While I agree that the Krieghoffs are a good gun for the money as they fit me better than the Merkels...part of the reason so many African Professionals shoot the Krieghoffs is that Kreighoff offers them to the PH's at a VERY reduced price...about half of what you or I would pay...for this very reason--people see the PH with a Krieghoff and wow, another sale is made...
