i am considering trading my 1911 for a H&K 45 what is everyones thought on H&K are the good and reliable
Which should make the HK45 even better as it is a product improved USP.The USPs are about as close as you'll get to a 1911 in a polymer framed pistol as far as the manual of arms.
however, there's no way i'm paying a grand for a polymer pistol
For a new gun, you're right. I found a like new HK USP 45 for $555.00 delivered.
While HK does seem to make decent guns, I have yet to see any test which indicate that you really get any benefit for the inflated price. At nearly double the price of most of its competitors I don't see any evidence it's twice the gun in terms of accuracy or reliability.
I've yet to see a published comparison test between different polymer pistols that actually favored an HK pistol. If you do a little leg work, you can find some comparison tests in gun magazines and on different gun websites. None of these articles have ever named an HK pistol as best in class. I actually don't recall ever seeing an HK ever finish in the top 3 in one of these articles.
