Great deal for P8A1
Arms Unlimited got a batch of these pistols and they are reselling them for a very fair price. The pistol is a variation of a USP made for the Bundeswehr and is somehow hard to get in the US because they are imported in small numbers. The variations are minimal, a couple of reinforcements in the slide, a slightly thicker finish, and most noticeably a traditional rifling barrel instead of a polygonal one. None of this matters but they are neat collector items and AU isn't asking much more than a regular USP so that's great. The pistol arrived in perfect conditions and everything is in good order. No complains. I am deducting one star because the import marks by B&T were done on the slight, right side, under the extractor. This is a conspicuous and somewhat annoying spot, most importers will engrave their marks under the trigger guard or by the serial number under the dust cover. I think that's the best way. It's not a huge deal (the engraving is small and well done) and it's outside of Arms Ulimited's control: again, Arms Unlimited is a great shop and their prices on these kind of items are absolutely fantastic, but that's the one small gripe keeping me from giving this really neat gun a full 5 star.

Premium Piece - Beautiful!
This is the epitome of H&K quality - so many features, perfect feel, cycles as smooth as glass, and very unique. The FFL had never seen one before! It's a precision, surgical instrument - thanks AU!

Pistol 5 Star, AU 3 Star
Pistol is exactly as described, new in the box with pistol, two translucent mags, German language manual, no cable lock. Mine was marked with B&T as the importer on the right hand lower edge of the slide. Beautiful pistol. Arms Unlimited gets three stars because it took a week for them to ship the pistol after they had the FFL information and had generated the shipping label and supplied me with the tracking number. I contacted them on the seventh day about why it had not shipped and then miraculously the pistol shipped that day and the tracking number showed movement. Get your act together AU. 2 days tops to ship once you have been paid and have the FFL.
