The one I handled had a lot of creep in the mag release, even with H&K-made mags. The welding is also noticeably poorer. The fit and finish doesn't feel quite as good as the HK91s I've handled. Not sure who thinks it's better than H&K.
But then, they may have made improvements, just as Taurus has done with many of their clones. But I still find the idea of U.S. gun makers building foreign-designed weapons suspect. Even if the tooling is the same, it's usually hard to top the years of experience that the original manufacturer has in perfecting the overall build quality.
