Nice report Tangle - I have shot someone else's and did I must say find it a pleasant experience.
Thus far tho my 226 ST still fills the roll of my ideal carry - plus, unless I ''thin the herd'' I doubt I'll be doing much more buying anytime soon. Re mag release aspects - maybe cos my hands are on large size, I find the SIG mag release excellent - from my std grip I can just tweak it with thumb tip and a mag change is potentially very fast (well - for me!).
The ''1911'' mag release situation is for me always the ideal - and I am not so happy (re carry anyways) having anything too different, from choice. I happen to like shooting my SW99 a lot - and for size it is a great lil' gun - but, oh my that mag release is a bummer - not one I regard as instinctive in use - in fact the other alternative I do not mind too much is the heel type, instance my R9, Mak, and even CZ-52.
The BHP of course also is very ''JMB'' and Bersa .380 also similar - these I like for that very reason, among others.
Big thing tho is as ever - what the individual likes and certainly, I have heard minimal bad words re the USP.
Thx again anyways - always good to hear first hand thoughts.
