MXTitan,just curious,but why pick the H&K over the Glock 23 27 or the Sig 229 family in 40 or 9mm?
The Sig 229 has the long fairly heavy trigger pull on the 1st shot,so it will never go off without the trigger being pulled long and hard(I doubt a kid under 6 could pull it),and a 6 yo certainly couldn't chamber a round.It doesn't have a formal safety since it just can't be fired without a long,hard pull-a safety on something like this is just one more thing to forget about during the stress of the monent.Just grab it and squeeze-12 lbs hard,and fairly long.It also is a bit-maybe $100 -cheaper than the H&K,and parts and such are more available.It is also Stainless steel and aluminum.The slide is black,but it is blackened SS.
The Glocks-23 and 27 are good choices-maybe $150 less than the H&K-have a much longer record of reliability,and there are all sorts of aftermarket items if you are into that(maybe not a good idea on a defence gun).They also don't have a formal "safety switch" but because of the built in trigger press safety,they can't go off from getting caught on clothing,dropped etc.Only way to make them shoot is to squeeze the trigger.Now,the trigger pull is less than on a SIG(maybe 5.5 lbs vs 12 lbs),so I guess a kid is a little more likely to be able to shoot it,but best to keep it out of the reach of kids(sometimes things go wrong of course,which is why I favor the SIG or S&W over the Glock in a house with little kids).
Just curious why the H&K- a "hand feel" thing?Thanks,Charlie PS for bang for size-bulk-price the Glock 27 is impossible to beat-small,light,40 cal(easily 400 ftlbs with proper ammo),10 rds,cheap,not too stiff a recoil.The glocks also seem to get a few more FPS for the same barrel length-academic really,but neat.
