yes, that is a great deal.
HK's are like glocks, if you see them used and want one, go for it.
I am used to an arched housing, so no problems for me.
New around here they go for around $650-$695 when they are around.
Hell, I picked up my usp45 used for that reason.
Only problem I ever had was in my compact 45, the firing pin broke. I do a good bit of dry fire practice, but the thing is, the damn thing worked with a broken firing pin.
supposedly it was a bad batch of pins done, bad heat treat or something...not an issue anymore.
you can look at the date code on the slide and tell how old it it...AA is (20)00, KK is 99, KI is 98 (J is skipped, I believe)KH is 97, KG 96 and KF is 95 and on down. they started making them in 95.
sounds like a deal, I'd grab it.
you could always upgrade to a tactical later if you want...great weapon, just more than I need right now.
cheers,
Derek
PS-
that's a sweet looking tac up there, and I like that USC too. How's the USC shoot?
