^^^one of my locals has the LEM p2000 357 sig for about that price.

the reason being--the LEM trigger sux. it's like 12 pounds and a mile long pull (plus they've had it in stock for a year and want to rid themselves of it)....
 
I think that email with the guy bragging about his job is exactly what hk owners buy into.
 
I have no sympathy for those who complain about the "high price" of any gun because they don't know how to avoid paying top-dollar retail for it.

To the vigilant goes the prize. ;)

Perhaps someone more schooled can cite the specifics - - I believe the bias is because HK is perceived as catering to the military / LEO market, with selling to civilians a seeming after thought or perhaps necessary evil.

If true, it could be some of that European anti-gun mentality, or whatever the German culture has become post WWII.

In my experience with their customer service people, NOT true.

I didn't see this post until today, too bad as it's SPOT ON, or at least much of it is! They had my pistol for seven months, thats "SEVEN MONTHS!" They were seemingly unconcerned with my satisfaction as a private customer, I'd have to call them nonchalant, almost borderline indifferent to the clearly identified mechanical issues with my specimen.
They weren't jerks or anything, just got the overwhelming impression that they were not comfortable dealing with a private citizen...
 
The HK is a good pistol, but not a great value when it comes to price vs. performance. Same argument can be made for SIG too. I'll take a CZ over either of them any day...
 
If you never owned a $400 grand Rolls Royce you would never know what a hand built car drove like. Same as a $2 grand gun, if you never shot or owned one you would not know how it shot and handled. So if you only owned working mans guns you would not be missing anything
 
Pending on what I'm wearing, I always have either my USPc or my P2000sk on me. I couldn't be happier with my choice of self defense. My families' lives are worth every penny.
 
One reason they might NOT deserve high points is, at least in the not distant past, HK service has been unresponsive and poor toward civilian customers. This plays into the "value" of the item. IF you can't get parts or reasonably fast service, it reflects on the total product.
 
Overpriced

My agency issues the H&K P2000. The guns proved easy to shoot, accurate and very reliable.

ALMOST!

Recently we had several guns lock up and refuse to fire at the range. The officers carried the guns in a marine/shipyard enviorment and corrosion had rendered the guns unable to fire. I found this troubling considering the high price of the H&K pistols.

They are good guns, but I think many of their competitors are just as good and cheaper. The BERETTA, GLOCK and SIG, to name a few.

Obviously to some people they are, or else HK would no longer produce pistols.

To the starving haitian, probably not.
To me, yes.

Going to have to raise the BS flag on that one. This "corrosion" internet rumor has been going around lately, and started with an "official" report that had no source, names, or anything to link it back to anything significant. Pure troll-created BS in my opinion. C'mon Jim, you're gonna have to do better than that!
 
As someone who owns Glocks, HK, Kimbers and Berettas, I find Kimbers the most overpriced, especially for the quality delivered for the price; but then again, my HK is the P7..............

Yeah, but this is the H&K hatefest; the Kimber Hatefest is soon to be 'round the corner. If they had more of a market saturation: I could see the point of the question, but they aren't to the pint of ubiquity... Unlike not being able to swing a dead cat and not hit a Glock:rolleyes: H&K has a shrewd business model, and it has worked out well for them.
