 SO I drank the Kool-Aid and dove in.

First off I want to say I had always been a Glock guy.
I wanted to get a .45(up until this point I always had 9mm or .40). I decided to break my pattern of Glock purchases and get a HK.

2 weeks ago I purchased a HK45C and I have to say HOLY SHIT this thing is awesome.
I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner.I have taken it to the range 3 times and it is one of the most comfortable handguns I have ever fired.

I look at my Glocks now with a little disdain.

Oddly enough, I went the other way a couple of weeks ago and picked up a G19 on a whim... my first Glock All my other handguns are HK weapons in calibers that start with .4 or better.

Kind of wish I'd have waited for a deal on a P30 in 9mm now. Knowing's half the battle I suppose.

Congrats on your purchase.

Welcome to teh dark side

I will agree, HK 45USPc is the most comfortable hand gun I own.

I've owned Glocks before also. My HK45C is my favorite pistol right now.

To me Glocks are just boring. When you see a glock you don't say "What variant is that or does it

have the LEM? Nope, its a plain ol glock just like every other one you've seen before.

Glocks are reliable guns but so are H&K, plus the H&K has style.

I recently bought an HK45C. Now I keep looking at my other guns with the thought of what can I sell to buy an HKp30?

Good pick. I will tell you it is a sickness and you will most likely collect them all. Best handguns I used to date.

I have an HK45C also and now wish all of my handguns had the LEM trigger.

Yeah HK does that to people. Some scream about them costing so much more $ till you use one, then you realize why.
Incredible firearms. Congrats.

Lock up your wallet. You've crossed the threshold to the HK pasture.

Welcome!

I know what you mean I am eyeing the USP 9 mm as I type this.

I have a USP 9mm SD and a USP Compact 9mm and love them both! You won't regret either size of the 9mm.

Try handling a P30... Then pick up a Glock... It'll make you look at your Glocks like they just pissed in your Cheerios. The first time I compared my P30 to my 19 I wanted to bitch slap Gaston. Glocks are good guns... But after drinking the HK cool-aid myself I see my 2 Glocks going to fund a KSG when I can get my hands on one.

Congrats on your 45c (I see a P30 in your future.)

I own a glock 22 and a glock 26. I picked up a P30 to feel at a local gun store and I immediately was upset afterwards. I can tell you that while I was like wow this is nice, it mainly just pissed me off as I was figuring out if it were worth it to liquidate my glocks and how much of a hit I would take on them in order to be able to pick up a P30. Still have my glocks (just haven't shot them much since) ... still making plans to take in a P30.

Sell the glocks get more HKs. I loved my glock a lot but hated transitioning to different triggers. Much simpler to have to have all pistols with the same triggers.

I refuse to carry my Glocks now since I've become accustomed to the V2 LEM trigger system on my HK's. I also like being able to "thumb" the hammer while holstering.
