[fivefivesix]

hey fellas need some help. im trading my glock 21 for a 9mm and was offered a HK USP 9mm full size variant 7 with the LEM trigger?.
i know its dao. is that a decent pistol? i know hk is supposed to be the shit. its a variant 7 with the lem

The USP is blocky and the ergonomics leave much to be desired. If possible, try before you buy. USP's are not exactly renowned for stellar trigger pulls...

HK USP is known for reliability and durability. If you've already seen the pistol, and you like it, and its LEM trigger, then there's no reason to advise you against the trade. If it were me, I'd be looking at Glock 19 or M&P 9 FS.

ive decided against the usp. i found a guyand were trading. he has a g17 with a 34 slide that goes with it,and has trijicon night sights.

That is a much better trade IMO.

Good choice. I had a USP9 and it is a fine pistol. But it is enormous for what it is (a 15 round 9mm). It was too big for my hands, and I could never get used to the long trigger pull. Ended up selling it to buy a Glock, and have no regrets about "downgrading".

Well, I'll just throw this out there, but I have a 9mm USPf and a Glock 19. I carry the Glock because of its size, but I prefer shooting the USP. It is on my hip when I am not carrying concealed.
edit: I'm not a big dude either. I never really understood the blocky grip argument; handles well for me.

The HK is a nice pistol but it sounds like you found a much better deal, and if you were already comfortable with the G21 then the transition should be easy for you. You already know how to shoot and maintain the Glock and now you have the caliber you want with night sights and an extra slide. Unless you had a real problem with the Glock ergonomics I think you've made a wise decision. Good luck.

Personally Id recommend passing on the USP. If you want HK the p30 is a much better solution.

If you arent stuck on HK, Id suggest a glock or an M&P.

Don't do it. I traded a Glock 23 for a USP40 and regretted it as soon as I shot it. I'd tried a USP several years ago and thought I remembered it being pretty good. Not so. If the USP didn't have HK's name on it then nobody would give it a second look. It's big, fat, has bad control placement, terrible trigger, and weirdly snappy recoil The Glock was much better in pretty much every category.
