My next gun purchase?

*********
I'm looking in to getting a new .45 ACP and I've narrowed my decisiondown to 3, but cant decide where to go from here. 1. HK USP Tac 2. Sig P220 or 3. a Kimber Warrior

I just got a Mark 23 a few weeks ago, keeping that in mind, I just spent a lot of money so a P220 seems like the least expensive of the 3 choices. However I do own a P226 and don't have a 1911 yet so the Kimber sounds good, but when HK comes out with the new HK45 rumor has it that they will be slowing/stopping production of the USP's so now might be the time to get a USP Tac since who knows when the next time I will buy another gun will be. (My wife isn't thrilled with my hobby). Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Dude, you have a Mk23? No point whatsoever of getting a USP Tac. You have a SIG already... get the 1911 :)

I've had a SIG 226, shot a few 220s, love em.

My favorite polymer frame pistols are HK USP 45s.

That being said, I own a Kimber Warrior, and it's a thing of beauty. If you can afford it, get it.

If not, get the HK.

If you can't afford either, get the P220.

Well sense you are asking, I really could use another Kimber if you're buying :D

I own a P226 and absolutely love it with my life. I love all SIGs actually. But, having recently shot an H&K USP Compact... I was fairly impressed. The Kimber Warrior is a nice gun too so you can't go wrong with any of those three. If you have a MK23, I wouldn't recommend you buy the other H&K. For a .45, go with the Kimber Warrior, you won't be disappointed (and for that price, I'd hope not).

HK tactical, my favorite pistol by far. Then get one of these:

Incredible noise suppression and the most accurate suppressed pistol I have ever seen. Sell the mk23 unless you want to have it around for collection sakes. Kevin Brittingham at AAC said that some of the SEAL teams have actually replaced their MK23's with tacticals.
