I am H&K fan so here are mine:
UPS .45 + UPS Compact .45 (excuse the S&W .357 & colt AR-15):
Here they are in action:
FYI the compact has way more kick and less accurate than the USP standard.

Well, this is a thread I never thought I'd participate in, much less start. I'm too broke now to buy a new car, I've satisfied my watch craze for now. It's still too hot to play golf. Sooooo, thought I'd pick up shootin' guns! 
Been doing some preliminary research. Dropped by the Scottsdale Gun Club this morning. Gonna sign up for a basic handgun safety/use instruction. I'm scared $hitless of firearms, but with proper instruction, I think it'll be fun. I have no intention of carrying a concealed weapon, although from what I gather, it's pretty darn easy to get a permit in Arizona. This is primarily for recreation and in a distant second....god-forbid it should come to this....home/family protection.
What handguns do you have? What do you like/dislike about a particular brand? I'm pretty fixated on H&K, but Glock and Sig Sauer are certainly considerations. Open to constructive discussion about the guns themselves, NOT to a moral/philosophical debate about owning/carrying guns.

Nice guns, Jimmy. Be glad you have them now, because, shit. We're screwed. It's gonna be an Obama-nation
Oh well. Can't do anything about that now.
Question for the gun gurus. What's the best method/tactic to eliminate jerking the trigger/tightening the fingers? I just can't seem to improve on my problem of going low and left.
