    Two add-on videos to more thoroughly address and fairly criticize the H&K USP Compact. I always strive for complete honesty and thoroughness in my reviews. I make no apologies for my opinions and preferences based on my own shooting and tactical experience... but I always want to be fair.
    Here I pit the USP Compact .40 against a primary competitor the compact Glock 23. Both guns are chambered for .40 S&W caliber and are considered compact versions of their larger siblings. Here I address each of my standard gun review categories: weight, firepower, durability, reliability, accuracy, ergonomics, simplicity, accessories, price, and track record. Advantage
    Glock: weight, firepower, ergonomics (mag release considered), accessories, price, and reliability (H&K mag floorplates have issues).
    Advantage H&K: better grip (however easily fixed on the Glock), second strike capability, and possibly better grip angle.
    Tie: durability, accuracy, and track record... both excellent.
    When the tally is over, the Glock 23 does indeed. Does this mean the USP is a loser pistol. Definitely not. It's still a very accurate, tough, reliable pistol. But objectively speaking, it does lose out to the Glock 23 when the order of the day is to go "compact."

    Also add: the Glock 23 is actually much more compact than the USP Compact, both in heigth, length, and width (slightly, considering slide and slide release lever). Another advantage to Glock.
