Which would you pick up? A Sig Sauer or a Heckler & Koch?

Depends on which model and for what use. For carry, I'd prefer the USP because it's lighter. For a heavier carry gun, I'd prefer the P7M13, but it is not a good range gun because it gets too hot after 50 rounds.

Only you can answer that! You have to shoot them both and decide which fits YOU. They are both fine pistols.
I chose the HK, you might like the Sig. Regards Shoney

H&K hands down. I have no doubt that the Sigs are of equal--or even greater--quality, but their single mode of use (DA/SA, no safety ever) is my least favorite. But if you really love it, well, you could use your H&K that way too. You can do pretty much whatever you want.

It depends on whether or not you're talking about old school HK (P9S and P7) or new school HK (USP). If it's old school, then definitely HK. If it's new school, I would choose SIG.

HK w/o a doubt. Have been happy w/ all the HK's I've shot or owned. I've owned one Sig in the past, but I've shot a few. I've only been impressed by one, a W. German P226 9mm. Now, that's a sweet pistol. But for the most part, HK's do it for ME.

Sig vs. H&K?
By far and away, SIG.
A closer race would be H&K vs. Glock. And it's the GLOCK, by the length of one chicken sandwhich. Best Wishes, Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member |

Which is more expensive, a Sig Sauer P226 or H&K USP?

HK is more expensive, and more ugly.

I prefer real HK's (P7/P9) over SIGs, but I like SIGs better than HK Lite (USP).

I've got both HKs (P7, USPc) and a SIG (239 9mm), and they are both great manufacturers. I think it comes down to application.
In a combat situation, where I was going to beat the heck out of the gun, both would do quite well, but the finish on the HK is more durable than the SIG. Trigger is FAR better on the SIG. Both are extremely accurate. HK (USP) allows C&L HK P7 is probably the fastest gun on the planet to get into action during reloads SIG ergonomics are excellent Takedown and maintenance on both is a breeze. Soooooo, take your pick of which one fits your hands better, and shoot with confidence. |

I couldn't decide so I own both.
I think if I had to choose just 1 it would be my USP40f SS because of the more durable finish, and no roll pins to back out. |

Talk about a tough question to answer! I'd have to say both, followed very closely by the glock. The Sig 210 and the Hk P7 are 2 of the best pitols there are period (right up there w/ the 1911a1 and the hi-power)! I like the Sig classics (220, 226, 228, etc.) better for their accuracy and their triggers, But I think the HK has them beat as far as their durability, finish, etc. According to my friend, they both have that "snob" appeal in the handgun world. I think he's just jealous because he's a cheapskate. Just kidding! Whichever one you choose you can't go wrong.

i voted of the H&K because i think durability and relibility is more important that accuracy. H&K guns are accurate but not as accurate as SIGs are.
But the only SIGs i like are the P210 any SIG sport with a steel frame.

close call, but SIG. here is why.
i get more accurate groupings with my p 229. but thats just me and i'm a lousy shooter. the trigger pull is much smoother and lighter on the sigs. the HK (usp) has a longer more resistant pull. but really i like' em both! |

I don't understand how people think SIG's look better. They are UG-LEE! I think the 229 is a nasty looking gun, the P220 ain't bad though.
I think that both the USP and Glocks look better than SIG's. Then again, I am only 21 years old (22 on Saturday!), and I just got into guns less than 2 years ago. My tastes are hardly "traditional". Heck, my first gun was a Glock! I think a stainless Ed Brown Kobra looks better than any of them, though So does the 92FS.

Don't have an HK and have nothing against them. I do have a SP 2340 and love it. Its accurate and reliable and come up on target like my 1911s. The SP comes with 2 grips so you can find the grip that fits best.

I don't like HK because it comes with:
1. DA/SA + decocker 2. SA + external safety 3. Controls on both sides of the gun. Seriously, who wants that many possibilities on a self-defense gun? My vote is for SIG, which will ALWAYS fire when you pull the trigger--Assuming it's loaded and there's a round in the tube |

I chose SIG Sauer first, and second, third and fourth. I may get an HK, but not soon. With my SIG Sauers I get better quality at a lower price.

My choices
9mm - HK P7M8 wins
357 SIG - Sig P229/P239 win 40 S&W - HK USP 40 wins 45 ACP - HK 45 Expert wins So I guess HK wins overall. |

Overall it's the HK for me, although I like most SIGs as well.

Tough choice, I own both. If I had to pick one though it would be the HK. I have a USP 45F that I am able to shoot the best with out of any gun in my collection (Sig 226 9mm, Sig 225 9mm, Beretta 92FS, and of course the HK). Ergonomics are excellent on the Sig and the trigger is better as well, however I can SHOOT the HK much better. Both are very reliable, however the finish on the HK's are more durable.
