I'd pick the M&P over the USP because it is smaller and more ergonomic, but I bought the HK45 instead of the M&P. I really liked shooting the M&P, and its size feels almost like a compact. However, my HK45 is more accurate, has a better trigger (SA, of course), and fits my hand even better. I had a FTF within the first 200 rounds of shooting the M&P, but that round also choked a 1911 we were shooting. My HK45 has been flawless in over 2,600 rounds-many of them reloads. The lower bore axis of the M&P didn't translate into any perceivable difference in my double taps compared to the HK45, but the M&P was noticably less accurate during slow fire. Overall, I think the M&P and HK45 are in a league of their own compared to the competition, and either one would be a great choice.
Please compare H&K USP / S&W M&P

I have had a USP .40F for 9 years. Has been a very reliable weapon throughout that time and is my main carry as an LEO. I have some trigger time with the M&P as well. The M&P is easy to shoot well but I can't say I've had enough to qualify any statement for (or against) their reliability. They are probably pretty good but I got turned off from S&W auto's when I stupidly purchased a sigma along time ago...
...not the best of experiences. Had to send it back after less than 200 rounds....The HK I trust my life to...no small thing for me, it has proven itself to me time and time again.
Personally, I would buy the HK45 over the USP. Why buy the 90's design when there is a modern improvement of the same proven platform?
