I've been on the fence for a while, thought about it a lot. I did it yesterday. I let go of my Pre CZ Dan Wesson 1911, for a new HK45. For some reason, I just never carried the 1911 much. I never shot the 1911 much either. It was an extremely accurate 1911 when I did shoot it. I like the HK45 fit in my hand. I like having double action and de-cocker. I like the ease of breakdown and re assemble for cleaning. I do believe I will carry this pistol quite a bit on outdoor activities. I am excited to get to pick it up, this new mandatory background wait sucks for law abiding citizens. Plz chime in with your thoughts. I looked at Sig and FN offerings, and liked the HK by a long shot. My closest friends felt it was a good move and encouraged the trade, as it was mighty hard to let the DW go.
