An HK 45 for $500 is a very good deal. I have one and it's a great .45. I'd definitely jump on it if I were you. HKs are excellent firearms.

Indeed that would be a nice deal, Wasabi, but are we definitely talking about the HK45?

Could just be an old, beat up USP 45...


Here's one in nice condition with 5 mags for $600 or less.

I am thinking if it is a HK .45 it is a very good deal and even if it is a USP that would not be bad at least around here.

Yeah, you're right bac. He could be talking about a USP. If so, that's still a good deal depending on the condition.

I must be a dinosaur ! The usp has been out about what 25 years? Any pistol built after World War Two that still functions can not possibly qualify as old!

USPs on the gun forums I look at in MI go for at least 650. You never see one for under 600

What the hell's wrong with old beat up pistols. :dunno:

Generally speaking, 500 for a HK pistol isn't bad; if it's that price and a .45, it's probably a USP 45 or 45C.

Condition of the pistol, however, is important. There are plenty of HK's available; too many to get one unless it's in great shape. If I'm going to be spending five hundred dollars, then I'm going to spend it on a decent firearm. It's it's just the price, I'll pay more and get something better. There are plenty of decent firearms to be had for five hundred or less, if you look, especially in the used market.

HK firearms tend to be consistent and well made, and there's a lot of snob appeal associated with the brand. They're in trouble financially, have poor double action triggers, aren't particularly supportive of their civilian customers, and are very proud of their products and parts, fiscally speaking. They've proven to be favored firearms for many police and military applications, including special operations roles, for a long time, around the world. That say says a lot. I feel well armed with HK firearms; no doubt you will too.
