HK 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | The interchangable caliber design makes the HK 4 well suited, in my opinion, for places such as New York, where a pistol is defined as the frame, and not the barrel (as it is in some European jurisdictions), and owning more than one pistol is either difficult or impossible. |
 | | I believe it is the first pistol made by H&K. According to the manual, "it is possible to handle the HK 4 improperly, but hardly incorrectly!" And with that poor translation, let us begin. |
 | | The HK 4 is a double action pistol, meaning it is both cocked and fired with the trigger for the first shot, and subsequently single action, with the trigger merely releasing the hammer, it having been cocked by the reciprocating slide. |
