    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?
