H&k usp elite v h&k usp expert?

[el Godfather]

Dear THR:
Between the Elite and Expert, which do you prefer? My initial inclination is towards the Expert because from what I have read it is mechanically identical to the Elite but for the length. If that is the case, I am doubtful that the extra length will do any significant good other than possibly making it obsolete for carrying purpose.

What is your take? I will appreciate your opinion and experiences at range with either.

Thank you

I suppose it all depends on the intended purpose. The Elite is the model that is a dedicated target gun. If that is the need, then the Elite may be the better choice. If you want to carry the gun, or use it in speed rated competition, then the Expert may be the choice.
