If I had a $1000 I think I would buy a couple of S&W's new (or better yet a few used) as to a single H&K. Yes, I believe that H&K makes the best pistols in the world, But there is something to be said for a wheelgun and more to be said for the NY reload.
I believe that Rusty was the one who said something like, "Better to have one in the car, one at home, and one to carry everywhere else, than just one."
