They haven't done so poorly since, eh?
No, those krauts even blitzkrieged their way into taking over British military weaponry. If you can't do it with tanks, do it with Deutschmarks. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I wonder if this was an overly-ambitious intro to handguns for H&K? Wasn't it the first pistol they ever made? I don't think it was overly ambitious. It was H&K's modification of the Mauser HSc, IIRC, and it was their first pistol design. It was reasonably successful as a standalone .380. The 4 calibers (HK4) was kinda gimmicky IMO, but it was appealing to the collector in me. There was a lot of innovation in the pistol, but "one size fits all" led to some quirkiness in real shooting. I do give H&K credit for producing something that caught attention with American shooters. They haven't done so poorly since, eh? Harvey |
