If you like it than get it I believe HK is a good product and I am sure everyone will tell you, like Glock feels like I am holding a cinder block to me so I got a XD.

.45 ACP is a very good pistol round for personal defense. It's a big heavy slow round that has superior stopping power but doesn't go through as many walls as it's faster cousins.

The only drawback is the bulky cartridge makes for lower capacity mags. Some like the increased capacity of the 9mm even though you may have to shoot the perp 2 or 3 times to equal the .45.

At 6 feet in the dark the .45 is probably a better choice, especially with a laser. The ammo is easy to find and cheap enough also. I would get a DA with a decocker if possible so you can carry a round in the pipe. Having to rack the slide in a hurry is not fun.

I have a glock .40 model 23, and I love the heck out of it. However, I would not turn down a Heckler and Koch 45 for the right price, they have been around for a while and are decent wepons. Same opinions on the .40 vs .45 debate. Money talks, tho. I would not turn it down for $300-ish...

I had a H&K USP Expert .45. I loved it. My only issue was it was a competition pistol and there weren't alot of holsters out there for concealed carry. The regular USP has a ton of options as far as holsters. If your getting a good deal on it I say get it. H&K's are a great quality pistol. Very high reliability.

What is he asking? It is an excellent pistol, depending on the price it could be a heck of a deal.

HK USP in .45 ACP is an excellent pistol. A little thick for concealed carry, IMO, but it will be a reliable shooter.
