[/quote]Germany newspaper Die Welt reports that Heckler & Koch (Germany) have more debts than they have assets and they have been unable to cover the cost of interest payments on their debts. Their debts are 7.2 million euroes greater than their assets.[quote]

They have invested in some projects that did not pan out for major contracts it sounds like.
H&K has always been top tier weapons. Why keep trying to re-invent the wheel when you own the dang wheel.
Same with AR's. Minor changes cosmetically and DI to piston driven systems but NO MAJOR OVERHAUL.
It just plain works!

Good , I hate those pricks. If they had it their way governments would be the only gun owners. Screw H&K.

H&K has made it clear they have think we have no right to guns, and have little interest in selling their guns to "us civvies."

The reason HK rifles aren't imported is because they are "non-sporting rifles" and banned by the BATFE from importation.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

For the price of H&K's they should be nowhere near debt. Poor money management on their part.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Thanks for the link, informative, Good link. I imagine all the haters will continue to hate; the truth cannot be allowed to contradict their opinion. Having never owned an HK or thought much about buying one, I still get firearm envy every time I see them demonstrated on some Military show. I didn't know I was supposed to hate them.
Practice doesn’t make perfect.
Practice makes permanent.

If they would come down on the 91's and 93's a bit, I bet they'd sell a ton of 'em.

That's too bad. I don't hate H&K at all but any pistol of theirs I have held or owned has been returned to the case quickly. Just doesn't feel right to me. (Personal preferences)

They do make great firearms, but very over priced and very anti 2A. I'll never own an H&K again because of that....

HK makes an excellent firearm. They are top notch. Agreed! I've owned/own several pistols of different make and caliber. I have yet to be as impressed with anything like I am the USP. Now people, this is all strictly opinionated. What might be right for me is probably going to be different for anybody else. As long as you achieve your mission, does it matter? Here's to not hating

My only problem with them is magazine availability.
