The picture is crappy but several threads have been posted asking about the comparison of the H&K and the Glock.
Pictured above is my USP Elite .45 and below is my Glock 34 9mm
Both wear Meprolight adjustable, tritium dot, rear sights.
the Glock has a Mepro tritium front while the USP has an MMC tritium front.
I didn't see the need for the shark fin out front so I elected to use the MMC .185" tall front in place of the .305" Mepro front.
The factory front on the USP is the same height as the Mepro-light front and the gun hit point of aim at 25 meters right from the box.
Unfortunately the rear sight was adjusted 15 clicks from bottom and this just wasn't neccessary in my opinion.
I think H&K went with the 'look' of the MK 23 SOCOM by using higher than neccessary sights.
The tall sights are neccessary on the MK 23 SOCOM pistol so that one can aquire a sight picture with the Knight Suppressor screwed into place.
I have no intention of using a suppressor so,,,lower sights for me.
I will probably use an MMC on the Glock too, the front sight is really too tall and I worry about knocking it off if I get careless in a combat shoot.
The Glock is legal in all shooting sports depending on the magazine capacity.
The USP Elite is not legal for IDPA.
Both are as reliable as the other.
The Elite has a better trigger and is more accurate.
I can't decide if this is due to the caliber or the gun, but am quite pleased with the results.
