Both are excellent. The USP is a stronger platform. The 226 has a certain gravitas of history.
So…get both! |

The USP, P226, and 92X are the best hammer fired guns ever made. Pick the one that fits your hand best.

The USP will be quite a bit more,money wise but a great choice.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The USP will be quite a bit more,money wise but a great choice. I wanted to dispute this but checked pricing first. There is not a universe that exists where a 9mm USP Tactical is worth their new $1600 asking price. And that’s coming from a guy who absolutely loves the USP. P226 for sure, though I like Berettas better. |

The P226 will have a better trigger and handling - arguably the better shooter. However you need to make sure you are replacing recoil springs or you will eventually crack your frame.
That being said I no long have a P226 and just keep the USP. It’s the stronger platform and makes a better suppressor host. |

USP.
I have an SD model which predates the 9T and it has been flawless... |

SigSauer P226 Taurus/Beretta 92 Browning Hi Power Glock 17 The USP looks good and is reliable, but has a spongy trigger, and are expensive because HK uses pricing to try to seem exclusive, but they're in no way better than other quality competitors. |

Sig has a better trigger, shoots better for me. The HK USP isn't a bad gun though, can carry it cocked and locked if you want. The DA pull on the HK sucks.

It’s the stronger platform and makes a better suppressor host. That was only on the German guns with the shitty breech block assembly. Everyone likes to trash on US made Sig’s but the stamped slide with two piece breech was a god awful design flaw to save money. Add in Sig’s failed “mud rails” in many of the German guns and they built a gun that wasn’t exactly the best for longevity. Quality of manufacture could be questioned by some, but the design and engineering of the US made slides is vastly superior to the German guns. There are many accounts of US made Sig’s lasting over 100k rounds. Not so common on German guns. |

I've owned them all. I like shooting the SIG best, but kept the USP9T. I still can't explain that one to myself, other than I make the nicest targets with the USP even though it feels the worst.

But I prefer the USPT to the P226 even though the USP trigger, even in "match" form, is not exactly good. |

Decocker from best to worst for me:
Sig USP Beretta The Sig seems the most natural/easiest to decock, while the USP and Beretta seem to be placed in worse spots. |

My 92 and both P226s feel great and I shoot them very well. But that chunky ass USP9 (and the 45, for that matter) just shoot so freaking well it’s not funny. I love them all. OP, you can’t go wrong, no matter what you choose. |

I have a USP 9SD with a match trigger installed, an MK25 P226 with SRT installed and threaded barrel, and a P226 ST with a threaded barrel. All have hosted my 9mm suppressor and all do it really well. The MK25 has the best trigger and I shoot it the best. The USP9SD is the precursor to the tactical and did not come from the factory with the HK match trigger like the tactical does. I fixed that as soon as I purchased it, but the trigger still blows like most HK triggers. It is probably the best host for the suppressor and has the bonus of being able to be carried cocked and locked. I shoot the MK25 all the time because it’s super fun to shoot and only take out the USP if I’m shooting with the suppressor. If my choice was to have a bad ass novelty suppressed gun I’d pick the USP. if I wanted a gun I was going to shoot all the time that could host a suppressor I’d pick the MK25.
