Fellow Shooters,
I've been kinda lusting after a HK USP Stainless model that my dealer has in his case. It comes with one LEO/Military 12rd Magazine. It is a previously owned pistol but it doesn't have much use if any. The dealer is advertising it as a "used but unfired" weapon. Checking the weapon over doesn't show any obvious wear marks on the barrel hood or magazine lips, so I pretty much believe him to an extent. I'm sure it's seen use, but very limited. It seems to be an older weapon that was stored for some time. There is a slight rust spot on the barrel crown. A bit of steel wool and spot blue should clean it up nicely.
He wants 600 for it, he did want 700 but he had no takers. I suspect it has something to do with him not wanting to sell the weapon sans LEO magazine. I'm going to give it a month and if he still has it, offer him $550.
Is this a good deal?.The local dealers are crazy wanting upwards of 750-800 plus for USP's. I have no idea what the "normal" market would bear.
Also...I would like some input from owners of the HK full size pistols.
Thanks ..
