| So I am really interested in two pistols: one is a Kimber TLE/RL (stainless) and the other is a HK USP tactical. Both are chambered in .45ACP. This would also happen to be my first pistol. |
You never asked a question.
Assuming you want advice on which one to choose, what is the gun going to be used for? Home protection? CCW? Range gun? If I had to choose between them I would take the H&K over the Kimber. Reliability and firepower being the foremost reasons. |
| I haven't owned a Kimber but my Father-in-law does, was his first pistol. Seems to be picky about mags and he says it's difficult to take-down.(don't know?). I would think the HK would be a better first pistol. Would also check out Glock, XD and M&P, latter two available w/ thumb safety if you like. |

22. Revolver or semi, your choice. Work on site picture, trigger squeeze, breath control, safe handling. Then move up. I second the realistic but not macho enough opinion. I'll give a third on this. +4. .22 or 9mm for first gun. Practice practice practice. |
