Your statement hasn't gone unnoticed I'm sure. I have 5 HK's, 4 Sigs, and 2 1911's. There is a reason for the high number of 21st century pieces, cause they work. So do the 1911's and rather well.

You know now someone will now come in and make a Grock comment

Now leave us alone and let us spend our hard earned money on fun toys TS.......I kid, I kid. Moving out
I also have ONE 1911 in my gun safe and as soon as the "Antiques Roadshow" comes to Phoenix its gone.

Most manufacturers are offering incentives for a purchase of one of their firearms. Sig has a $50 or $100 rebate depending on models. Para Ord runs this offer pretty regularly (which is a damn fine one too), S&W has at times offered good pricing for LE/Mil. Glock has the LE/Mil Purchase program. Name a big domestic company that does not offer good deals for LE/Mil, there are few, very few.

Small companies are getting in on it. HK just does it for exclusive rights. I love their guns, but don't like their attitude towards end users. Our Bn armorer doesn't like playing around with the MP-5's anymore because he has a hard time getting parts kits. HK wouldn't even send him a manual for the MP-5 in Afghanistan to help him fix them. They just wanted it to be sent in. I can't imagine civilian customers trying to get something from them.
I've heard this quite a lot, I'll have a chat with them (HK Reps) at the Shot Show.....
