...listed for $2,499 on Cabelas’ web site....pretty expensive...I would think other, less expensive, handguns would do the job, too.... jus’ sayin’.....

Nice gun. I have a few H&Ks. A friend of mine’s daughter worked at H&K in Virginia long ago. She arraigned a tour of the Grey Room there. Its their collection of all the guns they have built. Another day they took us to range day. We got to fire a a bunch of their guns and eat barbeque. She got me into their Friends & Family program. I got to buy a SL8 for factory cost ($565).

For my money the FNX45 Tactical is a better weapon at half the price. Fully ambidextrous construction, slide is already machined for a red dot and comes with two mounting plates, customizable grip backstraps, threaded barrel, suppressor height sights, and 15+1 capacity 45 ACP standard (Mk 23 is 12rds standard). Can be carried cocked & locked, or decocted using the same lever. Double action trigger is a bit long, but single action has a short, tactile, and audible reset.I also like the grip texture better than the Mk 23.

"I had one grail gun. Searched for it for years. Saved up and finally bought it...The design actually turned out to be such a huge piece of crap that I gladly traded it away at a 25% loss to gain something useful."

Sounds like you bought one of the S&W PPKs, too :-)

On the upside, I got one of the Ft. Smith Walthers, and mine at least, lives up to the legend.

I remember buying one of those money guns from you many years ago. Don’t remember the model, but it was as $&W revolver. Yeah, it looked like money to me after a while too.

I think it was a long barreled Model 27 that you traded a French AL 48 in 28 gauge.

What is funny is the clerk had to put a Hk Mark 23 and a Hi Point “Yeet Cannon” on the same 4473. You know he was questioning life

I got mine recently. It’s a vintage Belgian made Browning Hi Power that I sold to a friend 25 years ago. Sadly he passed last year and he left it to me. I also got his Remington 11-87 Premier Skeet shotgun.

While I’d much rather still have my friend among the living, I regretted selling that gun to him the moment I did it. I tried to buy it back for years.

He’d just laugh and say “you can have it when I’m gone.” He was true to his word.

It’s all a moot point for me out here in CA.

My screen name is, very unfortunately, a wish for a shift in the legislated climate of this benighted state, not an extant reality.

I don’t believe that either of your fine procurements are on the roster of arms that may be legally transferred in CA.
