Go with the 19 the hk is bigger and comes in different variants which might stand inthe way of simplicty offered by the glock + its easier to find parts as well as mags for the 19.I'm currently on the fence about purchasing either a Glock 19 or a HK USP 9mm. Which gun should I go for?
The HK is wider. That's the only "bigger".Go with the 19 the hk is bigger and comes in different variants which might stand inthe way of simplicty offered by the glock + its easier to find parts as well as mags for the 19.
Agreed.. Go with the Glock 19.Go with the 19 the hk is bigger and comes in different variants which might stand inthe way of simplicty offered by the glock + its easier to find parts as well as mags for the 19.
Actually the USP was built around the .40, then upsized to the 45acp in 92 for US socom operations.kbd512 said:The USP was designed for .45 ACP cartridges.
My mistake, I knew the USP was designed around a cartridge that started with a "4". In any event, it's still larger than a Glock 19 in every dimension except slide width, weighs almost as much unloaded as a fully loaded Glock, and holds the same number of rounds.Actually the USP was built around the .40, then upsized to the 45acp in 92 for US socom operations.
No prob, didn't mean to seem like a knit pick. Usp's in 40-45 fit the platform, as for the 9mm usp I wouldn't Edc one, but then again I wouldnt (if I had another,, larger option ) EDC a. 9mm,,,, but that's a whole other thread in itself....kbd512 said:My mistake, I knew the USP was designed around a cartridge that started with a "4".

It really depends on what you do with it. Are you going to reload for it at any time? Are you going to use hard cast bullets or any non jacketed bullets? If you do any of this with a glock you will blow it up after some time. Unless you buy an aftermarket barrel. (I just learned this. So I wonted to use it.

I wouldn't know about their CS, as I ve NEVER had a single issue that would need cs,, seems like the glock boys must be on the phone quite a bit because I've heard this point trying to be made several times,,,, hmmm.......Polygon said:For the simple fact that HK's customer service is some of he worst in the industry and Glock's is quite good, for no other reason I would suggest the Glock.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that was an odd claim.I wouldn't know about their CS, as I ve NEVER had a single issue that would need cs,, seems like the glock boys must be on the phone quite a bit because I've heard this point trying to be made several times,,,, hmmm.......
Could that be there are possibly far more Glocks in circulation than HKs??I wouldn't know about their CS, as I ve NEVER had a single issue that would need cs,, seems like the glock boys must be on the phone quite a bit because I've heard this point trying to be made several times,,,, hmmm.......
