H&K USP 45C
I have one. Yeah, it's 99.99 percent reliable (like my 1911), Yeah it'll feed anything (like my 1911). Yeah, it's accurate (like my 1911). If a firearm won't do those three things, I either have them fixed or get rid of them. A pistol doesn't get points for doing these things, instead it gets points off if it doesn't.....Like cars without air conditioning or something.
The H&K 45C is not noticeably lighter than the 1911 gov model when loaded. 8 rounds of 45 ACP is just going to be heavy.....even without a pistol. After trying several pistols, I decided that. When you load them with 8 rounds, you need either a scale or a Democrate ballot inspector to tell the difference. Heck, what we need is lighter bullets that deliver the same effect.
The H&K USPs all feel thick to a hand that's used to a 1911. When I first bought mine, I took it to the range several times, shot a couple boxes of ammunition at plates, cleaned it and put it back in the box. I just haven't had any enthusiasm for getting it out since.
I can't say anthing against H&K USPs beyond ergonomics and I guess I'll keep it at least until Bush is inaugurated and moved into the White House but I don't enjoy shooting it much. You know what I mean.
And they are pricey for an "off the rack" pistol!
