    And Chrysler owns Mercedes and Volkswagen owns Rolls Royce. In the words of Johnny Ola, One by one our old friends are gone. Death, natural or not, prison, deported. Hyman Roth is the only one left, because he always made money for his partners.

    There were a few of the HKM4 rifles (selective fire as well as semi automatic) at the SHOT Show and I was impressed with their fit and finish as well as the quality of their 30 round magazines which have metal followers. As a former HK LE dealer who moved over to Colt several years ago, my question to the HK rep (who I had never met before) was how, in an AR market already crowded with names like Colt, Bushmaster, Olympic Arms, Armalite, and Rock River (plus others), is HK going to capture LE sales away from the established firms I've just mentioned? HK plans to push the overall quality of their new rifle and the changed gas system will be a major selling point (or so they hope). I was not quoted any prices and have no idea what the cost will be but as I mentioned to the rep; once upon a time (like the mid-1980's) just having the name Heckler and Koch stamped on a firearm meant INSTANT sales for dealers, often at full retail. Times have changed and there are very few products carrying the HK brand name which are ringing up big LE sales besides the MP-5 and it is getting long in the tooth. Perhaps this new AR, if released for sale to civilians, will the item to return the company to its former glory.

    Mark - Interesting and insightful commentary!

    As for a Sig 1911.. That could be one excellent pistol. It seems that more and more companies are making 1911 clones these days... I guess you just can't beat the design. It amazing as to how a nearly 100 year old design can still compete with modern designs

    May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.
