Little Mistakes You Notice.

A compact .40 doesn't sound fun, shooting and cost wise, and are you saying it's good or bad that it took 2 tries to rack the slide?

2 tries is a bad thing and I think their is a similiar gun to the .40 but in .45 or 9mm. I see them all the time at gun shows because alot of people are trying to get money to buy stuff like USPs and SIGs

I dont understand the usp fascination, the magazine release is on the trigger guard for some reason.

It's sort of a status symbol. People genreally realize their mistake and buy a SIG, so there are tons and tons of them around

"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).

If the USP was priced based on performance, it only be worth about $400

No, my hands are massive and it's still inconvenient

USPs perform great ( i know a cop whos usp 45 has ate 6000 rounds with no malfunction) but the ergos are poor for me.

It's not worth $800, I'll give you that...

Smithy, remember what I told you a long time ago about solipsism?

It's not, at least in my case. I fired two rounds out of my uncle's Kahr .40 before I realized that bigger is better when it comes to calibers like that.

polymer or steel kahr? i heard the steel is a nice shooter but polymer is for the "light is good" crowd.
