    Found this info after downloading the current HK catalog from the HK Germany site.

    Page 13 on the "Product Catalogue Sport & Security"
    http://www.heckler-koch.com/no_cache...formation.html

    P8A1
    The USP variant introduced into service by the German Armed Forces.

    Overview of the P8A1:
    - Caliber 9 mm x 19
    - Open square notch rear sight with luminous contrast points (non-radioactive)
    - Ambidextrous magazine release
    - Combined safety and de-cocking lever leave the weapon in a safe state after de-cocking
    - Hammer and firing pin safety
    - Functional safety even under adverse conditions
    - Cold hammer forged barrel made of high-strength steel with lands and grooves profile

    The following features of the P8A1 differ from the USP:
    - Barrel with lands and grooves profile
    - Transparent magazine with dust protection
    - P8-specific positioning of the safety and de-cocking lever

    From what I am aware of, none of the USP-type pistols have been imported into Canada with the clear (18 round, for standard USP/P8) magazines. Of course the mags would have to be pinned/riveted, but I have a USP, have owned others in the past, currently own 7 other HK pistols and an HK rifle, and I have never seen or heard of anyone privately owning the clear mags in Canada. If these pistols had the clear mags, that alone would be an automatic "buy" for me, as that is unique and cool. Sadly, I think the only real differences between this pistol and the the 9mm USP are going to be: (a) the markings on the slide, (b) the standard (non-polygonal) rifled barrel, and HK poly barrels are great, and (c) the reversed safety decocker. Still cool though. Should be a nice pistol.

    Some stores already have these, anyone look at one? Clear 18 round mags, pinned, or (inevitably), black 10-round "California mags" (not pinned, but factory made to hold only 10 rounds).

    My P8 (not A1) that I bought a few years ago came with the standard black 10 round polymer mags. I highly suspect that the P8A1 with also have the same.

    They come with the regular factory 10 rounds (black) magazine, not the translucent ones shown above.

    Any chance the "selector" can be switched to the left side? and will an LEM trigger work?

    What dealers can get these? Would Wolverine supplies be able to obtain this? Also, is this a limited release item, or can it always be had?

    Where are you located in Ontario? It's not a limited release item but stocks are limited so you may have to wait for restock if they're sold out.
