I saw one in a gun store a few years ago, and immediately said, "You always were an asshole, Gorman."
I had seen them periodically, but never got to fondle one, so I asked the shop owner if I could see it. I tried the trigger and immediately realized that all the talk about horrible, gritty, heavy trigger pulls on the VP70 was simply understatement. The thing was hideous. I handed it back.
It's a neat piece of history, both for real and Hollywood reasons, but I can't see spending that kind of coin on one unless I was either a serious HK collector or a serious Aliens movie buff.
