[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1863870, member: 2989"] I just got an HK USP 40c in a trade. Can't wait to take it out to the range. I had a choice between it or a Sig p220. If I was only concerned about trading "up" for value with another trade in mind later down the road, I probably would have taken the Sig (higher trade value.) However, I never owned an HK and thought this would be a good opportunity. I've always passed HK's off as overrated, overpriced, bulky, and generally not a fan of DA/SA guns. With that said, after an evening of dry firing and doing dry drills, I'm really warming up to it. Even dry firing, the double action is very manageable and I'm able to draw, aim and pull the trigger without jerking. The same could not be said with something like a Beretta 92fs. I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with that gun, rofl. The single action is light and crisp, although the trigger does seem to "flex" so it's not as crisp and nice as a Sig single action trigger. However, being able to carry it cocked and locked like a 1911 scores huuuge points with me. The mag release doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would have. I think the single action trigger reset could be a lot better. It's a bit farther than I would like it. I think the trigger reset on Sigs are better. I am a bit of a reset snob though. I like short resets that can be felt and audibly heard, as well. It's my biggest gripe with XD's, XDm's (trigger reset is miles long) and M&P's (mushy break, reset is virtually invisible and hard to feel or hear). Walther PPQ's probably have the best resets for combat polymer pistols and one of the best for handguns in general besides tuned 1911's. Overall, I think I'm really going to like this. I may have to eat my words about HK's hehehe. I'm a die hard Glock guy when it comes to polymer guns. A bit of range time will tell if my gut feelings are correct about this gun... but this may shockingly end up being a keeper for me. Now if only the stupid rail wasn't proprietary... [/QUOTE]
