriced for what you get out them. I mean how many Glock/M&P mags can you get for one H&K mag? It's like a 3-4 to 1 ratio! H&K makes a good pistol, but with the price of a Glock there is still money left over for spare mags and yummy steak dinners!

For some reason, those French and Italians don't concern me as much. And for whatever reason I'm not worried about the Austrians - must be because while I do speak German I don't know a word of Austrian.<br /><br />According the the tag in the K31 it was issued to a Francophone, so maybe that has something to do with it, too.Steve Skubinnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-9520538417491918952010-10-21T17:02:57.023-04:002010-10-21T17:02:57.023-04:00Heck, Ruger doesn't even have a warranty... :o...Heck, Ruger doesn't even <i>have</i> a warranty... :oTamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-49057170636927170092010-10-21T16:48:28.611-04:002010-10-21T16:48:28.611-04:00Just curious: I remember hearing somewhere that if...Just curious: I remember hearing somewhere that if you completely dissemble your HK pistol it voids the warranty.
