Just bought a HK USP Tactical in 45acp and a Glock 20 adjustible sight model in 10mm. I was worried the grips would be too big but I tested a couple out on the weekend and I think I will be able to manage them even though I have small hands. Anyone with experience with these pistols?
Broke down and bought a couple pistols I wanted for a long time

I love my G20 I picked up last year. I would consider myself to have smallish hands and have no trouble handling it. Everyone I take to the range shoots it and loves it. They all say, "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
Can't wait to add to the 10mm collection with a S/W 1006 when I have the money.

The USP is big. Just flippin' the safety with small hands might be a stretch. I didn't have a problem with it, I just felt the Glock was simpler and overall, I liked the fit in my hand a lot better. I keep reading all of these great things about the USP, everywhere, but personally, I felt the Glock is a better overall choice; now that you have both, who cares! (I only got about 100 rounds through the USP). I would add to this post that I found that the sight picture had a lot of slop or air in the sight picture but I guess you would expect that from a combat pistol. Since, I am a non-combatant, I'd try and replace those with a more accurate sight picture. The Glock right out of the box has a better set of fixed sights and frankly, for a brick, at least to me, has a more natural feel than a USP.

I have a USP compact tactical in .45ACP and it's my favorite handgun. Absolutely flawless firearm, IMNSHO.
I'm looking at a Glock by the end of summer, if for no other reason than to be able to shoot cheap 9mm, but I do love my USP and I'm confident you will too - smaller hands or not.

I've got a G20, and love it. I've got pretty big hands, though - some of my friends with smaller hands have fouind it to be a bit bulky. It's been 100% reliable so far, though I've only put maybe a thousand rounds through it...
Even with hot 10mm reloads, it's tame, as the polymer frame seems to soak up some of the recoil
Good to see another 10MM owner!!

Once you get the USP tactical I want to see a range report and lots of pictures!!!
Ya guys I will try and get a good range report after I get the pistols but getting the range up here will be a bit. Its friggin -20 out right now and still about 5 feet of snow. It will have to wait till late april at the earliest. As for buying the 10mm I wanted a pistol that took some getting used to recoil wise. I haven't shot anything more powerful than hot 40 short and weak and 45 acp. Wanted to try something with more snap so later I could maybe move up and get a good revolver in 357 or 44 mag.
My buddy picked up a USP tactical and he LOVES it!!!
He let's me shoot it, and I must say I really liked and the ergonomics. The match trigger rocks...
Let's say i am in the market for one if it comes up. But the 45 is expensive. Reloading is a good idea.
Good choice on the glock as well. Enjoy!!!
