So if youve read any of my threads in the past couple of weeks or so you know Im looking for a CCW weapon. I finally decided on the Kahr MK40/CS9.
Im going around to different gun stores trying to find a good price on a MK40/CS9 and I go into Jim Pruett's Guns and Ammo for the first time. Great store. The clerk, Jim I think, hands me a HK P2000SK V3. Immediatly I realise that this is the gun Im going to carry. It fits my hand, Its small enough and light enough to carry and most of all; it fits my hand.
Its 839.99.
Im sure Ill be able to find it cheaper($670 at CDNN, OTD w/shipping and FFL fees thats $151 less) but Id like to keep a store like Jim's around so Ill pay him. My question is: Why do HKs cost so damn much? I know they are good but what is it about theirs that brings the cost up? Is it just because thats what people will pay or because of something about the way they are made?
Also, how well do HKs age. If you look at a used HK can you eaisly tell if its been fired alot?
