Both good guns. H&K has a smaller circumference grip, the Glock grip is fatter. I like Glocks, but the factory magazine release is atrocious. The HK magazine release is great, even if quite different from normal. HK LEM trigger is different, but with practice is THE best short of a 1911 single action type trigger. For the money, go for a Glock. Otherwise, use the pilot discount and get HK, you won't regret it.

I think the HK is a better quality weapon, but its hard to beat a Glock when it comes to ease of concealed carry and sheer reliability.

Glocks don't naturally "point" like a 1911 or Sig IMO...so that takes a little getting used to but once you figure the grip out they're quite accurate.

I agree on the trigger. Takes some work if you have used the 1911 a great deal.

You can get the same deal at Sportsman's Warehouse on Winchester/Hacks Cross if you are in Memphis. One of our pilot's son's works in the gun dept. I got the same deal on a Springfield XD.

FYI...

MARCH 2009: Sportsman’s Warehouse is closing 23 stores, including its two Memphis-area locations, according to a company release.

The Midvale, Utah-based company is closing its Memphis location at 7951 Winchester Road and its Southaven, Miss., location at 130 Marathon Way.

In his defense, he posted that in Aug '08, before they announced.

Wish they hadn't closed. They were the only real source of reloading supplies in the area.

Is the hk still available?
Web site said it was over 8-09

Pilot7576 09-11-2009 05:19 AM

hk deal
 
Last time I checked, I think the offer is good thru at least 10/30/09...but the price is $545 now instead of the $495...

Just got mine. Didn't even use a credit card. I sent them a letter along with all the required info on there form along with a copy of my ID badge and Georgia concelled permit and a check. Took about two months to receive the weapon and HK didn't not cash my check untill transfer was complete from my gun store. Nice looking weapon, have yet to take it out of the box.
