I voted Browning but Ruger would have gotten my nod as well.
So, by your own post, you proved MM's point.
It's "Heckler & Koch" when spelled out, and "HK" when abbreviated.
If all Pistol manufacturers but one go out of business, please select the ONE you would want to remain.
Lol, yes Sturm & Ruger and Sig & Sauer make fine guns ......Rug&Er
How in the world did I prove MM's point? Everyone says S&W when referring to Smith & Wesson, I too have always used S&W when referring to Smith & Wesson, I have always used H&K when referring to Heckler & Koch the trade name is trademarked as such. In reality it doesn't really matter much what you refer to then as in my opinion, calling a magazine a clip matters but not whether you omit or include the ampersand in S&W or H&K.....
When referred to by its full name, "Heckler and Koch", yes, they use the ampersand.
When referred to by only its initials, it is pronounced "HK", without the ampersand.
HK. (not H&K).
The comapny is named Heckler & Koch, I agree with the H&K usage here

Do you have a Heckler & Koch bible we don't know about ? The company name is not Heckler and Koch it's Heckler & Koch....I have always said H&K and I will continue because I like but mostl because I now know it will annoy you

Did you even look at the picture YOU posted?
It shows "Heckler & Koch" & "HK". Which is exactly what MM said.
If you can't remember what he said:
So, "Heckler & Koch".
And "HK"
Which is EXACTLY what the picture you posted shows. Reading is fundamental.
