I've decided to sell my glock 19 because I don't shoot it well enough compared to my other handguns (kimber 1911, m&p shield 9mm, cz p07 9mm). So I'm trying to decide which HK pistol to get. I want a 9mm since I have plenty of ammo, I prefer DA/SA with decocker and safety (not a deal killer), and I want to be able to carry it for CCW. I preferred carrying the glock owb and could conceal it under a t-shirt or Columbia button down shirt. I will probably get a raven phantom owb for carry unless there is a better option. I've got the shield for IWB carry when it's needed so I would prefer a compact not subcompact gun. I've looked at the following (online not in a store): USP 9 compact P2000 P30 Any idea on which one of those might best suit my needs? I like the size of the g19 just can't shoot it! Thanks for the advice P30 and call it a day! |

With that being said, I am completely ignorant as to what makes the p30 better than the others (I haven't looked at price yet so I don't know which costs the most). What are the advantages of the p30 over the other choices? |

Not on your list but at least fondle and pull the trigger on the VP9. Otherwise, go P30 if you don't like striker fired guns.

If you like the size of the 19 then I would highly recommend the P2000. Imo the LEM version, but nothing wrong with DA/SA. The is no external safety option though.

My vote would be for the uspc 9mm.
But I have to ask, if you can't shoot your g19 as well, what makes you think replacing it with an 800$ pistol is going to make you shoot better? |

I have a P2000SK - if I were to do it again today I would follow the posters advice here. Two of my friends have P30's and they are very nice, accurate, and fit my hand perfectly! |

I've had a few glocks over the years and have never been accurate with any of them. I think it has to do with the grip angle since I am accurate (for me) with the other guns I have. I've found a uspc 9 for $600 used on Georgia gun trader so it will be an even swap for my g19. |

I own:
USP-9 LEM with JF Kit 
USP-45 
HK45 (converted to "T" model) 
And carry a P2000-LEM .40 as a service weapon 
So, out of those choices, go with a P30; better ergos than the UPS-C by far. |

Right now I'm on the VP9 bandwagon and really enjoy it, but with your considerations in mind, I posted P30. It's a great SA/DA battle trigger with decock safety and way more comfortable than the USP (just my personal experience). They are all great, but the ergos just do it for me on the P30. |

Very nice. Looks very clean so you did good for $600.
Really, it doesn't matter which you got, it just matters that it's an HK!

Good job and congrats OP. I agree it looks brand new so that $600 is a good deal. Which variant did you get?

Try shooting an HK 45 CT before you decide that you have to have a 9mm. It satisfies most of your other criteria, DA/SA, decocker, etc. I am very fond of mine, and I started off with nothing but Glocks.

Out of all my firearms, I love my Compact USP the best.
It's a .40 S&W though....

Im glad I checked in here! I'm in the same boat- I have a glock 19, looking to switch to either a USPc of a p2000. I grew up on da/sa but was forced to carry a glock for years...never have liked how they felt. I tried to make do, or rather improve it with a gripforce adapter, but the angle still sucks for me.
I owned a USP 9 years ago and really liked it, but I need something 19 sized... |

I took it to the range and loved it! The double action trigger pull is long but I got used to it pretty quick. I definitely shoot it better than the g19 and I'm glad I made the switch. Up next may be a p30sk!

I certainly wouldn't turn down a .40 Compact either. I need to add a .40 back to my collection since I sold my G23 four years ago and I still have a good bit of ammo and handloading components for the .40 S&W cartridge. |
