HK Elite..Any thoughts?

[400driver]

Currently using a Shadow Viper for 25 M sports pistol here in Spain but am looking for some info from anyone who has experience with the HK USP Elite pistol. I am looking at a 9 mm option and would love to know about the trigger and any other thoughts from people.
Problem is I have to order it to even hold one here!
Thanks

I had one but was disappointed. I was told that the Elite was more accurate than my HK Expert, so bought one. I didn't like the balance and my aging eyes didn't like the longer sight radius. It may just be me, but I wasn't impressed with the accuracy or trigger, so sold it after a few frustrating trips to the range.

You should check out the Pardini GT9, it's trigger is really something that has to be experienced.

Thanks for the feed back about the gun. I like a long radius but the trigger is what I wanted to hear about.


I figure that as here in Europe at most sport pistol contests there are many Sig P210, Vipers etc, the fact I have never seen an Elite speaks volumes.
I have a friend with a GT9 and he has offered me a session with it, will take him up on that soon.
Thanks Mark
