Can u purchase a H & K USP? Well in my opinion I would choose either a Glock or H & K P2000. I would probally choose the P2k, Sigs are great to. and you can never go wrong with a glock.
Not to sh!t on your current weapon, but the Ruger isn't even close to being in the same class as the Glock, Sig, or H&K. Oh ya, the Taurus is an absolute piece of garbage as well, no way would I carry one, especially for duty use. The best bang for your buck, in my opinion, is a Glock 22 or 23. The Sig 226 or 229 is a very nice weapon, a little on the pricey side though if that's a factor. Last but not least, the H&K's (USP, USP Comp, ect) are also quality firearms.Dan H @ 30 Sep 2004 11:24 said:I found out I'm going to need to do some shopping soon as I'm not able to carry a .45 with my future employement. I was going to be plenty happy with my Ruger P90 and planned on getting the new P345 at a later date. Now I pretty much have to look for a .40. All that I can think to consider are Glock 22, Sig 226 rail, H&K USP, Taurus 24/7, SW99/P99, or maybe a Ruger in .40.
Well dan u are talking about 2 different calibers .40 vs .45 . Go with what u feel comfortable with. As far as the capacity thing, i feel that ammo is like sex u can always use more than u got and when u want it most it isn't there. of course my point of view is based on mostly my experiences in the military I don't know what experiences u have being shot at but when the lead starts flying u will resort back to your lowest level of training- get proficient and be comfortable of course this doesn't matter if your first round missed and the casing is stove piped. Most shootings take place within 21 feet so your first round might be your only round. 46 rnds of .40 S&W is fine. Killjoy summed it up good. Just be sure about your purchase when it comes down to it the last thought running through your head should be "I should have bought a glock". I could have sworn the Glock 22 had a 12 round mag?
Hey SOT what problems were the PDNYC having?
Mine does that every once and a while. Have to kinda hold the slide back with one hand, while yanking the mag out with the other.Jeep";p="44867 said:It was the Glock 17 (full size. 9mm) that had the lock-up problem. this was called a phase 3 lock-up & was first discovered by the NYPD. This never happened with Glocks of other calibers or with compact or sub-compact frames.
As it turned out, the cause of this was frames from the model 18 (select fire) being mixed up with those of the 17. Because of machining & weight differences on the slide of the select fire version, the frame rails are thicker & set into the frame slightly differently. When the slide from the 17 is mated to a frame for the 18, it cannot work properly & the lock-up occured. This was an especially difficult jam to clear.
I believe that Glock is now making the frames for the 2 models on separate lines so that this doesn't reoccur
