You should pick one up. If you don't like it, you'll have no problems selling it quickly.

Damn you.
Get it. Then you can OC it and show off.
That made me chuckle. Lol

MP7 is as close as it gets. Unfortunately you're not on Team 6
...I applied, they just never called me back
Shame the waiting period cannot start tomorrow and be available for pick up on the 17th. I am pulling the trigger on this sweet thang tomorrow. Just ordered a TLR2g too.

This is equivalent to the Glock 17?
I've had my eye on a 19 for a little while now.

Yes. Identical in size. Little wider than the 17. This is my conundrum now. Since my MK25 is my "full size"pistol.
Maybe I'll part with my shield to alleviate some of the financial pain. Lol I hate wanting and not needing.

I looked at one. Not too big. Great feel in hand. No way I could ever get use to the paddle mag release. You must change your grip to get at it, or use your weak hand, and either way its still tough to get at. So I passed and bought a Sig P320 instead.

The paddle release isn't an issue for some (myself). Got used to that design with the USP45 - albeit it's a smaller size release.

The VP9 is superior to the USP design - I must change my grip in order to get to it on the USP series, but not so on the HK45/P30/VP9.
$719?

We're trying to get a few more in by the 17th and they'll be $700, though I think we still have one. They've suddenly gotten harder to get from distributors however.
Absolutely not! A Glock is certainly not equivalent to any HK in any Iteration! Go and take a look at one first hand. Read all you can about the VP9, if you still feel the Glock is better, that is your prerogative. But not many people will share your belief. The price point between an HK has been erased with the introduction of this pistol. Glock can come out with any new wiz bang upgrade of their pistols, but HK was the original with polymer and striker fired pistols. Glock is the manufacturer that flooded the market with cheap copies. They are the Chinese BSA optics of the pistol market.

No. I am just kidding. Glock are great pistols for the price point in which they are produced. I remember hearing from somewhere probably a few years ago that it only costs about $80 to produce a Glock. Which is how they can sell to police departments at a fraction of their MSRP price.

Wow Thai. How do you really feel? 
I was mainly asking about full size vs a little more compact.
I've never held or fired an HK. I've seen the kind of hell a Glock can go through and come out looking fine, where other high end handguns are only good for the recycling bin.
This whole thread actually has me looking into the HK. Now to find one to borrow and send a few rounds down range.
I'm still really new to these semi auto pistols.
Cheers.
