I sold my USP40 to get my HK45c. Glad that I did since I shoot much better with the 45c.

I was into HK big league when I first started with guns about 17 years ago. Over time the negatives; trigger, capacity for size, pushed me to Glocks. Cool pistols, but too many compromises to bring me back. View Quote |

LOL. Not even close. I'll take a USP in a 1v1 up against a Glock POS, any day. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Great pistol. Mine functions 100% all day everyday.
CDNN has factory threaded barrels for the 9 cheap right now. |

I owned an HK USP .45 and a Ruger P90 in .45. Couldn't tell the difference between the two except for the extremely high price of the HK. So I sold both and bought a Glock.

I have Trump hands, and the USPc fits me like a glove. Just about the only pistol that I can operate all the controls without having to modify my grip. They shoot beautifully and point well.

I have a USP9 SD and an USP 45. Both are built like tanks, handle like bricks, and are some of the most accurate handguns I've ever fired.

Anyone else shoot the USP's and Compacts better than the P30's? I don't know what it is, as I love the grip of the P30, but man, the slide release and my thumb just can not get enough of each other and I am much more accurate with the USP and USPc. One caveat is I put the Hogue slip on grips on my USP's.

My USP Custom Combat (soon to be adding threaded barrel and tac sights). 16 rounds of .40 goodness . My only gripe on THIS gun is the inability to add the .45 tactical mag release. The jet funnel mags are plastic. https://imgur.com/2tkW2V0.jpg I also have a EDC P2000SK in .40 View Quote |

The USP Compact is one of the best polymer framed handguns made. I would not feel undergunned with one.

How have we had a USP thread this long and not one mention of Jack Bauer?

I bought a USPc 9mm a few months ago and have had lots of problems with it.
Put ~400 rounds through it so far and have had a couple dozen stovepipes with blazer brass. Not sure if USPs only like NATO ammo or what. I'm gonna have to get some to try because I'm getting frustrated. Anyone else had similar issues? I shoot blazer brass in every other handgun I own, Glocks, CZs, Sigs, and have never had an issue. |

Best handgun I've fired. Agree with everything the op said. It was game changing for me. Couldn't miss and felt great.

My USP45 only leaves the safe when I need to be reminded of how good the G21 is.
Bought it on a whim. It's okay. |

My USP40 has fired everything I've put through it. But I haven't tried to feed it Blazer brass. View Quote Related: Winchester USA Steel is junk ammo, at least the comblock stuff feeds and functions (for the most part). |

Sorry, I wasn't clear - the adapter on the TLR series makes it slide directly onto the USP rail, none of this adapter to picatinny b.s. Works like the UTL except it's a modern light and can be had with integrated laser as well. It's really a good bit better than the UTL - and yes, my recollection is like yours that the Mark23 & USP had rails long before anything else or anything else mass-market (though the Mark23 isn't REALLY mass market). https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41vJrAobzmL._SL500_AC_SS350_.jpg View Quote I have not seen that before |

Didn't you start a thread saying that your HK is your first and only pistol? View Quote I didn't mean, I outright decided I would never buy another one. But that's why I was okay with the premium HK pistols command. The USP is a Smaller MK23 minus the chrome lined barrel. The MK23 is the most tested pistol ever and it did better than any other pistols during tests. So I wanted my pistol to be very accurate and bomb proof. |

That gun is just the tits. USP made shooting fun again. https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder924/32245924.jpg View Quote The USP is a damned fine pistol. But I think that of all the times I shot an HK, it's never failed in the least in my experience. That's why I keep one of my USPs as a designated nightstand pistol. And I do think that anytime you get some trigger time with one, it's pretty much guarenteed to be a good time. That's why over half of my pistol collection are HKs. [/fan boy praise] |

My USP9 is always either on my hip, or in my center console. This coming from a 1911 guy.

I guess I'll be the downer here. My buddy has a USP45 full size that I have shot extensively and have never enjoyed shooting at all. I've shot other USP9's in compact and full size, also.
The gun has less of a soul than a Glock and doesn't shoot as well as one, either. Trigger is meh. I respect everyone in the thread who appreciates these pistols and am interested in the VP9, P30 and HK45, but would never buy the usp. |

So, I get home from work today, take a shower, throw my dog in the truck, and we head to the local gun store with the best used guns in the state.
see a couple USP 40s, in the $500 range, yawn, I dont like 40. WTF? WTF is THAT? Lo and behold, it's a USP9 Tactical !It looks great, feels great. Tight as a drum, $699 with 4 mags. Sold! Another HK in the stable! Today was a good day! The new addition. Attached File Its older siblings. Attached File Attached File |

Not to be a downer, but that's the old "USP9 Tactical" (really USP9SD IIRC) which doesn't have the "match" trigger (with visible stop) of the other USP Tacticals, the barrel O-ring, or the "Tactical" slide markings. Still a good deal IMNSHO but the new one is more betterer. View Quote |

Glad you liked it OP but this is the first time I've ever heard someone describe an HK pistol trigger as "awesome"

I cannot find a USP Compact 9mm under $600 to save my fucking life. Been searching for over a year

BTW, look for HK P8 magazines - translucent 15rds like the "Jet Funnel" 18rds but without sticking out the bottom.... |

My USP45 is a safe queen. I don't think I've shot her this decade.
