Personally, I would go with a Glock. They are the best bang for the buck but of the two, I prefer the H&K. You really can not go wrong with any of the three. In the end go with what feels best in your hand.
Yeah, the Glock would generally be a first tier rec based on history, but the large frame Glocks (G20/21) are about as ergonomic as a brick. Better than the Mk. 23 though.

My Feedback
I have owned both. My HK is utterly dependable but I like the Springfield ergonomics a bit better. I feel the fit and finish of the H&K might be a bit better but it was also 2-300 more. My HK had the LEM module and I just couldn't get used to the trigger pull. The compact Springfield XD-45 is a nice carry gun and mine has been very reliable. The Springfield is also a great deal. I do feel that the Glock 21 and 30 are great weapons and I can shoot them more accurately than I can the Springfield and HK.
With that being said, if I was going to buy another .45 it would definitely be another 1911.
It’s really just personal preference at this level. H+K, Springfield, Sig and Glock are all excellent, have great customer support and have good resale value.
Have you seen the H+K P7’s that have come on the market recently? They are German Police Pistols that have been decommissioned. Most have little to no use with only holster wear. The market is soft and down 25% with the recent influx of pistols. If you ever thought about getting one now’s a good time.
I’m thinking of getting a Sig P226 X5 L1. It’s really nice and fits my hand like it was made for me.
The shop I was in didn't have any Sig's just S&W's, XD's, Baby Eagles and of course Beretta's The Baby Eagles were comfy but damn they are heavy... just like dad
I'm going to hit up another store today to look at the Sig's but so far the XD felt the best in my hand. My wife liked the M&P the best for its smaller grip and interchangeable pieces.
vpivinylspinner - Having owned both what differences did you find in performance, trigger pull, accuracy, etc.?

I could shoot the XD much more accurately but that was mostly because I didn't get along the the LEM trigger on my USP. I still prefer Glock triggers to both and 1911 triggers to everything else but the very best revolvers. I personally think the H&K is a stronger gun as it is VERY well built but both models were very reliable. I can't remember a hiccup out of either.
