So I just recently purchased a USP Compact 45ACP and decided I like it so much I'm buying my buddies USP Tactical 45ACP with GG&G rail and TLR2 for my bedside.

So my question is what modifications have you seen or have on your USP's that are worth the money? Match barrels or anything like that is what I'm looking for I guess. I'm open to any suggestions though!

I may end up using the full-size tactical for IPSC when I get into it soon so keep that  in mind as well if any modifications may disqualify me from certain classes. I'm not familiar with how IPSC works now but I'm going to try to start in February.

Thanks in advance for the help from a new HK owner!

A rail and light is all you need.  You already have the match trigger and sights.

The one and only "accessory" that you need for a USP Tactical is a supressor. Other than that, don't fuck with it!

I personally did not like the factory sights on my fullsize USP Tac at all.  I had them replaced with three dot Mepro night sights, which work great for me.

Let's see, it already comes with a match barrel, match sights, match trigger; what more can you add?  I guess you can add a laser or light or laser/light combo if that blows your dress up.  If not a HK specific light/laser/combo you will need an adapter rail in which case you would be hard pressed to beat the GG&G both in quality and price.  If you would like a suppressor then leave the tall sights on there; you will need them when using the can.  If no can is in the deck, night sights of shorter profile will allow the use of standard USP holsters.  There is not a whole lot you can do or need to do to the Tactical other than feed it regularly.

Ok I didn't realize the factory barrel/trigger/sights were so good! I didn't realize thats why the factory sights were so high for a silencer...

Thanks for all your input, looks like I'll just keep it factory with the GG&G rail and TLR2!

You can get the HK Tactical night sights if you must spend some money. You will be highly impressed with the USP45 Tac and it will make you want the .40 Tac, and then the Compact Tac ............

A Light and Adapter (no Adapter needed if it's a UTL).

And Night sights.

I haven't tried the Ameriglo Tactical night sights (Taller than the normal ones for a suppressor), but they are worth checking out. I would like to get a pair...

If you ever shoot at night you know you will need some Tritium sights.  I got a flash suppressor for mine as I shoot at some self defense shoots and some are at night.  I also got  the rubber.... grip (hard ball, handball ???) for mine, 5 mags total.  And go to the grocery store, go to the dish washing area and get some 100% copper steel type wool for cleaning out the bore occasionally... ONLY THE 100% COPPER ONE.

I use mill tech 1 to lube it, especially after a sonic cleaning... takes the gun from gray to black again.

Get a suppressor, I went with B&T, love it... you'll get one eventually, the gun is designed for it. And locate your local range and find out about IDPA or self defense shoots, you'll love it.  But be careful, its addicting.  Lots of great men and women there, but if their not anal about safety, look elsewhere... and its ok if you get dinged about safety a few times, listen to them and learn.

Start budgeting for ammo, I have about 7K thru my Tac, great therapy. Annnnd, practice drawing and dry fire shooting bad guys on your TV.
