Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By airman100: Soooo... I went to the match trigger link Friday- 184 in stock.  Really? Credit card almost cut me on the way out... 183  Got my shipping notice today, on a Sunday.. TYVM. Went back tonight.. still 183 in stock. How does this place still have 183 of these things, for 2/3 MSRP, when no one else seems to?  I honestly think it must have been an accidental overstock. They were scarce and expensive forever. Now he has tons of them for dirt cheap. Factory HK sealed packaging too. He also gives out a gift with every order so they’re not just drop shipping them. Rooftop Defense is a take on the Rooftop Koreans who went to war with and killed a bunch of gang members during the Rodney King riots. That will provide context when you see what the gift is.

 These things are just cool. The USP9 is deceivingly small. I always assumed they were substantially bigger than say a Glock 17, but they're much closer to a G19. I've been carrying mine in a Ritchie Gun Leather Hideaway leather holster. |

That's the big lie that the Glock fanboys have sold for years that I unfortunately believed. I think it was @-OdieGreen- that posted a comparison photo in GD between a G17/G19 and the USP9, was genuinely surprised how close it was to a G19 with a magazine in both pistols. Those tan frame USP setups look awesome. |

For decades now, I've heard "It's the same size as a G17 but only holds 15". |

What’s really interesting is look how massive the G19 grip is front to back compared to the USP.  Attached FileGlock doesn’t use flush fitting magazines and doesn’t include them in their measurements either, which isn’t a very traditional approach. The USP with a jet funnel mag of 18+1 is pretty damn close to the same grip length as a G17 with a magazine. The Jet Funnel adds .65 inches. Here is a G17 adjusted for grip length with a USP to give you an idea. The USP is of course still a bit taller in the slide.  Attached FilePeople talk about not liking the grip angle of Glocks, but I think the bigger issue people have without realizing is how high the back strap is in relation to how low the trigger sits. It’s not natural to each downward for the trigger which is the real issue that I think takes lots of practice to bypass. |

Another interesting and also notable way to measure them is based off the web of your hand and the arch. I like my USPs all of the full-size ones have the Jetfunnel. Also the guts from the VP9 will increase the capacity from 15 to 17. It also works on the Jet Funnel mags, although it only ads one round from 18 to 19. The TaylorFreelance mag extensions fit like a silk glove and turn the 18s to 21’s. Would recommend. |

Wish I could pick one up but my current USP project is already dragging out too far. Got my threaded barrel but my comp has been sitting at a post office in Alabama for a week with no movement.

Would love to see someone do a batch from HK with the brown/tan slides on OD frames with the all black controls.
I think they would sell well. The OD frame USP and USP-T sold out in under 24 hours. Kinda kicking myself for not getting three. I’m going to find it hard to want to shot a consecutive set. Hmm. Or I need to get over it and go buy a left and right side matching set of holsters and dual carry a set of amazing combat pistols. |

Tombstone has the Tacticals in stock. They’re not RAL7008 but are “taupe”. Looks like a more traditional FDE, maybe even the tan color from the 2000’s run.

Can’t get them in California either. Threaded barrels are perfectly fine to purchase and possess, just can’t be installed.
