| So I am really interested in two pistols: one is a Kimber TLE/RL (stainless) and the other is a HK USP tactical. Both are chambered in .45ACP. This would also happen to be my first pistol. |
You never asked a question. 
Assuming you want advice on which one to choose, what is the gun going to be used for? Home protection? CCW? Range gun? If I had to choose between them I would take the H&K over the Kimber. Reliability and firepower being the foremost reasons. |
| I haven't owned a Kimber but my Father-in-law does, was his first pistol. Seems to be picky about mags and he says it's difficult to take-down.(don't know?). I would think the HK would be a better first pistol. Would also check out Glock, XD and M&P, latter two available w/ thumb safety if you like. |
if you haven't done so already. From the look at prices it appears they are both pretty close in price

22. Revolver or semi, your choice. Work on site picture, trigger squeeze, breath control, safe handling. Then move up. I second the realistic but not macho enough opinion. I'll give a third on this. +4. .22 or 9mm for first gun. Practice practice practice. |
