True 'nough about CDNN. It's a great resource. Sometimes, though, they have weird colored guns at great prices (not a fan of "tan" polymer handguns, or OD frames either).

I'm not saying (nor did I mean to imply) that HK are "cheap"... I said "I'd ... spend the extra ducats" and get an HK. I bought mine when it was ~$600 a few years back (new), so I don't know what they cost right now, but (typing away on non-site restricted personal laptop in my office...) there's a LNIB V1 USP .45 for $600 right now on gunsamerica.com. And an OD LNIB for $625.... and another V1 for $645, etc....

As I mentioned early (and often) I'd rather buy good used (if I can wait for the right specimen) so this would be how I'd do it.

I'm just not hot on Kimber... I respect the heck out of them, but they're like Glocks AFAIC: Give me the $ for a great Kimber/Glock, and I'll spend it (plus a few extra $, if necessary) on something else that I actually dig. They cost more than I'm willing to pay for what I'm getting. That's "spendy" to me.
