    Default Which German?

    Which German company do you prefer? Heckler & Koch, or Walther?

    I like both. If I had to choose, the HK. Their guns are built for +p ammo, and high round counts. But the Walther is classy too.

    I have a few H&K's but don't think there's anything wrong with Walthers or SIGs even though I don't onw any (outside of the P210-6).

    It's funny, HK hates us all (even us dealers) but I still like them and own them. Walther is good quality but I just never liked the look or feel of them.

    Interesting side note, Walther makes a crap ton of 22s for other manufacturers and most people don't realize it.

    The oldest , J.P.Sauer & Sohn!

    They made the high quality and highly collectible W.German Weatherby's , Colt Sauer rifles and my 1966 Herter's .401 Powermag single-action revolver.

    I was under the impression that Umarex made all those .22's for Walther , Colt and others?

    I guess technically yes since IIRC umarex bought walther but what they bought still makes them. Kinda like Chrylser was bought by some german company (VW pr porsche or something) but chrysler is still making chrysler vehicles.

    Everyone knows I like HK. Paddle mag release for life.



    Walther is good too, I have a few. If I had to do it again, I'd choose the PPQ M1 over the VP9.

    Sig doesn't count as German. I won't buy one.

    Sig is originally Swiss , but Sig-Sauer are most definitely German-made as evidenced by the Made in W.Germany marking on my P226.

    Keiner der beiden.

    Gib mir Oesterreichische, Schweiz-Deutsche, oder Amerikanische Pistolen.

    Glock (19), SIG-Sauer (P228), Dan Wesson (1911), or Colt (1911).
