    HK USP 9mm vs P30 9mm, both w thumb safety

    I've handled, but not shot both. Subjective non-shooting examination proved pretty agnostic as to which feels better in the had to me.

    Thoughts on the two pistols? Which is preferred and why, or is just a matter of what feels good to my hand?

    Thanks

    Steve, my experience is the P30 feels better than almost any pistol in your hand, but the straight sided USP shoots better. Plus, the best HK hammer trigger available, the hybrid match LEM is exclusive to the USP. I would ditch the thumb safety, go hybrid LEM, put the finger ledge OEM base plates on your magazines, either Dawson or HD sights, and shoot the crap out of it.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    There is a 250rd (new in May) USP 9 with Trijicon HD's + eight 15 round magazines for sale on M4C for $850. Just FYI.

    If your mounting a white light; they have different frames. You are limited on the USP compared to the P30

    Doesn't G&G or somebody, make a picatinny (spelling?) rail adapter for the USP?
