    The HK45C has a much more user-friendly, ergonomic grip. It also has a tapered, contoured slide which does very little to enhance concealibility. It gives the APPEARANCE of that. :dunno:

    I've never owned either, but one day I want to own a CZ as well as an HK

    It has front cocking serrations and a tapered slide that DOES conceal better than the USP 45c if you carry IWB. I have owned and carried both. The HK45c uses a standard rail unlike the USP 45c. Not that it matters because its to short for most things. The barrel is a little longer on the HK45c and uses an o-ring lockup like the tactical HK's. It also has two different back straps ambi slide release and a slightly longer sight radius. Functionally it's the same gun that uses the same internals depending on variation. Both use the same mags and are boringly reliable and accurate.
