    As YODA would possibly say due to his established iconic dialogue "..........it will be!"

    Interesting piece there my man, while it is cool and probably nice to shoot. I have to agree with Sawin, HK did those weird changes that makes it look all plasticky and too much like a toy. Need to paint it black.......... That way the next guy that gets it, will have it all done for them.

    ...............so break a record, go for 4 months?

    Sorry I just can't resist. From a legendary internet letter-

    An open letter to the gun community from HK’s marketing department:

    ...Because you s**k, and we hate you, but we know you’ll be back. We can beat you down like a trailer park wife, but you’ll come back, you always do.
    Buy our stuff.
    Sincerely
    HK Marketing DepartmentHK. Because you s**k. And we hate you.

    Have Fun and

    Merry Christmas

    Santa can pound sand. That sucker probably won't spend $275 for the bolt carrier I need.

    Don't let the passive color fool you fellas. It shoulders great, is nice and compact for close quarters, recoil is very manageable, and very light. A couple other members and I zeroed it at about 50 yards last weekend and was hitting torso sized steel out to about 125 yards with just the irons! Today we're zeroing the Aimpoint H-1, and am expecting another 50+ yards of effective range. You'd be pleasantly surprised with the accuracy and velocity a .45 ACP round can produce out of a 16" barrel!

I used RIT dye that you find at walmart in the detergent section, the liquid stuff in the 4 oz or whatever tiny size bottle it was in.

    You can't go wrong with Hk. Now get a UMP conversion kit and put it together.

    Did you have to strip the lower? I hear the factory black parts turn greenish if dyed. Being all plastic, I'm considering a couple coats of Fusion paint instead.

    Just got back from the range. The H-1 is zeroed now at 50 yards, and despite the wind, we were hitting the steel consistently at 175 yards. Cfortune was even pulling off head shots at that distance. Pretty impressive.

    One of the funnest guns I've had the opportunity to play with. The grey is kind of growing on me now that the rails and H1 are on it .

    Now you just need a grey framed USP to go with it!
