[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2206040, member: 2989"] Rugged and reliable pistols, expensive and hard to find/replace parts. If you're a DA/SA guy or 1911 guy, then you'd like the HK's. There're one of the few high capacity polymer "battle pistols" that you can keep cocked and lock and know it will always go bang when you need it. The LEM trigger is HK's attempt at making a hammered gun operate similarly to a striker fired pistol, in that every trigger has the same pull. When cocked, it has about a 2 pound slack right up until a breakpoint. Then it's about 5 pounds for the trigger to break. If you're a M&P or Glock guy, you would probably like LEM trigger better over the DA/SA versions. You can find used USP and USP Compacts for around new and used Glock prices. I don't recommend buying an USP new unless you want to pay about $400 more. You'd be better off buying the newer P30's at those prices. I was a huge HK hater and never cared much for them. I always thought they were kind of ugly and overpriced. The P30's were the first guns that made me like HK's, but that's only because they're so similar in feel to the Walther PPQ's. I've forced myself to carry an USP Compact for the last 6 months while in Seattle and now have warmed up to even the USP's. With that said, I will always be a Glock / XD / M&P guy and resale value aside, would take a Walther PPQ M2 over an HK P30 anyday. [/QUOTE]
