Why H&K?

I had a friend over the other day. He wanted to get info on a 40cal semi-auto handgun. I showed him some stuff & we talked about a few things. He has since asked his FFL dealer to find him a USP 40c. I hope he likes his as much as I do.

I'd been trying every .45 ACP pistol I could get my hands on. Nothing seemed to fit. Then a gun shop counter guy handed me a USP .45 and it was love at first heft.

I bought it on the spot and have never had reason to regret that decision.
The gun shoots to POA, easily handles +P loads, points naturally for me and is oh soooo nice to shoot.
NEVER EVER FOR SALE OR TRADE!

If I had one gripe about my USP, it would have to be magazine price. $49.99 per is kinda steep, but I've yet to wear one out so the old adage of "Buy quality, cry once. Buy cheap, cry much" applies here.

I think the biggest difference is accuracy. I shot my first HK about 6 years and I was so impressed with how much more accurate it was than my Glock and Glocks are accurate. I bought a standard USP .45 and then traded up for the tactical .45. I have never regreted the money I spent on my HK. I would like to buy and HK P7 but just don't have the funds.

For me it was fit, pointability, and compactness. I really love SIG products, but the USP in .40 with the LEM points and fits my hand better than the 239 (and almost as well as the 220--ideally I'd carry this but it's a bit bulky for everyday CCW IWB under a loose "T" for me). USP .40 compact was a good combination of firepower, totability, and shootability. Yes it is plastic and the trigger takes some getting used to because it stages fairly sharply but it does make an excellent carry gun.

Isn't it H&K that hates us all because we all suck? Or is that another gun co.?
