I am infatuated with them for sure, only reason I didn't get one was because my LGS didn't have any in at the time and a used p250 caught my eye for $300 that I couldn't pass up. I definitely plan to pick one up as soon as I can, my advice is to go with the 45 acp if you're on the fence about the caliber; from my understanding the 45 has a dual spring recoil reduction system that makes it shoot very soft from what I hear. Pic somewhat not really related, it's my p250 that I absolutely love.

not really a fan unless LEM. not impressed by standard USP triggers, still better than P30 though that thing is dogshit

If you can get it for a good price I would go for it, I got my .45 for $500

I don't use mine as a defensive gun, mags are too expensive and the mag release pinches the shit out of my middle finger when inserting a loaded mag when the slide is forward (and I'm too lazy to convert it to a variant 3, the safety and decocker is retarded)

But it's great for reenacting scenes from Collateral

I love my USP9. Very easy to shoot well, I like the trigger reset on my bone stock V1 (non LEM) model, and it's just so fucking sexy.

Also, the gun has eaten everything i've thrown at it and I haven't had a single malfunction. Probably have about 800 rounds through it, so very new still.

I keep it chambered and decocked as my primary HD gun, although I love it so much I might retire it to my cozy safe in favor of something I don't mind losing should i have to use it one day.

One of my favorite guns to shoot. It was a total nostalgia buy for me, as I have been lusting over them since they first came out (I had just started shooting as a young boy) and finally picked one up. 11/10 would emotion-purchase again.

Glock 41 does everything better in a lighter package.
>>
>>29769682
The USP has a long trigger reach and it's really awkward for me personally to pull the double action trigger on it without pivoting my finger, which is not optimal, so I don't own one (I do have two USP Compacts). However, they are very nice guns.

The recoil reduction system (which the USP-C doesn't have) really works. It makes 9mm feel like .32 and makes .40 caliber feel like 9mm. The gun has great aesthetics with that long, scalloped slide and full length, smooth dust cover.

The trigger is very good - HK double action triggers are incredibly smooth and easy to work with, and the single action pull is fairly crisp out of the box, with several upgrades available to give it match-like quality. The LEM trigger, if you opt for one, is very practical and probably the best precocked DAO trigger you'll ever shoot.

The magazines aren't that expensive ($25-30), it's pretty lightweight despite the size, and capacity is good although not great. The capacity is a downside, but, for me, the biggest downside is the huge grip and long trigger pull. It just doesn't work for me, and I can handle some other guns with big grips, like the Sig P226, just fine. Then again, that's why the USP Compact exists.

>>29769752
>but fuck that mag release.
It's designed to be actuated with the index finger. If you're using your thumb, you are not entitled to complain.
>>
>>29769825
for all those times when you insert a mag when the slide is forward?
>>
>>29770265
actually the USPC does have that shit, its a plastic ring around the spring. the 19 has less recoil and muzzle flip

>>29770276
More frequent than inserting a mag when the slide is locked back
>>
>>29770287
>actually the USPC does have that shit, its a plastic ring around the spring.
The rubber buffer on the USPc doesn't buffer the recoil nearly as well as the dual spring assembly on the full size USP. I've shot them side by side and it's night and day. The full size USP recoil impulse is two stage, and the second stage really slows down the slide and reduces perceived recoil. The USPc just slams the slide back same as any other gun, except there's a tiny bit of padding.
>the 19 has less recoil and muzzle flip
Glock 19? Has less recoil and muzzle flip than a USP or USPc? No, you're mistaken about that. It's not a hard-recoiling pistol, but it does have a stronger recoil impulse than any USP.

Maybe you shot a USPc with a worn out recoil spring, or are comparing a .40 caliber USPc with the Glock 19? I've shot them both and the USPc 9mm recoils a little softer than a Glock 19, no question about it.

So you don't load your guns +1? You just lock the slide back, insert a mag and hit the slide release and call it good?

You always shoot until empty?

If you retards would actually think about it you would realize that you will always insert mags more often with the slide forward

MOST of the time i'm at the range, so i fire until empty, slide locks back, insert new mag, and either use the slide release (not often), or pull back slightly to disengage the slide lock (most often).

I don't go +1 at the range, or at home.
>>
>>29769701

I had a USP Compact issued; only gun i had problems with. The extractor failed, and some missfires. Using military issue 9mm NATO.

It had been a bit abused and poorly mantained by the previous guy, to be fair... but it´s a gun that suffers specially when badly taken care off.

But, as said, never had problems with Berettas or Glocks.
>>
>>29770459

I asked how do you load, not reload

You take your gun out of the range bag/drawer/safe to either shoot or cc and lock the slide back and insert a mag or insert a mag and then rack the slide?

I was responding to the fact that you said you load it more frequently with the slide forward, which means you either:

a) never actually shoot your USP
3) are being a pedantic twat about the difference between "load" and "reload"

Technically every load you ever do to a gun is a "reload" because some faggot at the factory first "loaded" the gun and test fired it.

dey nice.... if you do get one, your decision is either

USP45T
USPC40
and now that they just came out USP9T - make sure you get an actual T and not a misadvertised USP9SD - there is a difference, just keep in mind for it to be relevant, you gotta put a $70 jet funnel on it, and the mags are about $60 a piece.

And add a Hogue Handall, makes it into sex grip.

>>29769714
1st gen P99 is golden due to the fact it can take 16rd mags instead of 15.

>>29769752
M9A3 or bust if you decide on beretta. if you poor, get a italian police tradein heel-mag release for $299.

>>29769838
you are supposed to use your middle finger to release the mags.

>>29770472
The USPC in 9mm is known to have some problems. But really who buys a 9mm USP and purposely gimps themselves 2-5 rounds per mag? Glock has 9mm covered with sement.

I put 5000 rounds through a USP 9mm without cleaning it before it started having malfunctions. I did lube it ever now and again, but I didn't actually take it down and clean it until a few days before I sold it. The gun was awesome, I still have a Stainless USP 9 that I shoot everytime I go to the range, though I treat this one better.

Both of my USP's have treated me better than any Glock I have owned (not to knock Glocks, but I feel the USP is a superior pistol in every category except for aftermarket).

>he oversized slide just makes manipulating the USP fun but fuck that mag release.
The mag release is intuitive as hell once you get over the fact that it's different. I have found myself regretting that it's not more common.

>>29769819
I don't really care for the LEM, personally. DA/SA is really kinda nice. I also sold my Glock before getting my USPs. I'm very glad I did.

>>29770249
>Glock 41 does everything better in a lighter package.
You know how I can tell you've never fired a USP? I'm actually curious what your argument for this is. Please make an actual comparison.

>>29770265
>The recoil reduction system (which the USP-C doesn't have) really works.
It kiiinnnda does, but nowhere near as effective as the fullsize. The Compact just has a polymer buffer, which still reduces some of the felt recoil, but nothing amazing. Still, compare firing the USP40C to the Glock 23, and it's still a notable difference.

>>29771267
>Both of my USP's have treated me better than any Glock I have owned (not to knock Glocks, but I feel the USP is a superior pistol in every category except for aftermarket).
Basically this. I do find the aftermarket for USPs to be a bit dismal, but then again, what do you really want to do to it? The only valid complaint with its configuration is that the trigger is a combat trigger rather than a match trigger out of the box, and the rail is proprietary. Everything else? Perfection, as their rivals would say.

The Glock isn't a bad gun. It's really not., bullshit Glocknade memes aside. I had one, I liked it, but then I realized I wanted something more. Honestly, comparing the Glock and the USP is kinda like comparing a Jeep and a pickup truck. Same overall utility, very different means of operation and intended purposes.
>>
>>29771454
Here in France, I can't get HK parts. It's a pain in the ass to get mags, spare parts are something like impossible to find. I'm really thinking of a trip to germany to get some.
>>
>>29769682
I have one in .45 full size,Its my favorite gun.
be warned if you don't have big gorilla hands like me the double action reach(the length it is to the trigger not the trigger pull) is VERY long
if you have tiny hands you will probably want to carry cocked and locked, really helps the trigger reach.
The texture is super aggressive out of box but literally run you fingernail along the sharp edges to dull them, then it feels great.
I cant stress how pleasant the recoil is in the full size gun, whatever kraut space magic HK does to this gun it fucking works.
The trigger is stiff and heavy in double action but smooth(start those hand exercises or start jerkin more),single action is stiff but light and crisp no over travel
The gun fit and finish is top fucking notch ,if you get a chance look at the internal slide milling its fucking flawless
HK are about $200 over priced but goddamn do i love the products they make,For me ,whose hobby is really only guns the price is less of a factor, there is real pride of ownership with the usp.
If you have any questions about the .45 full size feel free to ask,i will refresh the thread once in a while.

Im new to shooting. This was with a rented USP .40 at 5 yards. The chest has 13 rounds. Three fliers and 10 in one jagged hole.

The head has 10 I think.

The gun is amazingly accurate and is made with such quality.

After renting that gun I can't go back to my glock or shield :(

>>29772020
Is the felt recoil more than that of a 1911? It is a lighter weapon so it seems like it would recoil more and thus harder to make quick follow up shots.
>>
I have a USP compact and it is my favorite firearm.
>>
>>29772438
not really, i own a GI 1911 and the HK. the recoil is probably less felt on the USP, because of the recoil spring, plus the wider polymer grip.
I feel like the recoil is distributed better in the USP BUT the 1911 grip is smaller so you can really bear down and grip the gun.
In short i feel like i can control recoil better in the 1911 because i can attain a high grip but the HK has less FELT recoil winch makes shooting quickly very pleasant.
Hope that helps

I've fired a Mark 23 previously and found it very comfortable. The USP's felt way too small comparatively, less purchase and less leverage.

>>29769682
Cool gun. .45s are kind of big, the smaller ones are a good size. Built like a tank (the .45 can shoot .45 super out of the box). For a production, non-custom handgun, has very good precision in shooting. Meh trigger IMO but some people put up very good results with them.

>>29772246
Anon, at 5 yards you can barely tell the difference between a gun that shoots 2" groups at 50 yards and a gun that shoot 3" groups at 25 yards. If the groups are noticeably bigger or smaller at that distance it's because of your interface with the grips and the trigger.

A 2" grouping (center-to-center) gun at 50 yards is roughly a 4moa pistol. This is roughly what you get with a $2000 custom 1911. That translates to a 0.2" center-to-center group at 5 yards. A 3" grouping (center-to-center) gun at 25 yards is a 12 moa pistol. This is pretty typical for certain factory handguns, such as Glock. That 12 moa pistol will shoot a 0.6" center to center group at 5 yards. If you look at a target you will very barely be able to see the difference. In order to meaningfully evaluate precision you need to stretch the distance some.

>>29772611
To be perfectly honest i have only ever shot glocks in 9mm so i have no frame of reference for a .45.
but i have held .45 glocks and they are just as, if not more blocky then the HK lighter though.
To be honest with you i have a pretty large bias against glocks (hence the USP .45 over the glock 21)
I don't like the clock grip angle,trigger,stock sights,slide serrations or the polymer mags but i still own a 19 because it is SUCH a common platform and one that i like to be familiar with

1911:love the platform, all steel!, but its a gun that may require a bit more TLC then the other two and is often more expensive.My first gun was a 1911, don't ever let anyone tell you it isn't a great design.

Glock:every man gun,once again i have personal bias against these gun but i still recognize all its great features, the price is right and the reliability is superb. hold one and decide then.

HK USP .45:once again my favorite gun,but i realize it has a lot of drawbacks,fucking expensive for a young or new shooter,propriety rail(have fun spending extra $$$ on lights plus mounts) big,but goddamn its a gun that really works well with me and the gun i use as my nightstand piece.

As with anything its all about taste and commitment,i am a die-hard gun enthusiast so i am willing to jump through a lot of hoops to get what i want, the way i want it.but if you just want a gun to load up and stick in a drawer it makes a good case for the glock.if you want a fine shooting piece and don't care too much about mag limit(like me) 1911.if you can stand the price and like the battery of arms the USP.

I handled a bunch of pistols and the USP was the fucking cream of the crop. Way more ergonomic and perfectly placed and sized controls than even the guns that boast some of the best ergonomics on the market as their claim to fame.

I want one, but one of the reasons I am going for a pistol for HD is because I have kids and I like being able to use it one-handed more easily with a phone or corralling kids or opening/closing doors or whatever with the other hand.

But... the trigger guard is too big for me to activate any light I would want to put on it with one hand.

Should I be going for something with a smaller trigger guard, maybe a P30 or a Mk 25, even though I don't like them that much or should I say fuck it and get the USP?
>>
>>29775230
you could still get the usp and get something like the M2 UTL light, or a surefire with one of those remote switches. surefire makes a switch and adapter for the USP.
>>
>>29775230
>But... the trigger guard is too big for me to activate any light I would want to put on it with one hand.

You generally aren't supposed to use your firing hand to activate a WML, though I can see your concerns with that if you couldn't use your off hand for some reason.
>>
>>29775230
>>29775312
Also the USPcs and P2000s have smaller trigger guards and can take the P30 mags.
>>
>>29775228
yeah I'm sure. HK parts doesn't list anything compatible, maybe they work anyway
>>
>>29775274
Thought about that. But then wouldn't the light just be constantly on as long as I am gripping the pistol? Just seems like asking for accidents. I love the UTL but it's hard to find. The great thing about it is the kill switch up front on the left of it. In that case I could just leave it switched off until I go to bed and turn it on before I go to bed.

Not sure if you can do that with the Surefire.

Plus the UTL looks fucking cool. :^)
>>
>>29775312
Yeah exactly. If I am on the phone or holding my 6-month-old or something.

It may be a small chance it would happen but... then again would it? I mean planning for home defense and doing concealed carry is preparing for a very unlikely event as it is anyway (at least for regular guys like me), so that logic seems pretty hypocritical.
>>
>>29775321
Yeah I am debating getting a P30 (probably an LS V3, I like thumb safeties and SA triggers) or a Mk 25 instead. It would make the weapon light issue so much easier, but...

they're not USPs. :( I just love every other thing about USPs.
>>
>>29775382
Well you could turn it on with your offhand and leave it on, but the tacticool guys say that is a big no no.
>>
>>29775434
Then get the USPc
>>
>>29775444
Precisely my problem.

I have even debated forming and attaching my own extension to the switch out of kydex somehow. That's how much I want a USP.
>>
>>29775472
Like I said here, just get the USPc and buy P30 mags. You can also use the extended mag paddle on these.
>>
>>29775454
>>29775490
Not a totally bad idea. I will consider it, but I hate compact pistols. I will maybe look around at some gun stores in town and see if they have any for me to finger.
>>

Why?

I own the compact and the tactical, both in .45. My favorite pistols ever, nothing else comes close in my opinion.

>>29775570

Nope, they're the adjustable night sights from HK. My tactical doesn't have them because the guy I bought it from took them off, for whatever reason.

I wish I could get extended base plates for the mags. 15 rounds for a gun this big is kinda lame. Guess I can always buy more mags.
>>
>>29775681
I'm reading conflicting things on the forums, do you know exactly which model they originally came on? I basically want to have your gun with a match trigger kit. I've even seen people retrofit the jetfunnel kit on the compact

It's like holding a brick. Not comfortable at all to handle, which was kind of a surprise to me. Glad I didn't buy one.
>>
>>29775703
Get on that Jet Funnel swag, man. If you haven't seen it before, it's basically a small addition to the bottom of your grip, and there's specific mags that allow you to slap in snazzy white mags that let you carry 18 rounds of 9mm. You can find it cheaper than this if you look around:

I can't decide between a T and a CT (both 9mm). What would you guys pick?

I have a jetfunnel and 6 mags for the silver one for when I make it my Lara Croft copycat gun. The HE finished gun is sold.

>>29775749
I've never seen Jet Funnel on a compact model... wtf?
>>
>>29775544
The grip size, really. Full size pistols are just so much more comfy and shootable. They tend to just be better all around. I can also conceal full size guns pretty well so concealability isn't a concern for me, which is really the only thing small pistols have going for them over larger ones. Everything else, full size does better.
>>
>>29775779
>>29775749
Also, what are those serrations at the front of the slide? I've never seen that either.

JF can be modified to work on a compact, the serrations are custom milled I am assuming.

>>29775806
>not sure
I'm glad I'm not losing my goddamned mind. I'm not even sure why someone would have that done other than to be snowflake mode. I don't see the utility of it. Also, If it is custom milled, it's probably fucked up the HE finish.
>>
>>29775792
Ok, if you are talking about the grip length, then that is easily fixed by getting the p30 mags with the xgrips attached, or just using the mags with the pink extension.

>Everything else, full size does better.

Obviously not otherwise you wouldn't be complaining about the trigger guard on the fullsize. Either way the USPc compacts are fine guns for HD if you insist on a pistol, and the sight radius difference is quire small.
>>
>>29775838
Yep. A lot of gun owners don't understand how durable the HE finish. It looks like it scuffs easy, but that is just the lacquer they use after it has already been sealed. I've never seen rust on a USP before. Also, I am pretty sure the HE finish on the USP is better than on the P30, or even the HK45. They claim it's the same process, but after own a P30, and a (at the time) new USP with HE, the finishes are different.

>>
>>29775681
>>29775727
most hk pistols i've seen that have night sights on them usually come with OEM mepros. so afaik if they came from hk, they are probably mepro tru-dots of some sort.
>>
>>29775873
The G43 isn't that short of a gun though. Either way its a pistol, 25 yards is the most you will need.
>>
>>29775893
>Either way its a pistol, 25 yards is the most you will need.

*I suck dick at shooting
>>
>>29775893
If you line them up by the beavertail/back of the slide the glock 43 is well over an inch shorter, it's just the design of the USP slide. I own both guns and love them, it's just sort of odd if you understand what I'm saying.
>>
>>29775886
I have Mepro tru-dots on my fullsize, and Trigicons on my compact. Both were intended for LE use, and I assume the ones on the compact came from factory, except that they are yellow in the rear and green in the front. Not sure if that was someone's upgrade or not.
>>
>>29775904
Who me? I can hit 25 yards with a compact pistol, so I don't see the need for extra sight radius.
>>
>>29775921
I get that, but the G43 is almost as long as a G19 though. People often under estimate that.

I had them installed, I ordered the sights from HK though. You can get the match trigger kit in there as well.

Those are the ones, yes. That is a terrible price though, get it from the actual HK webstore. Thee rear sight needed a bit of filing, but they're on there rock solid and I now have a compact pistol adjusted to how I want to shoot. It's my carry piece.
>>
>>29776100
no longer available it seems, just the sights from the usp compact tactical 45

they have a better price on the match trigger kit at least, anyone have input on it?

Ah, that sucks. The match trigger kit will fit in the compact, but the actual trigger itself won't. You'll get the benefits of the kit, but your trigger won't have the over travel screw. Here's a pic of my first usp45c with the match trigger kit.
>>
>>29776126
Yeah the hkforums say that you can either tap the stock compact trigger and put the screw in, or modify the match trigger that comes with the kit, but I can't find any information on the latter. Looks great though!
>>
/k/ has a hardon for anything expensive...

That shit literally is no better than your average Glock, M&P, or XD.


But everyone will insist that it is because it's expensive

>>29776329
I know it's bait, but I feel like responding for some reason.

People prefer different things.

Most modern manufacturers that have a good name will be reliable. Pick your HK, Sig, Beretta, Glock, M&P, XD, whatever. Why would you pick one over the other? Personal fucking preference, man.

Also USPs aren't even expensive. They're like $850ish brand new and less than that used. That's less than a Mk 25, other HK pistols like the P30 family, or some of the middle-of-the-road Colt, Springfield, Sig, or S&W 1911s.

I like USPs because I like the controls. The gun operates really nicely. It's different from any other pistol I've tried.

Are you saying that one is better than the other?

Because I didn't say they were all exactly the same, I am saying the USP isn't any better.


Here we go with the justifications as to why the more expensive pistol is better..


Give me your best shot guys

The more expensive pistol is better to some if it's the one that they're more comfortable with and shoot more accurately.

It's also better overall for people who aren't poor.
