HK USPc .45 vs. HK45c
Would somebody please try to convince me to consider an HK45c for my next pistol.
I own a USP .45 full size and have put a couple thousand rounds through it without a SINGLE issue ever. I also own a P30L 9mm V3 and have had quite a few problems with FTEs and a whole lot of stovepipes from a variety of factory ammunition (PMC bronze, WWB, to name a couple). Has anyone else had problems with their P30s? I haven't seen anything on the forums but positive things being said about the P30s.
I want to get something a bit more compact for my next HK, and pretty much have made up my mind that I want it to be chambered in .45. That being said, my choices are really between the USPc .45 and the HK45c. I am really leaning toward the USPc because of my experiences with my USP full size. The thing has been flawless and as we all know, USPs are so damn cool. I got to check out an HK45c at the local dealer the other day, and was impressed by the trigger, much more than my P30L anyways. I also liked the slimmer profile and greater ability to conceal if carried. However, I am not impressed by the O-ring or the almost $300 price difference. I am not too partial to the grip on the HK45c either. If it was a P30 grip, I'd be sold.
Does anyone have a good reason for me to spend the extra money and get the HK45c when a USPc .45 is arguably just as nice of a pistol with a longer track record of reliability? or is it 6 of one and a half dozen of the other?
Thanks
-Also, this is my first post on this forum. My apologies if this has been discussed previously and I just couldn't find it.-
