Anyone here have one? Now before I go on I will admit that I'm a nut and very picky when it comes to my guns especially guns that are supposed to be new.
Anyways my question is if you do have one how's the finish on yours when you first got it out of the box? Now the reason I ask is because I had my ffl order one for me and it came right out if the box with a few blemishes and scratches around the muzzle and particularly on the edges of the slide towards the muzzle almost like holster wear, so I told them I would not buy a new gun that looked like that so they then ordered me another one and low and behold it came the same way that the first one came all scratched in the same areas I described above! I would expect that a 1200.00 gun especially coming from hk would not look like this right out the box?!

Wow...that is pretty shitty.  One of the best things about HK's is their finish...but if they did away with that in order for a weaker "pretty" one it would be a huge turn off for me as well.  If it was me, I would just get an all black one..or maybe just find one of the factory two toned ones with the standard black slide and a tan or green frame.

Yea originally my intention was to get a od green or tan framed one but then saw one of the lipsey ones in person and well it was love at first sight! I have my fingers crossed that I can find one that dosnt have the finish worn out right out the box.

The tan one I got looks perfect on the outside.  Nothing like what you described. Some places on the inside of the slide it looks like the coat is pretty thin but I don't have a problem with it.  

This one has about 400 rounds through it.

Beautiful pistol!

So no run marks on the front end edges of the slide? I guess my ffl got 2 lemons than! Just my luck!!!

Nope.  No run marks anywhere on the outside.  Only thing that bugs me is that given that it has a threaded barrel it should have come with higher sights.  But Sig does the same thing.  I don't get it...

I got mine from Bud's and didn't notice any imperfections.

No finish issues with mine.
