"Status symbol" and media exposure aside, they're excellent guns. They're just over-priced.

When I asked about this on the HKPRO board (because I don't like that style mag release, either), the answer I got from several USP owners is that if you have
really big hands or long fingers, it's actually more convenient to be able to tap a mag release on the trigger guard than pull your finger all the way back to a button on the grip. But one of the guys who said this to me was some instructor who teaches fast reload techniques where .001-second differences apparently matter. It's not like I care, because those kinds of reloads are not something I feel a need to learn (even though it looks cool).
