Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 98% of its metal finish. Most of the wear is evident on the barrel from normal operation. There is some light edge wear to the slide, most are at the muzzle. It does not appear to be holster wear. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. There is little wrong with the finish. Overall, this handgun rates in about Excellent condition, the barrel wear does not concern us.
Mechanics: The single action trigger pull is crisp. The safety blocks the firing pin when engaged, allowing the hammer to fall without firing the pistol. The decocker serves to cock or un-cock the hammer as well as functioning as a slide release when fully depressed. To un-cock the hammer, the safety is engaged, the de-cocker depressed and the trigger then pulled and released while holding the de-cocker down. The pistol can be shot in single action only mode by swiveling the trigger stop in the trigger guard up until it blocks the trigger from going back far enough to cock and release the hammer. The single action trigger is light and very crisp, although with some take-up, as expected. You can adjust the trigger with the fine adjustment feature also found on this pistol.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes in a box with 3 additional magazines (total 4), an Owner’s Manual and test target. The box is cardboard with a black finish on the outside, a green finish on the inside and metal reinforcements on the corners. The top of the lid is marked “Heckler & Koch GMBH Oberndorf/N. Germany”.
Our Assessment: This is a unique pistol with a multi-purpose decocker that can be used to cock and de-cock the hammer as well as release the slide. It also has an adjustable trigger stop for a single action that prevents double action mode. This pistol has barely a mark on it. It is great mechanical condition and it should be, as It was built with typical German reliability. The included accessories as photo’d definitely sweeten the deal.
