Well, my USP was sent to my father by H&K before they started selling 
them in this country for him to evaluate it (the serial number is below 
200!), and he's shot it a bunch during the evaluation period, and 
afterward they let him (and I assume all the other evaluators) for 
something like $225 or so. I've only shot maybe 200 rounds or so thru 
it, but I would say that it's built every bit a well as a Glock, nicer 
in many ways too. Although I must admit, as a pre-production model mine 
may have been made nicer than the stock USP Compacts, and might not 
have any improvements they might have made to them after the 
evaluation, and before actual shipping of the model.

Oh, I agree with you 100%, although I did say that I moved OUT of So 
FL. (and about the only way I'll return there is if my folks give me 
their house, not very likely)
