I am a die hard USP fan. I love the line of pistols, they are great, my primary carry is a USP .40 and I desperately want an Expert.
That being said, I *do not* recommend the compacts. They are just too big and bulky, they are more like Mid Sized than Compact.
As much as I don't like Glock, I would recommend the Glock 30 before the USP 45C, and if you are going to have only 10 rounds, you might as well have the biggest bullets possible, right? Or get the new single stack Glock .45 subcompact, whatever it is.
Now, that being said, if you are a die hard .40 fan, then stay away from the G27. Yeah, kB's aren't that common, and they only happen with factory screwups/ lead reloads, but you know what? I'd rather not have to worry about that at all. Yes, USP's have kB'ed as well, but they *are* tougher, no doubt about it.
The problem is, they are bigger!!!!
It's up to you. If size is your big thing, and you are looking for your best concealment option, you are better off with the Glock. If you prefer a bit more safety in the .40 range and like having an actual hammer, safety and decocker, get the USP Compact. Both are reliable, well engineered, etc.
