    Great advice, if you are going to concealed carry then the size may be important, my HK USP .45 was huge.
    Try them all at a range you can rent them at and go with the one that feels best and lines up with your natural point of aim.
    I like Glock for carry but I have a passion for 1911s yes I am very confused.

    Just to let you all know, CTD fleeced their customers real bad during the ammo/magazine shortage. Pissed off a lot of people. I'll likely not ever buy from them again. /Rant off.

    I traded the P220 for a Remington 700 XHR today in 270 cal. Then added a 3x9x50 ZEISS scope. Ready for some moon hunting now.

    If these are the only choices then I would recomend the HK. FN is unreliable and the beretta rotary bolt system is destined to fail!

    Hey guys I know it's been a while but I finally made my purchase today. Went with the H&K USP, had the best grip for me.

    Thanks again for all the responses.

    I have an HK USP 45 compact and love it has never jammed and very reliable. I once had a Taurus and that thing was a POS jammed all the time. If you want to have the peace of mind that it will fire when needed go HK.
