Have alot of close friends of family and personal friends that have done served in a variety of capacities that employed H&K products:

Secret Service (Reagan and Big Bush's details--father's friend nicknamed "Nappy" for his last name Napolitano [spelling is off])
Force Recon (MCEP here at school who got re-activated and deployed to Afghanistan with the Force)
SEALs (former boss of mine who did his time and cross-trained with Army SF, Marine Force Recon and USAF Pararescue)
FBI HRT (friend's dad from back home)

I'm a big military buff as a hobby--I gave my try to join up, Army SF contract, fucked my elbow up a month before my ship date (ripped almost all the connective tissue in it--bending more than 10 degrees off straight was impossible) so that was a no-go. I also go to a university with a strong military tradition, so I have spent and do spend quite a bit of time talking to current/former military. I've heard alot of great things about the H&K products, their reliability and their accuracy. The only thing that came up was the quantity of parts involved when breaking one down and re-assembling. Not sure if they're still that part-intensive or if they've streamlined their equipment more.
