Little Mistakes You Notice.

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.

My father's friend has 2 USP's (.45 for him and 9 for his wife) and they jammed like crazy no matter what we did

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

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

[k9870]

Theres a reason most companies put the mag release in the right spot, heel mounted or trigger guard releases suck. I have to put heel mounted as the worst, seeing you actually have to change your grip to acticvate it.

Don't call me Smithy. Ever.


I'm was not being solipsistic, I was just saying, in response to what you said about the USP being more convenient to if you have large hands, that the USP is somewhat difficult to use no matter how large your hands are by giving the example of how despite my hands' large size the USP is not easy to use

That is a perfect example of solipsism though...
