>Are the front slide serations, rail and ergos of the HK45 worth giving up two rounds ?

Get your dick manipulators around both of them. That's the only way you're going to know for sure.

>front slide serrations
If you use them. To me, these aren't worth giving up 2 rounds capacity.
>ergos
You be the judge. I personally find the USP45 ergos to be pretty good and HK's finger grooves are a little big for my fingers.
>rail
No. It's not impossible to attach lights directly to the USP rail, and adapting isn't hard.

Although I've only shot a USP45, I doubt the recoil is very different, given my experience with other HKs in different calibers.

The HK45 Compact Tactical is something else entirely. You have a distinct advantage of the USP45 Compact here because the grip texture is so much better suited to concealed-carry. USP grip side texture is a little rough.

I shot a USP 45c at a rental range on father day, sorry no pics

>trigger mediocrity way overstated, was actually pretty good, but because the da trigger was fairly heavy, my index finger would wrap around it too much and with follow up shots the gun would pinch the fuck out of it (very uncomfy)
>fairly ergonomic - however the grip width was too narrow imo, and the gun would work itself away from the web of my hand and straight back against my thumb (fairly uncomfy)
>paddle magazine release, sights, decocker and control lever were very easy to use
>fit and finish were superb


Does my experience mirror anyone else's?

>>34308205
the only thing i dislike about the streamlight is that the locking mechanism sucks dick and the toggle switch is too sensitive

>>34308216
>also, the safety was not as natural to disengage as my 1911 and was quite stiff

I think lem would be perfect and solve my issues with it. Hk45c might be something I need to check out as well

Best to disable the strobe anyway right m8.

>>34308216
The USP Compacts all have narrower grips than their full size counterparts (so you may have better luck with one of those), but people with big hands and long fingers don't tend to enjoy USPs - and maybe other HK models either - because of how far back in the trigger guard the trigger pull breaks.

really considering getting a PTR91 as my first battle rifle, anyone here had any good experiences with them?

I know its not hk but (lol clone)

>>34308243
Yeah I actually found the "outdated" USP grip pretty nice, it was just a tad too narrow and moved around a bit in my hand

>thanks

>>34308244
I don't have experience with them, but I have researched them. They seem like the AK of battle rifles. No lack round bolt hold open, no lever or button for bolt release, paddle mag release, beat to shit surplus mags are cheap but can be unreliable, and new mags are overpriced. When I get a .308 rifle, I will probably go with an AR 10 myself.

>>34308244
My best mate owns one and it's a lot of fun. Not sure how effective it is as a fighting rifle though.

They are big, heavy, clunky and absolutely without a doubt one of the most durable rifles that exist. I feel like I could use this fucker to prop a blast door open like in terminator 3. If I was stuck somewhere isolated and was worried about wild animals and the occasional group of trouble makers I wouldnt feel under armed at all with a G3. It does get cumbersome when moving in and out of vehicles frequently or going door to door.

>>34308592
there is objectively nothing wrong with layaway

>>34308522
Just an example, bro. You can get them for $800 any day of the week. This one is a rare colored frame version and it's selling for $200 less. You can get other variants in the same range on occasion too, if you're patient.

>>34308592

I have the VP9. Great gun, good trigger, hasn't shit the bed on me and I use it as a competition gun. Only problem is the stock magazine capacity, but you can get 21 rounds with a mag extension. I assume the .40 version is the same, just with a lower round count. You shouldn't be dissapointed with it.

>>34308868
I don't think that lefties have enough muscle mass to hold one of those. Oh shit, you meant left handed. Not op, but I can only imagine that it is quite awkward, especially when doing reloads, due to the charging handle being on the left side of the rifle.

>>34308390

VP40 is a fantastic pistol.

>>34309055
No, I just know that the buffer models are the only .40 cal guns worth owning. Even more so the P2000 or USPc are better since they are smaller with only one round lost in capacity.

>>34308610
The VP series don't have buffers, and that is what makes the HK guns such good .40s. Also the compacts have only one less round while being more concealable yet perfectly capable of using the 13 round mags.

The VP40 is the worst .40 to get out of all of the HK .40s.

>>34309128
Dual recoil spring assembly >>>>>little plastic buffer

>USP 40f STRONK

In all honesty neither of them make that big of an apreciable difference. The VP40 has a beefier slide which I'm sure will handle the round just fine. I browse hkforum and have heard of no problems with them.

I have the fullsize 40 and i have shot the USPc 40. I thought the compact was softer shooting, but the sight radius and slide weight of the fullsize is faster to get back on target.

The gun may be able to "handle" 40, but I doubt it will be as durable as the buffer guns. The buffers are designed to increase frame longevity too.

This isn't quite HK but could I get a rundown on some of the MP5 clone manufacturers? I'm aware of POF, MKE, Omega, and Brethren within a reasonable price range.

>>34309187

That being said I agree, the forum can be very circlejerky

>>34309184
I'm going to carry it in a drop leg/thigh holster. I want a 2nd gun because My usp 45 which i currently CC doesn't have the capacity required by my employer.

>>34309277
So what capacity do you need? I know that any of the metal magazine 9/40s can take the VP/P30 mags.

I would recommend the P2000 or P30L

>.45
Lmao good luck penetrating any barriers or hitting a moving Target when you're shooting at sub 900fps dumbfuck. If you think .45 is anything but an outdated meme range toy you're a fucking imbicile, 45faggots are like toddlers who can only see "BIG BULLET GOOD" and you don't know shit about ballistics or how hydrostatic shock works. You realize that it was made like 150 years ago when people didn't know shit about how to make bullets right? And don't get me started on 1911s. 45fudds are worse than revolverfags, do you know any military that uses fuddyfive anymore? No? Yeah there's a reason for that, it's because its a hillbilly round and has fucking shit capacity, velocity and takes at least 4 seconds to ever get a *decent* follow-up shot. Honestly I understand, you probably get pee-pee hard whenever you shoot your "big bullet" meme gun, but it's not viable for any serious use (self defense, special forces etc.) so stop acting like it. this isn't a game, you're not on grandpa Bill's ranch, this is real life so how about you grow up and start acting like it. YEEEHAWW, I hate you fuds so god damn much

>>34309309

>>34309277
That's interesting

I'd get a p30, the L is really just going to slow your draw. The difference in sight radius and recoil is negligible. I would advise against a thigh holster. I thought they were badass until I took one on a hiking trip. They're uncomfortable and unnatural to draw from. Just go raven/ bravo OWB and never look back.

>>34309128
I don't think the buffer is responsible for dampening that much recoil. That said, I didn't realize that the VP series didn't have these. Worth pointing out.

Front serrations suck even more shit since who the fuck really uses the front serrations other than operator wannabe faggots? I mean even with real military tier 1 whatevers, do they really give 2 fucks about front serrations on their pistols? Let alone HK's shallow as fuck serrations?

USP and ski ramp p99 are the most aesthetic polymer framed pistols ever created.

If the rear serrations don't work, use the indent on the slide near the chamber to do press checks OP. That being said the fcs on the hk45 or hk45c don't bother me at all since they actually look pretty natural on the slide. FCS on a 1911 trigger me big time though, unless they look like this

>>34309392
but they can be a tad bit more sharp.
I am cursed with sweaty palms, and there are times when the unsharp USP serrations just don't have enough purchase and I find myself overhanding the son of a bitch.

The USP45 series is my favorite gun of all time. I switch between the P01 and USP45c for carrying, the Tactical is my HD and SHTF pistol.

>>34308906
Get the PTR over DSA. Build an FAL or buy a build. Don't buy Century.

>>34307413
I made a choice between the HK45 and the USP, and I choose the USP. The trigger reach on the HK45 was too shallow for me, and would cause me to dip down and to the left. So since the big selling point for the gun was ergonomics, and I wasn't with that I chose the USP. At the time I had no intention of ever using the USP as anything other than a range toy, so the rail wasn't a selling point for me. Then I shot the gun better than my glocks and decided to switch to HKs.

Is the P30 a drop in barrel?

Like I don't have to buy a new slide if I wanted a threaded barrel, right?

Is the Mark 23 really as unwieldy as it looks?
I want a USP or Mark 23 as a range toy, but I could also see myself using it as a nightstand gun once I get a can.
Most of what I hear is that the Mark 23 is slightly better as a range toy because of the huge barrel, but everything else is fucked, and the USP basically does the same for less.
