Today I called up H&K to see if they had any Threaded Barrels in stock, unfortunately they didn’t. The individual I spoke with was Travis. Then I asked him "If all the HK45's for sale new now are made in the United States how come they are still coming shipped with Painted on Night Sights? From my understanding when they were being imported from the Oberndorf am Neckar Plant that Germany does not allow the use of Tritium, that is understandable, but if they are being made here they should be equipped with Tritium Night Sights." Travis Agreed. Then to my surprise he let me in on the info that H&K has a deal with Meprolight to make Night Sights for the HK45 and that will now be an option when purchasing new once the shipment gets in. Also HK45 owners can send there slides in to have them installed once they are available for purchase. They are being Imported from Israel and they should arrive any day. He could not give me a definite arrival date but he said check back every few days on the "Latest News" on HK USA and on H&K Web Shop
I am happy I called because I was just about to order a set of Heinie Straight Eights but I truly don’t want them. I also emailed XS sights to see there standings on offering a set for the HK45... Have not received a response yet.. Anyways, I will just go with the H&K Meprolight’s :) |
