Yowza on those magazine prices!
I’m on Botach Tactical’s e-mail list and bought my HK magazines when he had ‘em on sale (don’t remember how much they were-around $30?).
I just checked his site and he shows HK USPC 40 S&W for $45 ($10 more than other HK mags).
Managed to pick up a few new SIG mags at Gunbroker.com.
Botach’s showing SIG factory 14-round P229 40 S&W/.357 SIG for $49.95, 3/$135, 6/$240. I wasn’t aware they made 14-rounders, and SIG’s site shows only 12-round for the P229 (SIG shows $42 for 12-round 40/357 SIG mags).
Apparently due to a glitch in his site?, if you select just the SIG Sauer Magazines (Instead of SIG Sauer Max Cap Magazines) and then select the pull-down box for the P229 14-round mags they are $35 instead of $49.95! Don’t know if you can get away with that price or not, but I tossed a few in the cart from each to see what showed up and the prices stuck (same mag for $49.95 and $35)?
‘Course at those prices they’re still too damn high!
As others have stated, HK/SIG stuff is overpriced, but being the cheap bastard that I am I managed to buy both of mine when my local gun shop was given a deal by his distributor.
Unless the OP has some compelling need for the features offered by the HK (I liked the Variant 1 option), there are other guns just as dependable (I’m thinking XD!) for much less money unless you can find a deal on ‘em.
