Several years back I was in search for a carry piece. Came down to the Glock 23, XD40, or the HK USPc 40. I had to shoot all three before I'd buy. It had to fit my hand, managabe recoil, and reasonably accurate. The Glock stung in my hand, the XD was ho-hum, and the HK Rocked. I guess if you like a Ford Tarnus you would be OK, I preferred the BMW of pistolstbready said:Anyone had the chance to shoot one of these yet? I am very interested in one but would like some hands on info before buying, if the Glock is better, i will go that route.
:? Ten Rounder probably wears visiting team colors to a home game. :lol: BMW's and Taurus' huh? You know that'll start some comments don't you? Besides Taurus is one of the most successful model lines for Ford, so that means you hold the XD in high esteem, right? So you're ranking the XD higher, I get it now.Ten Rounder said:Several years back I was in search for a carry piece. Came down to the Glock 23, XD40, or the HK USPc 40.

These are how you choose a pistol.

HK makes a good product, but "to me" the USP didn't fit me. I handled it fine but the shoe didn't fit. Now I feel HK's newer P30 and HK45's are much better pistols ergonomically and I want to shoot them before my next handgun purchase.

Now this comes full circle to your comment of "fit my hand, manageable recoil, and reasonably accurate" which is a very good summary, except I would add "reliability" as one of the main attributes to consider as well.
