*HK USP vs new HK P2000

The HK P2000 is for Germans and the USP is for Americans. The P2000 has the safety going in the wrong direction. Worse than driving in London!
 
How about driving in L.A. during the summer and getting stuck on the freeway traffic with a bunch of impatient, inconsiderate drivers while its 96 degrees outside. Then you try to take a "shortcut" on some neighborhood you've never been to and getting lost and ending up in the projects where four "Vatos" with baseball bats and a lot of time to spare are sitting in the alley eyeing your four-door sedan...

...with no air conditioning.
 
I have to agree, driving in Seoul is much worse than London ... NOTHING but Hyundais and the occasional KIA there. The traffic behavior of the average Korean driver is something to behold...but I can think of a time or two when Boston was worse...

Anyhow, back on topic, the P2000 really is a Euro-gun, with the format of the safety lever and that (dead sexy for DAO) LEM style trigger. It seems like a godsend for southpaws, however, with the ambi slide release and "interesting" decocking lever on one variant I saw pictures of. HKPRO said that might mean options other than DAO. I also like the P99 style interchangeable backstrap.

Unfortunately I'm a Cooperite and if it isn't carryable cocked and locked "what's the point" :)

That's why I won't be trading my USPc for a P2000 anytime soon.

Check back with me if they ever chamber it in .45acp though...
 
I chose a USP40 for my duty gun because

I got the variant one type. It is a double-action/single-action pistol with decocker that makes the agency happy.

I can use it cocked and locked, which makes ME happy.

Without that function, it's just another plastic pistol with too big a grip, adequate trigger and finally, decent sights.
 
I have to agree about driving in Korea. My Brother-In-Law drove us around and I swore that I would never drive in that country. I would have inflicted road rage on many occasions, but my BIL kept cool and collected. I guess it depends on what you are used to experiencing on a daily basis.
