My old training NCO was a former Special Forces sniper. He’s the best shot I’ve ever seen with a pistol or rifle, just spooky. Anyhow, he trained with H&K Socom and declares it the most accurate pistol he’s ever fired. He never carried it on missions, however, because it’s as heavy as a cinder block. A regular old USP or Beretta was adequate as a back-up piece.
