If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you,

Walther would be a good thing? I guess I am not seeing the broad picture of manufacturing or marketing.

There's a 18 pg thread on this over at HKpro, So far, from reading that, it's still a lot of speculation, with nothing confirmed either way.. Supposedly,(via a link provided in the thread at HKpro, which I didn't read) some HK people at the top over in Germany got caught with their fingers in the cookie jar, I'm assuming charges are pending, Also HK Germany is/has been in financial trouble for some time, being 300m in debt in Europe alone (according to linked article in HK pro thread that showed HK's financial statements) I don't mean to start another speculation thread, but, what few nuggets if info I did get from the HK pro thread, suggest that something is indeed afoot.. Those of you who like to speculate, may want to pick up some VP9's etc, while they're easily available..

As long as SIG or Taurus did not buy them...it might not be so tragic.
Does this mean we will see US made VP-9s that don't run as well as their German counterparts...ala SIG Sauer? LOL

If the rumor is true I hope it went to a good company. Id like the quality to hold out long enough for me to get a vp9 and some mags lol.

Well, my HK45t, and 45ct both have "Made in USA" on the frames..But, as I understand it, Really, it should be "assembled in USA"(with German parts) Anyway, they both run just fine...

As noted by the smilie. You win the prize. The other guy should buy you a latte.

How is a gun company $300M in debt now a days?
All I want to know is when they will start selling 14.5" 416 uppers commercially.

Not surprised, had heard rumblings about H&K possibly getting sold going back now several years from people I know in the industry. Will have to wait and see whether this is going to be a good thing or bad thing though. Hoping for good though, perhaps we may see more H&K designs enter/manufactured in the US that we will get access to.
