Heckler & Koch and "mall ninjas"

[bmbutch]

I love my HKs! The ergo (for me) of the P30 & HK45C is a perfect fit. Are the just shy of twice the ergo of my M&Ps, no. What about previously owned Glock & XDM, worth 2x the cost or more for me.

I think a lot depends on you & your likes/preferences. Example: I love their triggers.

In fairness, my PPQ 9mm is quickly moving to top of list! Ruger 1911 is a close 2nd.

That is a ton of money for a poly handgun. A ton of money for mags as well.

I got to shoot a p30L and was underwhelmed. For a similar price I'll take my SP-01 Shadow.

I can't be.....I just can't be the only guy laughing out loud about a thread that started by explaining what a mall ninja is, then devolved into an arguments about whether HKs are the bestest firearms ever made in the history of the world.

...no one else sees the irony?

I am all about the funny.

After reading OP & first response, it was this threads destiny!

I considered H&K for my duty weapon, but ended up with a Sig P220.

It's hard to go wrong with the P220. My first carry pistol was a German imported police trade in P220. When I first bought it, I thought of it as something to tide me over until I could reach the top tier handgun realm of HK ownership. But once I actually saved enough cash to buy an HK, I ended up deciding to keep carrying the 220 and using the HK for days when I just want to have fun at the range. Don't get me wrong, HK makes good quality products, but so did/does Sig (P220, 225/P6, 226, 228, 229, and 2340 to name a few), Glock, and Springfield among others.

Heckler & Koch is the drop dead gorgeous 22 year old woman, mall ninjas are the enthralled 13 year old you cannot have her but are beside themselves with her.

You eventually get them when your older. Like the woman it costs more when its older but its about the personal satisfaction of getting your adolescent West German obsession. Victory. I say this as I stare at my mint HK94 and thinking about all the bad NFA things I want to do to it.

I've often wondered why people go out of their way to put a big "L" on their forehead on Internet forums. You'll have to decide why you want to do that to yourself.....

I love how mall ninjas always out themselves.

well this is interesting, wait for more HK cultist to show up and well see what they have to say. as for my experience with HK (it aint much) Ive shot a hk91(that's the the g3 right?) and to be honest was not all that impressed with it. it seems like it would very reliable though as hard as it ejects.

 

[GustavHalbach]

What research? Post a link to something explaining the vast HK superiority that wasn’t written by HK, a fanboy, or a gun magazine that never has something bad to say about anything. I would love to read it.

If by "top self," you mean the best, then no. If that is not what you meant, then yes they are sitting on that top shelf with other designs/manufacturers that are just as good, cost half the $$, have better customer service, better parts/accessories availability, and in some cases, better fill the intended role.

HK is the new Colt. People buy into the legend. Just like there were guys who wouldn't buy an AR15 or a 1911 that wasn't a Colt because blah blah blah, now we have people talking the same way about HK.

O.k, your right. Guess I'll have to dump my HK's now. Just hope I can even give them away. Will you take them for me? Please? Guess I should have bought Hi-points' instead....live and learn. Where would I be without people like you to help.

NO, you are not the only one. Thread is not as amusing at the mall Ninja story but still VERY entertaining.

....so using a thigh rig makes you a mall ninja?

 

[223 Gunner]

I have owned (HK93) Fired an (HK91) and currently own an HK45, they are all fine weapons, are there better ones out there? I sold my '93 because I felt AR's were more accurate and had better parts availability.

Never owned a '91.
I do own a Sig P-220, which I would have too say is as good as, if not better than the HK45
With HK's we do to some extent pay for the name.

Will I someday sell the HK45? Who knows, for now I do enjoy shooting it. For me it is a range toy, way too large for me as a carry weapon.

You guys and your over priced name brands. My tactical survivalist squad only uses Talon T200's for our CQ work.

 

[SmokinSigs357]

I don't know what the argument is. The "ORIGINAL" Mall Ninja was all over Glock's testicles.
The H&K mentioned was a rifle.

I see what all the Glock Fanboyz are doing here...nice move. I'm not fooled.

You forgot your purple.

Hey pal, guys like Gecko45 and specops lay their lives on the line at the mall EVERYDAY so we can have the freedom to get on here and argue about silly ****! Show some respect!
