my vote is hands down for the Sig Sauer. if you need something lighter/polymer frame, go with the Sig Pro.
one thing im suprised no one has mentioned about the HK usp is the fact it has some pretty disgusting trigger creep that the sig does not....

I have never fired a H & K, but I have fired the Sig P226 and I'll share what I know. The Sig was remarkably accurate and easy to fire. The creep on the trigger was very light (a definate plus in my book). The sights were easy to align and overall the gun was easy to hold and well balanced. Personally, I liked the decocker lever and the design of the handgun. However I noticed that several of the other people I was with that were firing the P226 would sometimes have trouble with the weapon jamming. They were conducting a reloading drill where they would shoot one magazine and then have to quickly change and continue shooting the moving targets. Some would change magazines before they were completely empty (so the slide was closed as there was still a bullet in the chamber). In several of these situations (hen the action or slide was closed) and the magazine was changed, it had to be slammed in to ensure that magazine was locked all the way into the magazine well or else the bullets did not feed correctly and continued to jam. The weapon performed fine when the slide was locked to the rear and a new magazine was inserted, it was only when the slide was closed a new magainze was inserted. This was the only negative I noticed about the weapon.

Ironman; What is happening with the Sig 226 and it's double stacked magazine, loaded to capacity, is the top round is pressing against the center rail of the closed slide. The magazine spring is already fully compressed, which causes the individual to pound the bottom of the slide into place, increasing the pressure on the center rail of the slide and the magazine spring. This is not the correct method of loading some higher capacity magazines. I suggest that that one round be left out if loading from a closed slide on this particular magazine. I'm very fond of the Sig Sauers, have been for many years.

Hey DA; Same things happens with those eight round magazines for the 1911, same thing with the seven rounders on the Officer's.

Well, Bnoll, if you haven't bought yet, my suggestion is to find either somebody that owns the guns you're thinking about and seeing if you can fire some rounds though them. Or try and find a range that rents these guns.
Everybody has their favorites (obviously by my screenname I do too), but the SIG, HK and Browning are all great weapons, you can't go wrong with either of them. No matter what anybody else says about what they like or dislike about a specific gun, you won't know what you like or dislike until you fire them. ie., I always wanted a Browning Hi-Power Practical 9mm, that is until I fired it. The meat/fat between my thumb and index finger on my shooting hand was getting scraped up by the hammer upon recoil. As beautiful as the gun was made and as natural the grip was for me, I couldn't buy the gun.
Shoot them and make your own decisions.
