Personally, I prefer SIGs, but I will never knock H&K, I own too many. I do believe the H&Ks will last longer, but for me, a SIG is the only one I will carry. Creature of habit I guess.

They're both great guns. One thing I like about the USP (and the later model Glocks have this too) is the second really-stiff recoil spring that basically only kicks in after the spent case is ejected. It's ingenious. That way, you can fire a wide variety of ammo in terms of power, and it will still extract flawlessly. E.G., if you fire a weak round, the second spring never kicks in, but you still eject the case (whereas if you has a single stiff spring to handle heavy loads, it wouldn't fully cycle with the stronger loads); and, if you fire a stronger round, the second spring kicks in after the round ejects preventing the slide from punishing the receiver (and your hand) (whereas if you has a single light spring to handle weak loads, the slide would smash up against the receiver causing excessive wear and recoil when using more powerful loads). I think the USP was the first to do this in mass production anyway. The Glock I bought in 1992 didn't have this, but my 2002 Glock 27 does.
