THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I wanted to get a .45(up until this point I always had 9mm or .40). I decided to break my pattern of Glock purchases and get a HK. 2 weeks ago I purchased a HK45C and I have to say HOLY SHIT this thing is awesome. I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner.I have taken it to the range 3 times and it is one of the most comfortable handguns I have ever fired. I look at my Glocks now with a little disdain. |

Oddly enough, I went the other way a couple of weeks ago and picked up a G19 on a whim... my first Glock All my other handguns are HK weapons in calibers that start with .4 or better.
Kind of wish I'd have waited for a deal on a P30 in 9mm now. Knowing's half the battle I suppose. Congrats on your purchase. |

Welcome to teh dark side
I will agree, HK 45USPc is the most comfortable hand gun I own. |

I've owned Glocks before also. My HK45C is my favorite pistol right now.
To me Glocks are just boring. When you see a glock you don't say "What variant is that or does it have the LEM? Nope, its a plain ol glock just like every other one you've seen before. Glocks are reliable guns but so are H&K, plus the H&K has style.  |

I recently bought an HK45C. Now I keep looking at my other guns with the thought of what can I sell to buy an HKp30?

Good pick. I will tell you it is a sickness and you will most likely collect them all. Best handguns I used to date.

I have an HK45C also and now wish all of my handguns had the LEM trigger.

Yeah HK does that to people. Some scream about them costing so much more $ till you use one, then you realize why.
Incredible firearms. Congrats. |

Lock up your wallet. You've crossed the threshold to the HK pasture.

I have a USP 9mm SD and a USP Compact 9mm and love them both! You won't regret either size of the 9mm.

Try handling a P30... Then pick up a Glock... It'll make you look at your Glocks like they just pissed in your Cheerios. The first time I compared my P30 to my 19 I wanted to bitch slap Gaston. Glocks are good guns... But after drinking the HK cool-aid myself I see my 2 Glocks going to fund a KSG when I can get my hands on one.
Congrats on your 45c (I see a P30 in your future.)  |

I own a glock 22 and a glock 26. I picked up a P30 to feel at a local gun store and I immediately was upset afterwards. I can tell you that while I was like wow this is nice, it mainly just pissed me off as I was figuring out if it were worth it to liquidate my glocks and how much of a hit I would take on them in order to be able to pick up a P30. Still have my glocks (just haven't shot them much since) ... still making plans to take in a P30. |

Much simpler to have to have all pistols with the same triggers. |

I also like being able to "thumb" the hammer while holstering. |
