Seeker,

I once managed the Old Sacramento Armoury.

My advice to you is to go to an indoor range that allows you to rent guns. Rent one of the models you are thinking about and shoot at least 25 rounds through it... then, on another day, rent another model and do the same. Find the one YOU find most fits your hand, that you can control best, and that you like best.

That is the best advice I can give... everyone can say they like a particular weapon or caliber... but THEY are not YOU. Their hands are not the same size as you, their levels of skill are not yours.

It has been my experience that if you do this, eventually one model will become obvious to you as THE BEST gun for you.

"My advice to you is to go to an indoor range that allows you to rent guns...That is the best advice I can give."

And that is the best advice you will receive.

(Then buy the one you think is "cooler" since whichever one appeals most to you emotionally will be the one with which you practice and enjoy most. Buy the HK!)

And the HK USP compact 45 is not at all uncomfortable to shoot for most people. Also, consider the USP 40 LEM if you want a consistent light double action trigger pull like cops prefer.
