The PX4, USP, and caliber decisions

[jds560 0]

Who has ownership experience with these two?

 

 

Having held both in 9 and 45 respectively, and liking them. It's difficult to decide what to get without shooting them. It becomes even more difficult deciding what caliber to get. I could buy both, but I'd rather use my last permit on a 38 airweight snub. I'm leaning towards the USP because of the frame mounted manual safety but other than that it's a toss up.

I'm also considering the aftermarket for these two. In all likelihood, I might be selling my G30. That's the only handgun I have that I would mod because as a collectors item it's worth nothing, especially compared to my HP and Norinco 1911 which are both OOP.

 

The alternative is to avoid polymer all together and buy a Witness Eilte match or similar all metal gun with rail not named Sig.

USP .45 feels like Excalibur in my hands.  I've fired the Beretta and it just didn't do much for me.

We have both and both feel good. But between the 2, I'd side with the USP..

Honestly it depends.  Let me get call up Roberta Mancino and get her opinion.

Have you held and fired a CZ75? The Witness Match is a great gun built on the CZ75 platform. I like the Witness Match A LOT but you should check out the original.

I just rolled over and asked her.

She said "La Beretta, naturalmente. Ora baciami." Then she went off to make breakfast.

I already have a CZ75BD Police. I never shoot it because it has a decocker in a place that annoys me and I wish I got the SAO model instead.

I have the H&K USP 45 full size & it really is an excellent gun. It is extremely accurate out to 25 yards & also, it is just as extremely reliable. It feeds everything I put through it, from 185 grain jhps or any weight of full metal jacketed rounds for basic target shooting. I have also considered getting the 40 cal full size. You cannot go wrong with the H&K USP series, but of course you will pay a good amount for them, but very well worth every dollar spend on it.
