HK .45F here. Mine, NIB, was under $600 :danceban: . Got it when it first came out and before you started paying a couple of hundred for the name also.
Over 5000 rounds, I would actually guestimate it more at around 7 - 10000 to be more accurate.
The gun shoots better than I could ever hope. In my hands I get constant great groups low center. In the hands of many of my friends that shoot better than I do, center hits with great groups.
Some don't like the feel of the grip or the looks. It's one of the only double stakes that I felt comfort holding. As for looks, I don't care what it looks like as long as it works (well, the Hi-Points are really ugly though :blink: ).
The pistol worked out of the box, without failure and is very easy to strip for cleaning.
Cons: Mags are expensive. The 9mm and the .40 not as much as the .45 so you will get them cheaper than I (for 10+ also). Some people don't like the enlarge trigger guard but that is that way for a purpose, for when you are wearing gloves, and it works because I have fired it this way (wearing gloves).
Some "tidbits" of information: I can't find where I put it or on the net anymore but years ago I read about some brutal tests that they were conducting. They didn't have a Sig at the time (I don't know if Sigs where relatively new or what) but they tested a bunch of guns with water, ice, mud, snow, running over them, etc.. and then fired them.
All guns failed except for the Glock and the HK (and I'm sure that Sig would have passed also) which passed each and every test. Oh, they used the same gun for each test, not a different one.
If I sound abit bias, I guess I am. But, I would not pay the prices that they have today when I know how much they were when I got mine and knowing that you're paying the extra $$$ for the name, not the pistol.
