Hi guys,

I stopped by the local gun shop on the way home from work, and they've got a HK USP45 used for $540. It looked and felt good (I've never fired a USP full size in 45, only in 40), but I am green to this world and wondered if that sounds about right for a used USP.

I only own one other handgun - a SA 1911 that I absolutely love.

Any feedback and advice will be most greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Depends...what does it come w/? If it's gun only, that might be a bit steep but, if it has n/s, or a couple mags, or even a couple standard cap mags, case, manual...maybe a holster, extra ammo or any combo of the aforementioned items, it would be a very attractive deal....
I love my USPs and recommend them highly...esp the 45 :D

I recall it coming with a 10-round mag and perhaps a box. Seemed like a good deal, but I don't know that I know enough to know that...:o

Tear it down, look for abnormal wear. If it looks sound and doesn't look like it was shot much, definitely get it.

I just paid $550 for a USPf .45 w/ 3 10 rd magazines. 200 rds through it. I thought I did ok, but $450 would be a pretty good price IMO. Especially since the USP 45 is usually more expensive than the 40 and 9mm USPs.

CDNN has NIB USPf pistols in 45acp for $672,so as long as this one looks to be in Very good/excellent/like new condition,that is not a bad price.Not the deal of the year,but a decent price.HK guns tend to hold their value more than some,they are a very well built pistol.You can always try to get the shop owner to toss in an extra mag or a holster or something,that always makes it feel better...:D
