Nope. I won’t do it. I’m standing there looking at an HK45 and even though I was stabbed in the face yesterday and thought about how quickly your life can be ended by some dumba$$ hillbilly with a rusty Mauser, I was sane enough to realize that I’m not going to spend that much money on a handgun right now.
Nope.
No way.
Not going to do it.
Wouldn’t be prudent.
Nope.
But somehow the idea of spending 900 bucks on TWO handguns seemed perfectly reasonable.
I need to lie down.
One concern…the extractor on the .45 version appears to be a bit off…I figure it’s a cosmetic thing and since it’s already pretty ugly I’m not too worried about it. If it’s a function issue I want to get it fixed.
For 450 bucks I wasn’t going to complain too loudly.
That’s just it…I wouldn’t mind spending the money if I had an abundant supply of it. I want one so bad I can taste it. I think they are going to prove to be fantastic weapons. …I just don’t usually have H&K money to put into a handgun.
But for some reason I end up spending the same amount on a couple of other guns and don’t blink…
I mean, there I am minding my own business and this idiot stabs me in the face and is being a dumbass about it…and there’s a Desert Eagle right there which would make for a pistol whipping of BIBLICAL proportions…
Instead of committing an act that could be proved criminal in court, I decided instead to use the secret black magic powers of my Blackwater T-shirt to conjure a curse dooming him to a lifetime of vehicle rust and beechnut stains on every article of clothing he owns.
The guy that stabbed you… he didn’t happen to have a really long tongue, did he? And an AR with a titanium firing pin?
I have dry-fired my M&P45 at least 1500 times by now - I’m not sure if it will need a trigger job. It’s that much better now than it was when I bought it.
The HK pistol looks very nice, but not $450 nicer than the S&W.
The trigger is pretty heinous on both of them right now…but the same was true of my full sized 9 when I got it. It improved with some trigger pulls and some rounds downrange.
I need to get the sights worked out. I’m most likely going to send both of them to Burwell for trigger work and to have night sights installed. I installed the night sights on my full sized 9mm and as you know from the low light class that didn’t work out so good. I don’t know if the sight was just defective or if me beating it to death while cursing profusely made it give up the ghost, but I’m not taking any more chances.
Sending one gun back to Trijicon so they can deal with it is enough of a pain to worry about.
I don’t care for the humungous white dots on the rear. I am going to wait until Heinie makes Straight 8’s for it. I used to think just the night sight on the front and a plain black rear was the way to go, but I am now thinking the Straight 8 setup might be right for me.
As for the extractor, you may have gotten one of the first series of 45’s when they were in a ruch to get to market and sent them out with poor finishes. It’s all cosmetic and S&W will re finish for you at no cost if you want them to.
