HK Flare Pistols arrived

Happiness is a box with HK toys in it.

The flare guns are here. When they listed them as Unissued they werent kidding. Theres a few marks on the breechface that I am going to attribute to test firing, otherwise they look minty. Theyre certainly packed in enough preservative/grease to be new unissued. Not as bad as your average SKS or SMLE, but definitely gonna go through some Gumout or other solvent…and a buncha toothpicks and q-tips.

Pistols are all polymer except the barrel and the internals. Everything is non-reflective black except the lanyards which ar OD green. Simple break-open action, no safety, rebounding hammer. Lanyard loops with a lanyard. Gun comes in a cheezy looking vinyl carry pouch thats loaded with pockets for flares and holds a cleaning brush (included).

Flares, as well as smoke, are available all over the internet. (26.5mm is the size listed on the gun)

I’ll be getting some flares here shortly and then posting a review of these things on the website. For the price, they seem like a good deal. An extra $17 gets you an adapter to shoot 12 ga. flares (and, no, it wont let you shoot 12 ga. ammo…thatd be dangerous [as well as illegal] in this weak action.

Final cost through Sportsmans Guide, using their Members Discount, was, delivered, $121.90 or $40.63 per flare gun/package.
