Went back to the store today to handle both guns. To make a long story short I decided on the Full Size HK USP45. It had to be ordered but should be in next week. Maybe I'm picky but I didn't want the one in the case. I don't get to buy guns too often, I figure it's my money I should be the first (only) one to handle it. A few quick comments about my decision if anyone is interested.

1. Biggest hold up on the USP had been the mag release. After handling the gun again I found the thumb and index finger technique to work better for me. Had tried one or the other but not both together. It felt like I could easily get used to that.

2. Higher capacity mags.

3. Sights. I like the 2 dot rear sight better than the single on the Sig. (small influence as that could be changed)

4. I have to say both guns felt very good in my hand. The HK seemed to point/aim a little better for me, may be the sights.

5. I just plained liked the HK. I MUST HAVE ONE!

The one thing I like better on the Sig is the decocker. I like the way it eases the trigger and hammer to decock position. Something about the hammer falling full force bugs me but is not a huge issue.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback in my previous post, I do appreciate it. Anxious to take my new tool to the range!

Congrats on the new purchase. you are now a "Tactical Posuer" along with the rest of us. HK's are quite addicting. check out HKPro.com for good discussions of all things HK from other HK fans.

I like the mag releases on H&Ks.
I've had other guns release their mags while carrying or while under my pillow at night.
Never the HK.
Just the right amount of feedback, and you won't eject the mag if your hand slips on the gun during recoil.
One of the surprising plusses about the H&K in .45 is the outstanding accuracy.
At least the ones that I've tried.
Congrats.

welcome to the club!! hope you enjoy your USP.

Fatboy, at first I thought you said 'hope you enjoy your club' :D

USP45F is a skosh too big for me. I like the gun (esp 10-ring's Expert). I love shooting it but it doesn't fit me like a glove. :( The HK mag releases are great.

Yup, congrats & welcome to the club ;) Now all you need is ammo & range time to get acquainted w/ your USP!

Thanks!

I have about 400 rounds of ammo ready to go and the indoor range is right down the street from my office. All I need now is the gun! Hopefully will spend a couple lunch hours at the range later this week.

I've had both. I Kinda favor the P220. My buddy and I bought fullsize USP45's when they first came out ('96?). He still has his and swears by it. He's not good at keeping his stuff clean but I've never seen his jam...not once. USP45's are awesome pistols IMO
Alot of fond memories riding many a mile on our ATV's with our USP's at our side. They would get covered in dirt and still went pop every time. That's what they're all about....rugged and reliable. Best, John
