Well I knew that was coming. Never insult HK on the Internet, because someone will call you an idiot. At least the people here actually know what they are talking about. Price is a big concern for civilian shooters. We don't all have thousands of tax dollars to spend on cutting edge tech like stamped sheet metal subguns. Or spend a shitload of money on the Mk23 when Springfield Armory is making the XD for a hell of a lot cheaper. Yeah, I'm not a real operator. I don't need to swim through a swamp and rappel down a building gunning down bad guys as the world explodes around me. I'm just looking for the most bang for my buck. I have a certain level of accuracy and power I expect from my guns, but I don't really need more. I really can't stand it when someone who's never even shot a gun tells me that HK is the be all and end all. That may be, but I wouldn't buy a Ferrari to drive down to CVS, and I don't need to buy an uber tech gun for plinking or for ordinary civilian use. Not that HK is interested in offering their masterworks to us civilians. So yeah, I'm an idiot for not buying a heavy "offensive handgun" for 2 grand when my 500 dollar XD can do the job just as well. Also an idiot for not plunking down 1600 for the SL8. After all, it's not like I can buy an AR for half that.
