I bought a H&K USP .45 and about a year later, I picked up the G17. I ended up trading the USP in towards my AR15; the Glock was that good. Simple, light, accurate, mega-reliable!
MrTune, when you get it, you really should pick up the 3.5 pound connector and the extended slide release. If you're going to be shooting paper, you may get the reduced-power firing pin spring; but only if you never plan on carrying it a lot. You will undoubtedly get some mother's metal polish and and shine up the cruciform, disconnector, etc. to make that trigger smooooth. Stay away from gimmics like the backstop plug, glock pants clip, etc.
Oh, don't forget the Trijicon or Meprolight night sites, they have little tritium filled tubes that glow all by themselves for about 12 years. A necessity for home defence, shooting in the dark (at bad guys)
