make the plunge, go for it, you won't be happy again 'til you do the trade!!!

 

[AaInMo]

That's not really a struggle. Let the H&K go.

 

[GoneBallisticInAlabama]

Mk25.

 

[stlmia]

........do it

 

[AngeloG]

You can look at mine while you are waiting.

 

[animalhd1]

I would stay with that VP9 and if you really want the MK25 get it later to keep the VP9 company.

 

[birdzman]

HKs are expendable.

 

[Damon]

No......

 

[Czechvar]

How much are you getting for the trade and how much will you have to come up with for the MK25?

The MK25 is superb...I like HK, but I would do that if the price was doable.

Probably what I will end up doing...I like both guns, a lot, but you know how there is one thing that gets your attention every time you see that thing? The P226 is that for me, but especially the MK25. I love the original German version as well. It's a very close 2nd, and, at times, maybe edges the MK25, but I've about resigned myself to the fact that I'll have to get one of each before it's over.

I watched a new HK fail yesterday at the range, trigger locked up.

There, that should help you decide.

The MK25s at my LGS are registering at about $900, and I paid $649 for my LE VP9. I could probably get them to give me what I paid for it, considering I am trading up, or they would come off the MK25 a little for me, but at this point I think it would be better just to put the MK25 on layaway and keep the HK.

That is an interesting bit of news. I had a VP9 a could years ago and put about 1500 rounds through it over six months, and it performed well. The only issues I ever had with it was when my thumb locked the slide back when shooting. Aside from that, the gun was flawless, which really isn't a gun issue in my mind. I considered it to be a personal grip issue, which I seem to have corrected at this point. I've changed my grip to a higher position than before, which gives me better control of the gun, and positions my thumb out of the way, so we'll see how it goes.

 

[dplay]

Layin'away is better than layin'awake...at night...wishin' you hadn't let the HK go.

Duly noted.

Too late. You've already committed Signess in your mind .

Too late. You've already committed Signess in your mind .

The first gun I ever bought was a Kel-Tec .40, which is what the manager of the gun and pawn store I frequented in TN carried. Said it was a great gun for the money, so I bought it and went to the range. It jammed on me at least five times in 50 rounds, so I immediately returned to the store and demanded a trade. They agreed to give me what I paid for it, since it was malfunctioning, and I bought a used Sig Sauer P226 (the gun I really wanted to begin with) for $499. This was in 1999, and from that moment in time the P226 became my all-time favorite handgun.

They only reason I do not carry it today, EDC, is b/c I've come to learn that your favorite gun isn't always the best gun for what you need, and the Glock 19 has solidified itself as the perfect GP/EDC/Go to gun on the planet for me. Well, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that cricket Agent M gave K (Men in Black), but until then I'll have to settle for the 19. All that to say Signess has been in my veins from the start. I supposed it always will.

I hear ya GC. While I have many others, I have even more Sigs.

Problem solved

Glad I could be of assistance........
