Last year i bought a Ruger GP100 revolver, chambered in .357 / .38special and have enjoyed target shooting and varmit obliterating in my back yard (rural iowa) as well as a for property defense purposes on a few occasions (keeping well within the legal texts of my applicable laws). It is for the latter that i have begun to feel the need for a semi-automatic clip-fed handgun of a larger (read: engine-stopping) caliber.
Two handguns of similar price and merits are the Heckler & Koch USP.45, in full-frame version with 12-round magazine, or the Desert Eagle .50, with i believe a 7-round magazine. While the reduced clip size of the DEagle is unfortunate, the point of clips is to be quickly replacable, so it isn't a big factor to me. Also, i can shoot my .357 single-handed ambidextrously without any wrist pain, so the DEagle shouldn't be unbearable in normal use. However, the USP is meant for tactical assault, so its accuracy will likely be far better.
Which gun would you choose here?
