Title: Traded for a new HK45
Post by: C-Money on January 28, 2020, 09:36:33 AM: 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.

I had a USP compact that I loved, it just wasn’t compact enough. It fit my hand perfectly, pointed well and shot really well.

The P30SK is pretty great for concealed carry during the cooler months. I'm just to chunky to keep it hid well in T-shirt weather. Glad you approve of the trade York, helps me from second guessing so much!

Agree super comfortable. Glad to hear you like your USP 45.

Thanks Alchase, yes...I'm very happy. Hope Grant County gives me the green light soon, would really like to hit the range this weekend.
