I'm waiting for my CCW processing and have been shooting a variety of different weapons trying to decide what is right for me.
I've tried;
Glock (Don't like too wide)
SIG (like them but a tad bigger than I like)
HK USP (Love it, pefect fit)
Para (Hate the trigger, I find myself looking at the hammer as it goes back)
This purchase will be my first pistol purchase so I am very inerested in getting it right. I've shot 9mm, 40 S&W and .45 ACP primarily. Here is where it gets interesting. I shoot the .45 far more accurately than the other two rounds. My skill with the 9mm is horrible. 40 S&W better than the 9mm but not as good as the .45. I've been dead center on targets at 25-30 feet nearly every time I pick up a .45. I would think just the opposite would be true as the .45 has the largest amount of recoil.
I was convinced a .40 S&W was going to be the caliber for me....But I'm starting to wonder. I need the gun to be hide-able for CCW and the larger .45 frames make me think I won't be able to conceal it as well.
But anyway, any thoughts on why the inherent tendency to shoot the .45 better? I'm not real big....(5' 5" 150#) Does my size have anything to do with it? Could it be as simple as the rentals aren't accurate?
I was all set to get either the USP .40 or the P2k .40, but am wondering if I should consider a .45 ACP since I seem to shoot it so much better.
