Like new is like new; steel doesn't age (enough to matter in this context). And my guns were made in the early 90's. I hope you don't think guns from the 90's are too "old." But you are correct: anything made by HK has a premium price tag, but I happen to think these specific guns are a bargain.
Can you explain to me why you sold a P7M8 for 1200 so you could buy two P7s for 600 each?
LOL, because I now have two guns instead of one? Makes sense to me.
The P7m8 has an american style mag release button AND a heat shield so you don’t have to worry about the overheating. I don’t understand your logic whatsoever.
The heel release on the P7 is very easy to use. You push it in and the mag ejects. It's not like some heel releases where you have to push it towards the rear and hold it while you insert the mag. And as far as the heat shield on the M8, it was marginally effective, at best. I have found very little difference in how fast each model heats up to the point of being uncomfortable.
2 guns instead of one...
You are a little like my ole gramps. NOt completely because he would never have coughed up 600 for one pistol. He would’ve gone for 20 guns @ 50 bucks apiece...and a half dozen shovel fulls of nasty green covered surplus ammo.
Or maybe that’s just how it appeared to me because he kept the good stuff out of my sight.
