Later acquisition HK

[FortTom]

Any other HK folks here? I don't know why I didn't do this years ago. Probably because most German made guns are to big for my hands. I bought a used but VGC HK USP 40 Compact. I didn't know how I would really feel about a SA/DA with a de-cocker and the strange (to me) position of the mag release. What I found after some time at the range, everything felt completely intuitive and natural. It's fits my hand perfectly, about the same size as a G19.

It is quickly becoming my favorite handgun and I wish I could find one in 9mm. The cop I bought it from says he'll keep an eye out for one. I was worried that I paid too much, but when I saw all over the 'net, how much people were asking for theirs, I got a great deal. Gun came with 3 mags, I ordered three more HK 12 round mags. HK and it's aftermarket parts stores are very proud of their parts, though, I paid $37 each. Kind of high. Felt like I got bent over on that one.
