I haven't owned a gun myself, but the USP is among my favorite guns (though, as you can tell from my name, I'm probably a bit biased). I still have to take a glock to the range for comparison, but from what I have handled (wide variety of 9mm and 45ACP's, including beretta's, rugers, and several others) the USP was the most comfortable shot. I can't wait for the P3000 to hit the market.
