I don't dunk guns. It may loosen the crud inside a gun and move it around, but that's not my objective when I clean a gun. I spend the time.

I've used similar on 1911s. Just take the grips off and lock the slide back.... dunk it and let it soak for awhile... come back and brush the bore... dunk again for awhile... Take the gun out, shake the gun into the bucket blow out with compressed air... Dry patch the bore and let the gun dry off. Come back later and put the grips back on and your done.
Sloppy, but fast... and works great when you are cleaning 50 pistols at once. Actual time spend with each gun is maybe 2 minutes.
For just one pistol, this isnt how I would want to do it.

Your HK's are going to shoot forever with just a little TLC. I wouldn't see the need for that?

Make yourself a big bucket of Ed's Red for next to nothing. It's not going to get your gun perfectly clean, but it's good enough for a quick job when you don't have alot of time. Case in point, I was out serving civil papers the other night. Got caught in the rain, dripping wet by the time I was able to get back to the truck. When I got home, I pulled the grips off my pistol and tossed the whole thing in a 5 gallon bucket of Ed's Red. Sloshed it around in there for a couple minutes, wiped it down and I'm ready to go again.

Dunk it
I made one up out of an old pressure cooker and a cobbled up small parts basket. Kerosene works well as a soak solvent...'Course, the gun goes in
after detail stripping, and I only use it when:
A. The gun is grossly cruddy and/or,
B. Time is at a premium and I want to leave it to soak the crud loose.
Cheers!

hkusp,
Just a note, you may want to find out if the dunkit kit will remove the painted markings from your H&K frame. If you have a USP this is a concern. Detail striping a USP (if this is what you have) is no harder than a 1911--just different.
My USP40c gets detailed about every 2000 rounds. Otherwise the barrel, slide and frame assembly get cleaned and oil placed in the recommended points. No failures yet!

And deposit crap into areas you can't reach like the firing pin channel and extractor channel.
I've used Dunk-it for a while on a number of different guns and actions. It works fine. Using compressed air to blow stuff out/around works good, too. The only concern I've had has been with things like the enclosed channel where a firing pin goes through and I don't or can't remove the pin. Blowing air through the channel or spraying the channel with bore scrubber makes me feel better; then, perhaps a drop of oil in the thing.
