I have considered DAO pistols like the Walther PPS and Sig 239 among others. I end up back at the fact that having a thumb safety is pretty important to me. I guess the XD could be an alternative given that there is a grip safety. So it looks like if I want something very close to a USP, my only other choices would be 1911 like the EMP and Aegis...both a bit more expensive than a USP compact. Ya'll have given me some stuff to think about, thanks for the help. Keep the comments coming.

USP alternatives
Hi all, here's my first post...
I'm in the market for my first handgun (not my first firearm). So far, I like the H&K USP compact in 9mm. I like the ability to carry condition 1, or DA/SA. My only wish is that the USPc were smaller so that I could conceal it easily on my skinny self.
Obviously this will be a CCW/home defense weapon. So, I'm looking for thinner alternatives chambered in 9mm. I'm really having trouble finding pistols that have controls similar to the USP. If they made the P2000 with the same controls, maybe that would be ideal.
Do ya'll have any suggestions as to other guns I should be looking at? I realize I might have to compromise some, I just want to make sure I consider some good alternatives before I hand over my hard-earned money. Thanks in advance, great forum here!
