If this is a dupe, my apologies. I tried searching.
It seems that HK is now in financial troubles from dwindling government contracts. It seems that when the militaries of the world slow down purchases, that the civilian market is where the money is at. Hooda thunk?

In most countries HK refused to sell even neutered versions of their iconic guns. The "Because you suck, and we hate you" meme that has been floating around for years and assigned to HK may be more truthful than HK is willing to admit. (click here for reference)
In recent years HK has been bringing more modern products to the civilian market with the VP9 series. But for the most part, it think it is far too little too late. IMHO...if HK had embraced the civilian market back in the 70's, 80's or even the 90's, they would not be in this situation.
First German Sig (Sig America seems to be strong), and now HK. Will Germany have any major world playing firearms manufacturing left?
