Check them out over at CMP.

Or you might get lucky and find one yourself from a friend or friend of a friend or at a gun show or just about anywhere. Prices seem to range from as low as around $700 to at least $2k for the various models. This is a decent place to start to get an idea of a rifle's value so that when you do see one somewhere you will have an idea of what it's worth.

Like the 1911 for the beauty and history. I'll have one of those before an HK. My only problem is deciding on new or old for a piece of history to go with my Garand.

well the M1 Garand is one we both like but ive never shot one but love the sound it makes when it throws the empty clip

The darn thing is so loud I haven't really noticed the famous sound yet. It doesn't seem to be near as prominent as in the movies. At least to me.

I like HK stuff. Don't have any yet, but I like them.

What? There's something better than a Glock? Just teasing.

I like Glocks, but do have a couple other things after purchasing my first Glock ~13 years ago. I have only CC'd a Glock and chose to do so because of the simplicity and reliability and on the recommendation of two different police officers. Just because that's what I've chosen to carry doesn't mean I can't appreciate anything else.

All of my Glocks have 3.5lb trigger. No problem if keep your finger off the trigger.

I thought they come with a 5.5lb pull

That's what they say, but I put a gauge on my G21 once and it was nearly 7 pounds. I have considered getting it lightened up somehow, but haven't done it yet. Either way, keep things out of the trigger guard and there won't be any problems.
