There's no difference whatsoever, until you include the Mark 23

I agree. I don't see the VP9 in the same league, not to say it isn't still a darn fine firearm.

Glad to see ya back on here stranger! LoL
Probably the MK but I don't have any experience with it so I am going to go with the USP45.
Hks are Bombproof

I own;
USP Elite 45, USP Tactical 45, USP Compact stainless 45, P2000 357, P2000SK 40, P30 40, P30SK 9mm, VP9 and HK45 Compact.
They are all bombproof :cool:
None has ever FTF, FTE or return to battery with minimum +2K rounds each down the pipe.

When you buy a Hk. You buy quality :wink:
I would expect the Mk23 is the toughest pistol anybody makes.
Hk PDW Rules the Day

I would expect the Mk23 is the toughest pistol anybody makes.
I wouldn't bet my life on the difference between any Hk guns.
But if those were the cards I was dealt? SP5K :cool:
As a new guy to HK pistols ... would that be a USP9 full size that's ranked second to a Mark23?

I mean, thinking of this as as engineer, if I had to come up with a quantitative definition of "toughness" I suppose I would define some sort of mechanical testing (mean rounds before failure, highest proof load without dimensional change beyond 0.001", plastic deformation limit in torsion/bending, etc), and I expect the larger, thicker construction of the Mk23 would post better numbers than the USP, HK45, P30, etc.

In terms of functional reliability, yeah, they all work.

I don't care about the industry creating some legal fiction in which submachinguns with the stocks cut off are "pistols" to squirm out of NFA regulation. That's not a pistol.
Mark23 (it's just a USP on steroids)
USP Full size
HK45

Regardless of what you care about, legally in the United States of America, it is a pistol.
Get over it
