Am I being paranoid ?

[beardog308]

I was out of town for work in Northern AZ. My bank account was hacked and although I usually Cary some emergency money, I left it with my wife in case the had an emergency. I could've borrowed some cash from my co worker but that's not how I roll. So I pawned my travel piece, a HK USP compact .40.

There were two guys in the store and when one found out about my HK, he pulled out the same gun from his holster although he said his was alot older. I picked it up this morning and only pulled the slide back checking for cclear. I got home and went out back to pop some rounds off and noticed that the take down pin on the grip by the mag well was 3/16" sticking out. Enough that it wasn't aligned with the opposite hole. I think Dude opened my gun and swapped his tired springs for my minty fresh springs. Or am I being paranoid? The trigger feels the same, I think...With the millions of gun shops here in Yavapai county I'm already making calls to trade it for the same but in 9mm to consolidate calibers. I should've looked it over but was in a hurry to leave for home and I would've noticed that pin beforehand. I should've put the lock through it but now that I live in AZ I always have the gun close.

so you think something happened and nothing but assumptions. carry on and no pawing any HK. maybe a glock but no HK

I would have borrowed money from a co-worker, and paid it back ASAP instead.

I don't trust anyone except certain gunsmiths or the manufacturer with my guns.

Fortunately springs are pretty cheap and easy to replace.

ETA: check your barrel and make sure it isn't old and worn.

I would be every bit as "paranoid". Chances are he probably did help himself... He knows there's nothing you can do about it now.

I would have borrowed the money too. Never trust anyone with your gun. Get the 9mm instead.

Buy yourself some new, minty-fresh springs and don't go pawning your gun in the future.

You're not paranoid, chance you've been cheated. Buy a new spring

this was my first thought too.

You don't have a CC? Usually you can get a cash advance on them, expensive money but in a pinch it works.

[afteractionreport]

Looks like you got "Chaz'ed"

[beardog308]

The barrel is fine. Usually I have cash on me but figured I'd hit a ATM once I was in town. I don't know what it is with Page, AZ but I get double charged everywhere so I pay with cash now. I have a CC but left in a rush figuring I'd handle business once in town and left everything with the wife. They also don't have my bank branch there. I just drove back to CA but when I get back I'm looking for a P30. Look for .40 ammo in the classifieds soon.

"Just Because You Are Paranoid Doesn't Mean They Aren't Out to Get You".

[steelholder]

They got you bro. 100% he did it check your sights, grips even the paint may have been partially stolen to make his gun perfect again, in expense of your poor little innocent hk. Just let me have it.

[The Gleam]

We're watching you.

What a jerk! I had to pawn my AR once , when I picked it up the bolt was out of it and the Badger Tactical charging handle was broken off, I immediately made the manager aware and he actually gave me the money to buy a new one.

I went over the rest of the gun but everything else was cool.

I will never pawn one again.
