i like HKs better myself h/w, glocks are the best, lower costing, guns out there w/ a more durable finish and the mags are usually cheaper than HKs so i guess, do you want a manual safety? do you think that you would like the HK or Glock's grip angle/contour better ( i like the HKs better)? trigger--consistant pull or SA/DA (although i hate the feel of Glock triggers, its always consitant)? |
| I was just considering the same question and ended up with an HK, even if it did cost more money... For me it was grip angle, quality (even if it's just perceived) and ergonomics. I'm sure both will do you just fine. Make sure you test fire both before making up your mind! |

Get what feels best to you. The best thing is to try them both although that is not always an option I know. Having owned both, my preference is the glock for the following reasons; Faster / stronger trigger reset Lower bore axis Lack of external controls Consistent trigger pull More simplistic design and ease of parts replacement |

You really need to shoot both and decide for yourself. As a Glock and H&K owner I recommend you try and spend a little time with each before you buy. I for one love H&Ks quality but I can't hit the broad side of a barn with mine and I don't find it to be comfortable while shooting. Sure its nice and comfy standing at the gun counter but when actually shooting it I find that I'm constantly adjusting my grip. Every one is different so you are going to have to try both and decide for yourself. |
| I own USPs and Glocks in various calibers. I can't seem to shoot a USP quite as quickly or as accurately as a Glock. I think it's because the Glock's grip angle is perfect for me and it has a slightly lower bore axis. As soon as I bring up the Glock my sights are aligned on the target. This is not the case for all shooters. Many prefer the grip angle of the USP. You can't go wrong with either of these pistols but, if at all possible, put off the buying decision until you can send some rounds downrange with each of your choices. |
