Both could be Tupperware. The G21 would fit the no external safety and the USP would fit the external safety. I guess TS would be a happy man if the USP was selected.

This is supposedly a pic of the HK45, which is their entry into the JCP competition. I'm hoping it wins.

I'll be interested to see what the differences are with the new, yet to be released HK P3000.

It says 9mm in the pics at a show in France, but word is they'll offer it in the main 3 calibers.
