New member here. I have done searches and read as much as I can on this forum and others reguarding these two HK models. (P2000/USPC) I have also looked at HKPro.com. This will be my first handgun purchase and will be used exclusively for CC. Though I have never owned my own handgun I do have some extensive exposure to handguns as I was in the military, and was also a civilian PO. My question is why does the USP seem to be favored so much over the P2000 in so many of these polls. I have narrowed my purchase to one of these two models. I have handled both guns quite a bit and they both fit well and feel very comfortable in hand. Does one have an advantage over the other as far as reliabilty, durability, function. I know they are both quality guns. This will be a one time purchase for me and I am agonizing over which one. It will be in .40 cal. Sorry for the long post. I did consider the P2000SK. I shot one and did not like the short grip. I am aware of the longer mag, and X-grip. Any and all opinions are appretiated.
