I took the G21SF, USP, and 1911 out shooting this morning. G21 destroyed them both.
Last time we shot a handful of pistols, was HK USP 45, Kimber 1911, older (1989?) FN HiPower 9mm, Glock .45, Beretta M9 (model 92), and a few others.
For me:
HiPower, as always, is the most repeatable, consistent, comfortable pistol I've ever shot. Natural Point of Aim - this pistol defines it.
Kimber 1911 (very customized), was the most accurate - out to 85-100 yards, even. Took more effort to get a consistent grip than the HP though.
Beretta M9. Feels like it's exactly in between the HP and 1911 in all respects. accuracy, repeatability, overall feel are all like it's the middle ground between a 1911 and HP
HK USP .45 - 30 yards, 30 rounds, 2 magazine changes, 20-22 seconds , all onto a 6" diameter steel target. Thumb-over-thumb, both eyes open, sights in line with dominant (right) eye. firing 230gr 925fps HP rounds, not panzy-puff underloaded 'match' ammo. Trigger pull better than Glock or M9, even with HP, a touch worse than the custom 1911.
Glock .45 - grip feels like a brick in your hands, non repeatable reflexive point-of-aim, crappy trigger pull, no hammer - no SA option, no rail for a laser/flashlight. (Note: older Glock .45, not the new SF with the built-in 1913 rail)
Some people love their Glocks. Personally, I think they're a case study in why chemical engineers shouldn't design firearms.
If it works for you, great. I wouldn't own a Glock if it was given to me - Sell it to feed my HK with ammo.
