Really cool! Congrats and I’m jealous! 👍🏻👍🏻

 

Those are cool

Congrats on a great pistol

 

that's 1 nice looking pistol, what do they sell for?

 

 

I been looking to pick one of those up myself.Congrats on your purchase.

 

Nice. I'd love to see a picture of the internals - do you know how they changed the safety direction? The exploded view in the manual makes it look like a slightly different safety lever, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

 

I would really like one of these. Would you kindly pm me so i can get an idea of where or who can help me do it?
Thx

 

There's a couple on GunBroker now.

 

The backwards safety would be a no go for me.

 

That is a cool pistol. Congrats! I almost bought one online but, I figured that the "backwards" safety would be an issue for me because, of my experience with the USP.

Congrats on the hk.

 

Very well done ... Congratulations

 

Slick looking pistol!

 

I wonder if mod parts are interchangable with the USP? LEM trigger, jet funnel mag well…..
Looks great! Congrats!

 

The “backwards “ safety was never a problem on countless S&W 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Pistols, with requisite training.

 

Little difference.
S&W, Beretta used a SLIDE mounted decocker/safety.
This one is mounted ala 1911.
Those of us (old guys/Boomers) that shot 1911s, Hi Powers, CZs a LOT will not easily transition to this and frankly won't (at least I) want to!

 

I’d snap one up for the “cool” factor. But that wonky safety would relegate it to a range toy.

Oh, and of course, nice catch!

 

Thanks to spending several days shooting with the German army, I have fired the P8 and G36 more than any other H&Ks. The P8s were very reliably guns. The trigger wasn't as good as the Beretta, but the frame mounted safety was a lot better.

 

That's a nice pistol, congrats.

A1 is the reinforced version of the P8. The early P8s showed some durability problems, similar story like the M9 in US service.

The Bundeswehr ordered backwards safety, because it's the same as the Walther P1s safety, used by the Bundeswehr before the HK P8.

Some parts may be interchargeable with the USP, but some not. Safety, barrel, hammer and mag release are different. Springs and guide rod are also different.

I don't think that a USP slide will be interchargeable with a P8 grip and vice versa.

 

Congrats! Very nice!

Like others, the reverse of the safety direction throws me a little bit. It seems counter-intuitive to have the safety flip in that direction. Germans don't do things like that without thought, so I am sure they felt they had a very good reason for reversing the direction. I am curious if anyone knows what that reason is.

Regardless, cool gun! Congrats!

 

I wonder too.
Can’t really ride the safety with your thumb like a 1911 or a standard USP…

 

Nice HK! I’ll take you one of them fancy translucent mags for a mag that has LEO only restricted print on the side. 😉

 

Great gun! I bought one in June 2023 simply for my collection, they are not easy to find and in 10-15+ years will sell well “easily getting back $400+ what you paid) I found mine at a shop and the owner sold it to me for 650 with an HK M223A-1 rifle that just came in (2950) I was really lucky and wasn’t looking to buy anything. Just simply at the range my wife and I shoot at every Sunday 🙏. I’ve been lucky with my HK firearms I started collecting in 1986 and bought 2 HK sp 89 9 mm and another 45 mm for 700 ea also from the same store (not range shop ) bought hk-91 x 2 and a 93 and a mark 23 this was just part of what I bought in a 2-3 year period. Now 300+ large collection and these hk older pre -68 people have offered me crazy amounts for them. These hold there value it’s crazy 😜. I carry a few USP both 45 and 40 which all shoot dead on Hold onto any hk you get especially ones that are pre ban or /and imported. Because many people get these newer hk and don’t relize they are built in hk’s USA factory

 

Sorry but I was reminded of the P7.
