You mean people still buy non-H&K handguns?

The world is full of amateurs.....besides if everyone purchased HK's there'd be 150,000 M1911 gunsmiths out of business.

TS,
Hate to hijack a thread, but have you had a chance to evaluate the HK45 full-size or compact version? I'm currently in the market for the best-priced HK45c I can find, and I'm almost certain that I can expect greatness from any HK, but I remember reading a thread where you didn't seem too fond of the P2000...

Ahhhh, excellent. Just in time for the wife to start pulling down the PA salary. Gotta spend my allowance.

Should have gone with my first inclination and asked this in a more relevant, existing thread. I sincerely beg your pardon.

Where you posted it is irrelevant. Have you used the search button with my screen name and HK .45, HK Compact ?????

Simple economics lead the rebate parade.....
HK demand remains high, no rebates.
S&W demand remains flat or less stellar, hence offers of rebates.
Other companies try to boost sales with rebates....it's the old : larger sales volume with smaller profits wins over small volume with higher profits.
I have an HK45.......I enjoy it, really enjoy it. Just hope it never needs factory work since they are always busy with military and civilians take a very back seat to completing service orders.

I have... I got the old thread from before the HK45 came out, where there was a mag clipping posted of L. Vickers with the tan version and original P2000-style grip.... You said it was UGLY...
That was all I got the first time I tried the search combination you mentioned. One night I read every post/thread that included your sn and USP, HK45, .45, 230, P2000, and 1911.
I didn't try it with "compact" before (HK is too short), but did just now and only got posts mentioning your USPc. Pretty much every HK reference I've seen by you has been about the USP series, with a few exceptions, -- unless I overlooked something, which is very possible.
Regardless, I went out on a limb posting the question here after seeing mention of HK, knowing it wasn't the best place for it. Guess I figured no one would be interested in a S&W anyway, at least not on purpose.  Then again, the scandium J-frame I handled at a CID conference last year was tempting. Small, very light, but maybe too light.

LOL! I'm realizing more and more that no gun shop in this state is above a painful markup for any product or service ... I found a place online called Top Notch Tactical where, if they are what they say they are, I can still get away with the pistol and $50-65 transfer fee here for at least $100 less than the $1125+ everyone in MD wants.
