I have owned an HK USP compact 9 mm for more than 10 years. It's a fantastic pistol, i feel comfortable with it, it's been as reliable as the sun and it's accurate.
I had my CCW in another state before I owned the HK and then once I moved I didn't bother to get a CCW again. I am now getting a CCW and I'm a little concerned about carrying the HK. It's a little bulky on me. I'm 5'7" and 160 lbs.
I'm considering selling it and getting a glock 26 instead. I handled the glock 26 (I've never shot it or any other glock) I didn't like the feel of the short grip and didn't like the ergonomics. Specifically the mag release and slide release. I don't have to shift my grip with the HK to release a mag, I do with the glock. I am spoiled by the HK large mag release that allows me to load a mag and trip the release without ever touching the slide. I also like the option of carrying cocked and locked.
What's the THR forum's wisdom? Is the extra concealment factor of the glock worth the trade offs or should I be able to carry the USP without any problems?
I'm not able to afford the glock at the moment.
