Haven't shot it or seen it. So does full size mean there is a compact size like the Glock 17 to 19?

Why? I shoot left and right handed with pistols and rifles...it's good practice to do off hand shooting! Wish my usp was ambi!
In regards to concealment, the left-handed portion of the safety makes it THAT much wider which usually catches on my clothes. I'm splitting hairs, I know... 
However, you did make a good point. I should probably start shooting left-handed just in case a Zombie rips my right arm off. We all know they're coming!!!

Very nice and rare stainless slide USP!! Don't ever sell her. Have you ever heard of the LEM trigger offered by HK? Guess I'll have to make a thread now as well. I'm an HK whore and own three of them.

It's a light DAO with a short reset. Imagine single action trigger pull weight and a 50% reduction in trigger reset every time you pull the trigger. It's called the "Law Enforcement Modification/Combat Defense Action" trigger, but is not illegal for civilians to have. You can also install it yourself and not void the warranty. I have the LEM trigger on both my full size USP 45 and P2000sk 40.
Quote from HK's website:
"The HK Law Enforcement Modification trigger system combines the advantages of a cocked striker component (constant level of trigger pull from first to last round fired) with a double-action hammer system.
Developed especially for a U.S. government agency, the Law Enforcement Modification (or LEM for short), is a unique trigger mechanism created specifically to improve the trigger performance and reduce the weight of the Double-Action Only (DAO) trigger pull on HK pistols.
With this mechanism, HK pistols can be fired like a standard DAO semi-automatic pistol where every round is fired by simply pulling the trigger fully rearward with the hammer starting at the forward rest position. The design of the proprietary HK LEM system allows the weight of the DAO trigger pull to be reduced to a smooth and constant 6.18 - 8.5 pounds (27.5 - 37.8 N) because the two-part hammer is pre-cocked every time the slide moves rearward. Trigger pull on conventional double action pistols is 12 - 15 pounds (53.4 - 66.7N).
The unique LEM pre-cocked hammer system combines the advantages of a cocked striker component (constant level of trigger pull and short trigger travel from first to last round fired) with a double action hammer system. Optional adjustment (by HK certified armorer) can bring the trigger pull into the 5.5 pound (24.5 N) range."

If that is anything like the ones on the sig, you might hate it, I know I did when I shot a friends 228SAS
BTW, you are lucky that you can carry OWB. I wouldn't dare do it in CT, cops don't know the laws in my area. Might get arrested for brandishing, as open carry is severely frowned upon.

Nice.
I'm still trying to figure out WTF I'm going to do. I don't want to carry in a purse, because I feel it's not easily accessible.
I kind of want a shoulder rig. It's kind of difficult to find decent lefty rigs. I'm going to wind up special ordering one at some point.
I shoot hand guns left-handed, (although I CAN shoot right-handed, just not as well). I shoot rifles right-handed, since mine are bolt-action right-handed rifles. I'd prefer to shoot left-handed.

You may get arrested, but you WILL have the case thrown out. Also, the State Police have put out a memo that police should not arrest people for simply openly carrying their firearm. The "Board of Firearms Permit Examiners" has basically told police with a 5-0 ruling that if a person is arrested for legal open carry and are charged with breach of peace or anything similar, they WILL NOT revoke your pistol permit. There is a big open carry movement, including cases moving through the courts, in CT right now to get everybody on the same page with CT's firearm laws. The AWB may be the next thing to go relatively soon.

Yes, don't carry in your purse please. It will take forever to get it out if you ever need it. My GF has a crossbreed holster she carries her XD9sc in, and I can't tell she's wearing it unless I'm staring at it. Buy a proper gun belt (1.5" width and at least a 1/4" thick) and you may need to change up your wardrobe a bit. Summer style blouse tops work extremely well for females trying to conceal IWB.
Instead of a crossbreed, check out www.whitehatholsters.com. Similar design as a crossbreed, but the kydex is detachable so you can just buy a different shell to carry a different firearm on the same holster.
Wow CTsupra, never heard of that trigger setup, and it's cheap enough that even if you hate it you could just resell it. HK's tend to be a bit expensive, but they're fine firearms. Make me want one even more...
