looking for comments about these pistols.i am going to buy a hi-cap.carry gun w/manual safety.i have decided on either the HK usp compact or Ruger sr9c.the grips on both fit me well.i like looks of the HK and the night sights option, but it seems a little chunky at the middle of the slide for a carry gun.the Ruger comes with a 2nd higher cap.magazine(17-9mm or 15-40cal.)but i dont think night sights are available.any experienced opinions on the recoil and follow up shot capabilities of either of these guns in 9mm or 40cal?

Good luck, with prices these days on ammo, I would go with the 9mm, unless you reload or got plenty of money. I havent shot the new HK, they may have fixed the horrible trigger.
That said, I would go with the Sig 239 Single stack. It has it all over both of the combat tupperware guns. Yes it is only single stack, but you should be able to put it bewtween the eyes better, so you will not be needing a double tap.
Of the two you mention...HK

The HK USP compact isn't very compact to the full sized. I think it's less than one inch on both ends so why bother with the so called compact. Also with a Jet Funnel on the full sized USP one can add 3 more rounds of 9mm to 18 Expert magazine. I suppose if you're dead set on the "compact" that really ain't you can buy the +2 plastic do-hickey magazine round extender.
If you're looking for an "American" Glock knock-off buy the S&W [:D]. Then buy a Glock after much tear shed and bitchin'. Personally I'd buy the HK and be done.
I own an hk, kimber, and a couple browning pistols among several other high dollar pistols so im clearly no stranger to quality. Hopefully that will put my recommendation into perspective for you. I love the sr40c.
midnightrunpaintballer...thats quite a list of great guns.enough said sr40c it is.where can i get night sights?
You can get any night sights you want at Midway USA, or Brownell's. They stock a great supply from all manufacturer's of the sights, for all of the pistol's. When you get the night sights, before you put them on, give me an e-mail, and I will walk you thru it.
