H&ks arent bad at all. The USP series arent as well-proven as the sigs, but theyre pretty good. I plan on getting very familiar with the P2000, we will see how it goes.

ya know I've though about a USP too. Anyone have a comparison view of the p220 and the usp?
The usp comes in a compact version that is only 7inches long for the .45 or 6.8 for the .40
vs the p220's 7.8 inches in both .45 and .40...

Look paintball not glocks. Why do you have trouble with glocks, you shouldn't have problems any unless you take care of it. It will go through any thing. Glocks are like the generation 4 night vision made by cyclops. H+k do make nice guns. Me I stick with my shotgun my other rifles. If I had a choice of a pistol, it would be a Kimber .45 . But those cost a pretty penny

Glocks, contrary to popular opinion, are not the perfect firearm. They are good pistols, but they have their shortcomings, and frankly there are better pistols to be bought out there IMHO. Polymer frames are nothing special anymore. And glocks will not go through anything. In fact, glocks are much more sensitive to getting junk in them then the sigs I have used. They also have issues with extraction of double feeds.

.45s are nice, as are kimbers .45s. They are not fantastic service weapons for the normal user, but they are definately a hoot to shoot. I like wilson combats too.

I'd go p220, but thats just me. Actually, if it was me, i'd buy a colt-style .45, since they are so much fun to shoot. I like the sigs and usps in 9mm, .40, and .357 sig.

You could always try a SigP245, it seems to fit you description.

Just make sure what caliber you decide on is enough to finish the job. We don't need you messing up and becoming a vegetable. You'd just be a drain on society then.

Bwahahahaha!!!

As for the Cheesegrater comment, I have a slide on grip sleeve on my Glock 17. Rubber and soft it is very comfortable. Of all the pistols I own, my Glock is my favorite.

Look into Walther Guns.....I shot about everything I could get a hold of and fell in love with the Walther P99 .40 S&W.....teh sex.


4 more damned days I hate waiting periods.

Nothing fits better in my hand to me than a Glock. My advice is to try them all and see which one is most comfortable to you.

As for Glock having extraction problems, equate that with the statement that all mags are blenders. :)

As for caliber I reccomend either 9mm or 357 sig. The 357 sig is a great performing round--but its a bit more expensive ammowise.

Just out of curiosity, do you tech glock problems? Part of the normal routine is a detailed inspection of the extractor, since glock ones are prone to deformation. Do you ever run double feed drills with a glock? With just about any other pistol you just pick up a spent shell, insert it into the breech, and gently slide a fresh round in behind it. With a glock, you need to use special plastic bullets in the breech. If you use a spent case, it will become horribly lodged in the breech. If you suffer a double feed in real life, guess which type of case will be in there. Failure to extract a cartridge after a double feed is definately an extraction problem.

I really do like glocks, but please don't pretend that they are the perfect firearms. Thats like claiming that mags are the perfect paintball guns. The trick is to recognize the shortcomings and deal with them, like 1st deadeye using a grip cover over the cheesegrater checkering. If you ignore the shortcomings, you are only hurting yourself. I like sigs a lot, but I recognize that they rust like mad with the normal finish unless you keep them well oiled.

I think a XD in .45 GAP would be the best choice ........or a USP .45 compact
