It’s probably the most economical route.

Are you specifically looking for the roller marked slide, or are you just looking for a USPc in a .357sig caliber?

There's a lot of good information here. Also, with a few internet memberships and some Master level Googlery (I should patent that term), you can find out a lot of info about who you're going to meet before you ever leave the house.

We as a country could put skilled, armed security in every school in America if we really wanted to. Maybe instead of sending $26.4 Billion (that's just the financial aid part) to Ukraine, we invest that into the safety of all of our children and consequently, the future of America.

I've researched the abortion numbers. There are two reporting entities, the CDC and the Guttmacher institute:
"The CDC compiles figures voluntarily reported by the central health agencies of the vast majority of states (including separate figures for New York City) and the District of Columbia. Its latest totals do not include figures from California, Maryland or New Hampshire, which did not report data to the CDC."
According to the CDC, for the year 2020, the number was 620,327 legally induced abortions/deaths.
"The Guttmacher Institute compiles its figures after contacting every known provider of abortions – clinics, hospitals and physicians’ offices – in the country. It uses questionnaires and health department data, and provides estimates for abortion providers that don’t respond to its inquiries. Guttmacher’s figures are higher than the CDC’s in part because it includes data (and in some instances, estimates) from all 50 states."
Guttmacher’s national total for 2020 was 930,160 legally induced abortions/deaths.

So if you argue that we need stricter gun laws to "protect our children" and you are pro-choice you are, at best, a hypocrite.

The short answer is, yes they are worth it. The long answer is also yes, depending on your needs.
1. Ergonomics:. In my experience the ergonomics lends itself to a quicker first shot sight acquisition.
2. Quality: Their quality is at the top. The quality across the USP line, the P Series line, even into the striker-fire pistols is very consistent.
3. Accuracy: Accuracy is very consistent with different ammo (I've fired everything from range ammo to defensive ammo, w/ the same high level results).
4. Maintenance: They are low maintenance. Some HK firearms are designed to fire hundres of rounds between cleanings.The USP test fire was 85,000 rounds w/o malfunction. (Obviously, the average shooter won't fire near this many rounds and should clean on a regular basis after shooting).
5. Trigger: Triggers come down to personal preference (HK triggers break-in point is around 2,000 rounds. Their triggers become significantly smoother after the break-in point).
6. Value: HK firearms only go up in value. Recent state of affairs a side, the only other standard run pistols I've seen accrue value like an HK, is the older Colt Snake revolvers. 10/12 years ago you could find an HK P7 for around $800. Today they are in the $2k range.
7. Engineering: It's German engineering. What some call clunky, others called durable. HK doesn't make the most slim, smooth, compact pistol out there. HK's compact sized pistols are comparable to most other manufacturers mid-size pistols.
8. Price: HK products are expensive. It depends on your reason for buying (It's my personal stance that self-defense and protecting my family are the last two places I want to save money).
Your reason for buying plays the biggest role in choosing an HK over another brand. If you're willing to buy used and are patient, you can usually find an HK between $500/$700.They are very durable, consistent, reliable firearms. Take a look at the agencies around the world that rely (not solely) on HK weapons as part of their arsenal. Israeli and U.S. Special Forces are two such agencies (if it meets their standards, that's good enough for me). HK's are not the perfect fit for every situation, that depends on your demands from the tools at your disposal. An HK pistol should definitely be one of those tools.
