P2000 or USP > H&K

Posted: 5/3/2013 2:07:25 PM EDT

Would you recommend getting a P2000 or a compact USP? Caliber doesn't matter either way. Just curious which one is better and why.

Depends what you mean by better...

I think they are equal as far as quality and reliability. Depending on what variant you get, the internals are all very similar also.

So it really comes down to the ergonomics. The USP is a more military looking design developed in 1989 while the P2000 and P2000SK are a slightly newer (2001) and sleeker design mostly developed for European law enforcement.

Magazines of the same caliber are interchangeable if they're long enough to fit in the grip.

I own several HK pistols, but no USPs, I think they feel a bit clunky.

Best thing is to see how they feel to you.

That's actually a lot of the information I'm looking for. I've handled the USP, but not the P2000. Thank you for your comments

I owned a USP .45. I've fondled USP compacts. I own a P2000 (first handgun I bought).

I have a USPc on my shopping list at some point. I found the USP was just too big for my girly hands. The P2000 fits great. As does my P30 and P30L.

YMMV.

I wound up trading for a P2000! My first Hk, but it will not be my last, the sickness has begun. I'd love to grab an Hk USP compact in 9mm, .40 cal and .45!

Welcome to the sickness.

Which caliber and variant did you get?

Yes you do.

My SK is the perfect companion for my P30.

Need a 45C to complete the trifecta.

I have the 9mm USP Compact and love it. I personally like the ability to go cocked and locked and the grip angle, the decocker is nice too.

They're very similar it really comes to to features price and availability. I kinda liked the slightly more military look of the USP better from an aesthetics point of view.

Next tone is going to be a USP45 I think. Though I really want a 1911 as my first 45... Decisions decisions....

The uspc line reminds me of the older Porsche 911's. The newer ones are more advanced but there is something about a classic.

If one was the only option it would be a uspc. But of course you need both.

USP compact

I'll be adding a USPc .40 next week when it arrives at my FFL.

I went the Arfcom way and got both!

I have a USP .45 (full size) and a P2000. I have been carrying the P2000 daily for 8 years now. It is a fantastic gun. If I could only keep one hand gun, it would be the USP hands down. By far my favorite handgun. I really want to pick up an HK45. I want to try and find an AK date code.

Why an 09 gun?

My wife's initials are AK. My USP has my dads initials. It is not nessasary, it would just be cool.

Keeping the old lady happy with the gun hobby is always a good idea.

P2000 is a great choice.

Can't complain about the USP line either of course, but the P series take comfort, ergos, good lines for easy conceal carry......to another level.

Which fits your hand well. That should be of prime importance. Both the P2000 and the USP ar excellent platforms and reliable as all get out. I like the compact 9mm USP as well as the full size. I also have USPs in 40 and .45 both compact and full size. They are all good shooters.

Have P30, HK 45c and P2000. Have had USP9 and USP9c. The USPc and the P2000 are equally accurate for me however the P2000 conceals better and is much more comfortable in my hand with the interchangable grips.

I have a P2000 and a Glock 19. I mostly carry the p2000 ..

I'm pretty sure this is a "Get Both" situation. Or get all of them. Next thing you know, you'll decide you need a Tactical, and then a USP of every caliber. And don't forget about a P30. And if you really don't like keeping money around you can pick up an HK91.

And I wonder why I don't have money.
