MVDemarco,
It sounds like you are going to buy this gun based on how many replies in favor of one of the guns gets, that could be your worst mistake yet.
Go hold them both and if you can shoot them, I will admit that I love Glocks and really cant stand HKs but I am not going to just say "get the Glock" even though my experience with them is unblemmished. Some dont like the feel of the Glocks and some feel the same way about the HKs, me being one of them, the only way for you to get the best gun for you is to actually hold them side by side.
Have you thought about getting a G23? Next step down from the 22 in size, conceals well and high cap mags are everywhere. That is a big plus fr most who buy Glocks.
Both are equal in their durability, both are very reliable, they are equal in quality as far as I am concerned, so why wouldnt I buy an HK based on that? Because it does not agree with my hand, simple as that. Taking people words on a gun seeing how they will most likely never shoot it is not a smart way to make a purchase.
I can tell you this, the simple design of the Glock makes it a beauty. You can field strip the gun, clean it and have it back together in 5 minutes, this is a characteristic that I love about the Glocks.
The simplicity of the Glock is what seperates it from the pack though, another thing about HKs that I dont care for is all the sharp edges on their slides, just not for me, plus the fact that they feel like crap in my hand.
Both of these guns are equal in most areas where some areas one is a little better than the other, you are going to pay alot more for the HK and you get the same quality as a Glock. Thats something to keep in mind.
I am not telling you which to buy but rather to not base your decition on this thread. How does anyone here know what is better for you?
