The FNP45 USG is what finally made me buy a high cap .45, I almost bought a HK several times in the past.
Agree with all your points except I prefer the HK magazine release. Once you get used to using your trigger finger it is much faster. Excellent, useful post. |

Nice ive been wondering about the FNP. I have a USP but the capacity is lacking for it's size.
|
|
HK FTW.
The ONLY things the FNP45 has over the HK are capacity and price. |

Quoted: HK FTW. The ONLY things the FNP45 has over the HK are capacity and price. I disagree. Standard rail, better trigger, better magazine release, interchangeable backstraps. If HK would put these features on the USP, together with capacity and $25 15 round magazines, it would be a winner hands down. Maybe the HK45 does that, I don't know as I haven't looked into them very closely. |

Thanks for the post, but for future reference, please keep the pistol placement consistent from shot to shot. They keep changing spots (swapping from left to right).

In before the men with girly hands and weak genetics claim the USP is too big.

IMHO, the FNP's are one of the most under-rated pistols on the market right now. |
|
I own both I like both, but love the 16 rounds of 45 in the FN

Got a buddy who bought a double stack Springfield 1911. The first couple hundred rounds it was a jam-o-matic. I don't know if it ever straightened out or not. It just wouldn't feed right. Mag issues...I don't know.
I'm scared of double stacks because of that experience. I would like an HK though. Sexy pistola. |

HK makes a fine firearm, but IMO the P7 series was their high point. I'm seriously looking at a M&P. However, none of the "hi-cap" .45's I've owned have measured up to my 1911's and were sold. |

The SA double stacks and just about ALL double stack 1911's that aren't from STI/SVI are pretty much crap (their single stacks are good). |

Since HK hates me thinks I suck, my choice would be the FNP45.

I took a close look at the USP and a Sig S O A the other day. The S A O had not advantage over my 1911 at all. I saw no reason to spend such a large sum of money for a pistol that offered nothing over my current EDC pistol.
The HK USP .45 had a couple of features that I really liked and preferred greatly over my 1911. These being the mag release, double stack mags, night sights, and polymer frame. But when they brought out the $60 mags, the HK lost all of it's appeal. 10 mags = $666. That is silly. Plus, who wants to let $60 mags hit the concrete/gravel/ whatever while conducting training drills. My 1911 mags costs >$10 so I don't care if they get dinged ans scratched. |

the FN looks like a pretty decent gun. USP's fit my hands pretty well, and the FN looks pretty close to the USP.

Just a thought, but maybe FNH realizes it should be a slide stop and not a slide release?
![]() Sling-shot that baby. I handled an FNP 45 at my local shop, if I had the cash I'd definitely spring for it. Kharn |

I've never owned or shot either one. The HK is prettier, but this ain't no beauty contest.

Y'all suck. I really have better things to do than buy a USP, but you're tempting me...

HK45 vs the FN
The HK45 has alot of advantages over the older USP 45. |
|
Picking up an FNP-40 on Friday.
Looked the FNP-45 at Bass Pro over the weekend and it seems like a pretty damned nice gun. H&Ks are just too expensive for me. |

Looks like the FN has a lower bore axis as well. Can anyone confirm?
Slide releases are unimportant to me tap and rack! |
|

I hate HK and their snobby attitude, but i'd take an HK45 or HK USP over ANY handgun
1911 fanboys need to learn their weapon is almost a 100 year old design, and it has long since been surpassed. |
|
The HK45 is a nice gun but the stock Hk45 has a 10-round cap comparable to an M&P45.
|
|
I own both and like the heck outta them. Both will feed anything besides LSWC's. I'd say my USP is slightly better but it's the Tactical model and has some refinements over the base USP anyways.

FN for me.
It would live with it's older cousin, my FAL. Bill |
|
No offense to anyone who owns the FNP45 as I'm sure that like all of FN's other products they're excellent firearms, but damn if that's not an ugly pistol.
![]() I love and prefer my USP, but I would also trust a FN handgun. I just can't get past the looks on the 45, though. ![]() |

Quoted:
I refuse to buy HKs but at some point I will buy the FNP 45. +1 with the stainless slide. |
