Heckler and Koch's "new" VP9 pistol

and it was a giant POS failure.

Sure it was, but that wasn't the point. He claimed that HK does not innovate, but rather copies. I'd say the distinction of the first ever polymer pistol is innovation.

The street price of these will be about $600. Within $100 of the brands you mention. You think the build quality of a Glock is close to an HK?

Glock is made in Alps where the mineral count is higher thus strengthening the bond of molecules making the Glock bulletproof and better than any other polymer made pistol.

Original post said "within the last ten years." I think that excludes the MP7 but I'd have to check.

Of course, glock hasn't really brought anything revolutionary to the market in that timeframe either.

The semi automatic one was. That pistol was actually designed with a 3 round burst when you connect the stock to it. Once you remove the stock and the three round burst you just get a neutered machine gun with a horrible trigger and no real use.

I'll keep my Glock.

Nice. But I thought someone else had a lock on striker fired perfection?

Leave the striker fired crap to glock and give me something with a hammer and a safety.

agreed, - the not liking

I guess I'll stop waiting for a p30ls to come up. Question: if p30 and USP are not real hk then what is? I thought the p30 was pretty nice.

I enjoy my USP. Its an old 1994 model. Still had the old non captured spring. still running like a champ.
