ONE gun does rule supreme!

Which ONE?

The ONE you have with you when you need ONE.

I have only sold/traded 2 guns........and I wish I still had both of them. Not that I regret letting them go...I just wish I could have them back (if that makes sense)

Hi-Point 9mm carbine for bills
Ruger P345 for my XD .45 service

More proof that XD's and USP's play well together....

mine has sentimental value as it's the first semi-auto purchase and it carried me through the ccw course.

After doing some research it seems like you can't lose with either weapon. The question is, is the HK45 worth the extra $150? It fits me like a glove when I hold it, I'd almost say it's the most comfortable gun I've ever felt in my hands and it feels very natural to point, like the XD. I don't like the fact that it only holds 10+1, whereas the USP is 12+1 though. The rail on the HK45 is nice since I have a TLR-2, but I can easily buy an adapter for the USP. I guess I'll just have to shoot both and make a choice.

i'll be honest, every gun show in town, those that i go to, i pick up the 10 round factory mags when i can find them for about 20 bucks each. for some reason, the difference between 10 rds and 12 rds seems to be less of a priority than having more magazines.

if you like the usp, go for it. it looks like the usp will probably be cheaper to find now that the hk45's have become the "in thing" so to speak. on a side note, i understand that hk is going to open a factory here in the u.s. if that is true, the german made hk's will possibly become more desirable, but who knows.

back on topic, has the O.P. replaced the xd yet?

and yes, the xd and hk surely look good together!

I do think my full size USP would look nice with that little XD Subcompact that I’ve always wanted… hmmm. Unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to hold off on another XD purchase for a while… and by while, I mean 3-4 years! The HK purchase was sort of a going away gift to myself. I’m starting Law School so the gun funds are going to be severely depleted for the next few years; lots of school loans.

Then again… my cousin said he would always be willing to sell me back my XD for reasonable price. I guess I could always take out more school loans right!? LOL
