i really had no intention of ever buying an hk45...i mean, its just a worked over USP (of which i already own a half dozen), right?
...then i made the mistake of asking to hold one at the new sportsmans warehouse that just opened up in billings. although i wanted a p30 i have for the most part stopped buying service size weapons since they are so dang difficult to conceal. but it was sitting there on the shelf....just looking at me.
...so i asked to hold it and as soon as it hit my hand i knew i was done for. i left it using the justification that since i was on my harley i didnt have a way to get it home (no saddle bags yet). i had hoped this was just an impulse but i couldnt get the way it felt in my hand out of my mind. i went back today (on the harley again, for "safety") just to "look at it" and see if i really wanted to waste $1000 on a gun to big to carry.
well...the second it hit my hand once again i told him to get the box and start the paperwork. i reasoned with myself that winter is here so concealing it wont be as hard. i have to get it converted over to variant 3 (decock only, no safety), but thats simple enough.
now for the meat of it. although the hk p7 is my "magic gun", i have never held a weapon that felt any better in my hand including (and please forgive me for saying this) the 1911 or BHP. there, i said it and ill have to live with it. the silly looking spider-man grips shown in the picture just melt into my hand for a perfect fit. if this weapon shoots as good as it feels in my hand then it will be worth every penny. expect a range report very soon.
