I know this forum is for glockers but I have the chance to trade my Gen3 G19 for a HK USP compact 9. Does anyone carry one and whats your take on HK Usp for ccw? I have Carried my glock for years now and need a change. Thanks for all feedback and suggestions. The HK is used but at 80-90%.

What version of the USPc? I carried a full size USP 9 in V1 (SA/DA with safety) for quite a while, but eventually switched to a Glock 32 and H&K P7. I wish I had the USP back, though.

I carry a USP.40c every day. I like mine a lot and if I could trade a G19 for a USP 9mm I would in a heartbeat.

I have both and the usp is the same size of the Glock but slightly slimmer with a better grip angle. I carry either one in a comp tac holster. The only down side is you lose 2 rounds

I carried a USPc 9 and a USPc 45 for a while. Good guns. The 45 grip is longer (back to front).

I have a USPc 9mm and i like it a lot, but actually prefer the glock for IWB carry due to lack of protuberances (controls) and i like the Glock grip angle better.

I have not owned but i have shot a USP C in 9mm I liked it much better than my Glock 23...better ergonomics/grip angle on the HK by far.

I'm carring a USPc in .40 now, is one of the guns in my rotation

USPc is great but it is like 5 oz heavier than a G19 and holds two less rounds. Just something to be aware of if you consider weight when deciding what to carry (I know I do).

Here's a good comparison of a G23 with a USPc:

Here you go: This quiz will help you decide if you really want an H&K

1. Do I want a hammer fired carry pistol?

NO - get a Glock, XD, S&W M&P, Walther

YES - go to next question

2. Do I want an all metal hammer fired pistol?

ALL METAL - get a 1911, SIG, Beretta, CZ, 3rd GEN Smith

NO, I WANT POLYMER - Congrats! You want an H&K

Decide on model and whether you want the DA/SA, SA, or LEM trigger system. A bit tongue in cheek, but true.

The USPc carries about the same as a G19. Perhaps just a little easier. Especially if you are running LEM with no control lever. If you can routinely carry a G19 size pistol you will have no problem physically carrying the USPc. You will just have to decide if you like the type of trigger actions available to you. I like LEM.

If you can swing it, I suggest you purchase the H&K and keep your Glock. if it turns out you don't like the H&K after all, you still have your G19 and keep the USPc for range use or sell it or trade it out.

I make that trade every time! Really like my USP 45C (v1) because it is comfortable to carry, reliable and accurate.

The G19 and the USPc9 are my 2 pistols for ccw. Love them both.
