I'm 20 years old. I'll be turning 21 in a few months, and the first thing I'm going to do is get a Conceal-Carry permit. I've shot a wide variety of different makes of handguns. I grew up in a Sig household, but I've got my heart set on a USP. I've talked to a few ex-soldier friends of mine, and they all swear on the USP45. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on one yet. There's a few gun shows coming up that I plan on going to, to at least hold one and check it out. There aren't a whole lot of places in North Carolina (in my area, anyways) that I could find one to tinker with. I'm a fairly large guy. 6'0", 195 lbs. I've got a big hands as well, so most compact handguns aren't comfortable for me. I don't like for my pinky to sit under the magazine, so I'm considering a full-size .45. I feel like I'm big enough and wear big enough clothes to carry one, and I like the comfort of carrying 12+1.
Any info from people who carry a full-size USP45 would be great. I know a lot of people don't like to carry them because they're "too extreme", being combat-handguns. But I'd feel better having something like that, personally. What do you guys think?
