I got a chance to operate a USP and a SigPro both in .40s&w on Sunday. I put fifty rounds through each. Not much, but enough to get a feel.

The USP was a POS rental gun and something about the mag release gave me a lot of trouble. I think that's what it was, as every string of fire I managed to loose the magazine, until I figured out how to use my right hand to hold the magazine in. The mag release is a little unique in that it is a lever instead of a button. I'm not sure if I was dropping the mag or the thing was in dire need of a cleaning and tuning and would just fall out? I really liked the safety/decocker, and am extremely fond of being able to keep the weapon cocked yet still on safe. The trigger was fluid with moderate slack, and a nice easy pull. Sights were accurate and groups were tight. About 2 inches at 25 feet excluding my regular jerked strays (about one per mag).

Very nice weapon indeed. Confirmed. H&K does NOT make junk.

The SigPro was similar in accuracy, and quality, and I actually like the trigger a little better. The slack was huge, at least an inch of pull, and distinctive pull weight difference was very discernable as the trigger approached discharge. It took some getting used to but I was able to get her dialed in. Plus this weapon has been meticulously cared for. It was definately no Alloy framed Sig, but it was definately a fine shooting weapon.

I'll see if I can get a picture of my 10 foot doping string and my 25 foot strings. I put all three (I had my Sigma on site as well) weapons on one target at both distances for comparison.

over,
