All,
I contacted H&K yesterday, and they stated that the H&K items listed on the EOPSS list will become legal/available for sale in Ma on approximately December 20th of this year, provided they don't hear anything from the AG's office stating not to sell.
Do I dare ask if anyone has heard anything? Maybe a Christmas miracle?
OMG GUYS HK MADE THE LIST!!!!!!

In semi-related news, the latest Four Seasons email showed an M&P9 Pro.
Does this mean we don't suck anymore?

So not being all that familiar with HK... are their USP's any good? How does it compare to other polymer pistols? For the pricetag, what about it is supposed to be better?
Serious question here, not trying to or

I have a USPc .45. Used to have a USPc .40. Good things: Accurate. Reliable. Good sights. SA trigger is OK. Slide release is well placed and generously sized. Ambidextrous mag release.So not being all that familiar with HK... are their USP's any good? How does it compare to other polymer pistols? For the pricetag, what about it is supposed to be better?

Not so good things: Relatively high bore axis. DA trigger is horrid. Slide is way too big. Can be carried cocked and locked. Mag release is in the wrong placed and rather stiff.
A shot an HK45 and P2000sk a couple weeks ago -- definitely an improvement over the USP and USPc.
Just looking at the HK lineup, the P2000 SK might be a nice carry gun. But, as usual, you get more for less with a Glock 19 which is smaller in every dimension, lighter, and holds more rounds.

To prevent some obvious head banging by some users, if you are thinking about getting a USP 40 full, it is .40 S+W -ONLY- and it cannot be converted to .357 Sig. I know this because I looked into it when I owned one, even though I normally loathe conversions of any kind. At one point Jarvis made a barrel for the gun, but it failed (users got unfixable jamming problems) and they won't sell it anymore. The USP .40 full simply does not work with .357 Sig. Nobody has explained why, but I would venture a guess it is some kind of timing problem, and it probably has to do with the dual recoil spring setup and perhaps the mass of the slide. It might also be just an unlocking thing, too. Regardless, if you are "into" .40 it is a pretty decent handgun. Mine was extremely accurate.
