I personally don't like the idea of "truck guns"
If someone steals your vehicle, you just armed someone who just stole your truck YMMV |

If you already have the P6 use it or if you want to invest money get a used Glock both are good choices in my opinion.
In regards to the P6 you can get the feed ramp polished and this should solve the issue with the JHP's |

I keep a P6 in my truck and never had a problem. I polished the feed ramps and shoot Gold Dots in it, runs like a top.

Look into a second hand G22 or something close, I picked up a police trade in G22 with night sights and three leo marked mags for $350 a while back.
Great truck/beater gun IMO |

Well, IMO a truck gun should be some sort of long gun, not a handgun as that should be on your side in a holster. Of the guns you listed I would go with the glock, I have a P6 that I like a lot and has been 100% reliable but reliable mags are hard to find, to me taking it out of the serious side arm catagory.

I used to travel a very large, rural territory for work in a POV, we went to company vehicles and I am much closer to home, no more need for a trunk gun for me. |

Yeah some people need a SD/Utility Pistol for their vehicle, Pistol works best sometimes and it's easy to toss in the glove box or console. When out in the boonies I like to stuff a pistol between my seat and my console. My current truck gun is a S&W Model 10 Police, it's great gun. 
It may be replaced with my G22 soon, but I have not decided. |

Anyway, OP, of the choices you've given us, I'd go with a used Glock. Why put an expensive USP in there? However, as SGB mentioned, A third generation S&W, particularly the 5906 if you want 9mm, would be a great truck gun. AIM Surplus has apparently but 1 left in stock for $329. Buds and Summit Gun Broker also occasionally have 3rd gens floating around. |

Used Glock. Inexpensive, already ugly, absurdly durable, supremely reliable and very, very rust and corrosion resistant.
And best of all, no emotional attachment. |

Glock cause they are inexpensive and everywhere and you won't cry when it gets stolen out of your vehicle or the police take it away after you defend yourself. Mags are cheap as well. The other choices are fine just more money is involved and as a guy on a budget I wouldn't cry as much losing a Glock.

Sigma or a used .38 revolver. I would not leave an expensive quality firearm in my vehicle just a reliable one. That being said test what ever you choose before you trust it.

my g20 (10mm) has been living in my truck for the better part of two years now, no worse for the wear.
i hear the little sister to the g20 the g19 is a pretty good 9mm,. also the punk that stole your ride probably has their own gun so i tend to worry about my needs more than theirs just sayin....
and long guns loaded in vehicles here in ohio will get you in deep do-do |

I bought one for my girlfriend and had Todd at Customized Creationz cut and polish the feed ramp, it feeds 124gr Gold Dots like butter. My little sister's P6 barrel should be back from CC tomorrow. I have no doubt it will feed the same. |

On the way home from the range today I dropped by a local gun store. They had 3 HK USPc 45's that were police trade-in's. Night sights (old & probably dead), and one magazine for $449. Lots of holster wear, but the one I picked out looked as if it had been shot very little. Also grabbed a second mag in like new condition for $19.95. Standard DA/SA trigger.
I'll pick it up on the 15th, clean it up and give it a try. I suppose I could have picked up a Glock for the same price...but I liked the idea of an external safety considering the pistol's intended use. |

Now I have a concealed lock box. If it's stolen as a get away car, or a joy ride then sure. If it's stolen to be stripped for parts beyond the stereo and tires, then a lockbox won't do anything but take 5 more minutes in the chop shop to open. |

SIGs of that vintage have a reputation for rusting if not kept up with. HK USP would be OK; they seem to hold up to neglect in a comparable manner to the Glock and since it's a "truck gun", the huge-ass size isn't much of an issue. I've seen a few used ones for around $400, but mags are going to be comparatively pricey. |

I agree... find some beat up old glock 9mm that you do not care about. A glock will run even if you rarely pull it out and lube it up, it will go bang every time, 9mm so you can get some 33 round big stick mags to go with it, and if something happens to it, it is only an old beater glock.
My oldest G17 lives in the console of my truck with a couple of big stick mags and an old G2 LED light. |
