Definitely the Wilson. High quality, tighter tolerances and accurate!

It depends on the price. If the Wilson is a true steal I would get that for resale purposes. If the Wilson is $1900 and the USP is $600 I would take the USP. Both are excellent guns. Even if the Wilson is picky they will fix it free of charge (last I checked). The USP is likely to be stone-cold reliable, with ergonomics like a stone-cold brick.

Wilson. Price will depend on model, age etc. Get the serial number and call up Wilson. They'll tell you when it was made, whether or not it has MIM parts, whether or not they've ever gotten it back for servicing, etc.

I don't have either, but if I was in your shoes.... Wilson would be my choice.

I believe its a SS protector series, what would be a fair price on a slightly used gun?

I seem to remember the Protector series as being a mid-range gun for them in the past, all though they definately aren't now. These days they are about the same as the CQB models cost wise. I would follow Rob's advice and contact Wilson with the serial number to get more info on the gun including what the original retail price of that model was.

I had a H&K Tactical 45 so Id get the Wilson.Im more of a fan of 1911's since Ive owned nothing but a H&K as far as 45's go and to me it's too bulky.It shot dead on but I would prefer a 1911 that shot the same.:cool: I have big hands but it could barley master the grip of th H&K and Ive shot my freinds 1911's and prefer the grip angle and thickness.
