At a gun show this weekend I laid hands on an H&K USP 9mm, 96' date code. It's slightly used, but the finish is superb and functionality is flawless. Came with one Klinton mag. No prob, I thoght, I can just pick up a few normal cap mags on the trusty net. I was dismayed when I got home and started looking at prices on a few different forums, retail sites, and gunbroker. The 9mm normal capacity mags average 25 dollars more than their .40 and .45 counterparts.

My question is why this is - is HK not manufacturing for the normal public, or are they taking their sweet time waiting to catch up? If I wait to buy, are prices likely to drop in the next few months?

Try Topglock... http://www.topglock.com/catalog/sunset.htm

USP9 Fullsize magazines are $39.95

I think that's about an average price for fullsize H&K mags.

As for H&K taking there sweet time...I wouldn't be surprised. :eek:

www.fourfourmag.com also has them listed for $40 right now too.

Ahhh, a new HK owner I see! One thing you learn pretty quickly re: HK is that prices NEVER DROP! :banghead: :D

I'm gonna have to completely agree with 10-ring. With everything HK the only price changes you'll see are prices increasing or prices maintaining.

I would be happy to pay $55 for 12rd .45 Factory HK mags, but no one has them in stock. :fire:

I am really glad I pruchased my USP40 13 round mags for $20 real quick after the ban expired, 'cause they all disappeared.

If I hadent already left them 3 phone messages and 2 emails 2 weeks ago confirming stock to purchase 6 of them, without receiving any response back, I would. I will probably try and contact them again in Jan.

IMO, if they don't respond, they don't want my money.

Have you tried CDNN? good prices

HK seems to be shipping new guns with high caps now, the USP40c I got for me last weekend came with two 12 rounders. They are LEO marked still, but I know this wasn't a post ban LEO only gun because it is the new limited run OD green frame. Cheaper Than Dirt had a bunch of 9mm and .40 HK high caps for sale in the store for 39.95, but I think they are only in the retail store here in Fort Worth since they don't show on the website

I just picked up some std cap mags for my USP9C from CDNN for $39.95 (new OEM, but LEO marked). They also had std caps for full sized pistols, similar prices.

I called H&K a couple weeks ago to try and get some std cap mags, they said that they would be shipping them to dealers after the first of the year (no direct sales to 'civilians').
