Did it ... pumped 300+ rounds into the next-door cat .... he gave me "that look" again .... report follows ... I'm sure I'll have more to offer in retrospect.
The following two in .40 S&W:
The following two in 9mm Parabellum:
The verdict ??? The jury is still out.
All pistols ... NO malfunctions of any sort ... all within very acceptable "combat" accuracy ... if I wanted bullseye, I wouldn't use any of the above ... I'd use a "tweaked" 1911.
The size differences/dimensions: almost insignificant ... soooooooooo:
The easiest to carry/conceal (in order):
H&K P2000 (DA/SA)
H&K USPc (w/LEM)
H&K P7M8 (squeeze-cocker)
Glock 19 (DAO)
... this was mostly a function of grip/magazine extension (if any) size.
The easiest to draw/present/operate:
Tie: H&K USPc and GLOCK 19
The calibers:
I didn't notice any felt recoil differences between the .40 and 9mm ammunition in these pistols ... a testament to the design of the H&K's ???
The two newer H&K's "fit" my hand better. Especially the P2000 with the selectable backstaps, a'la Walther P99 (by the way ... a VERY fine pistol).
All pistols "pointed" easily and all controls were easy to manipulate. My GLOCK 19 has a few modifications to the original slide lock and magazine release, however --- bigger.
All were easy to strip, clean.
Three-dot Trijicon night sights on all four. With the exception of the GLOCK 19, all easily operated strong hand or weak hand. The GLOCK has a right-hand only magazine release.
All grip panels comfortable and "fit" well .... for polymer pistols. The P7M8 had checkered walnut grips.
Just my (initial) $20 worth .... :icon_rast
