    H & K financial troubles continue

    In the ongoing saga of HK's financial turmoil, this recent article indicates that HK may be approaching the point of no return.

    Let's hope not. Maybe it is time for the German government to step in.

    Or for them to restructure and sell at more competitive prices and such, and expand the civilian market.

    Their pistols prices are very competitive now. Most HK hate because of the civilian market is unfounded. They can't expand their lineup - especially the stuff us civilians want, it's not that they don't want to - they simply can't. The German gov't won't let them.

    Sad to hear this. I've always thought of H&K as the BMW of the firearms world. I love their pistols and they make some damn nice rifles as well. I hope they're able to pull out of this before they slam into the ground.

    They can't sell you one, not because they don't want to. Under German gov't law, they cannot sell civilians weapon models designated as military weapons. So again, it is unfounded. That is why they have slightly 'different' versions of their military contract models. Why else would they create another totally different model that requires a crapload of money and man hours in separate R&D and testing when they could just sell the one already tested and vetted. It's because they can't.

    Add to the fact that the US gov't has eff'd them over twice already when they spent the extra money creating these alternate new models and then the US gov't enacted laws effectively banning the newly developed model before being able to sell them.

    That is the correct answer. Pick up and move headquarters to the US of A. Offer full content products to US civilian market, sell .mil and LEO guns to whatever countries the US State Department allows. They would do well I think without having their hands tied all the damn time by the Eurocuck govt' of Germany.
