The Great HK Showoff Thread

USP 9 and USP 45C

Wow!

Thanks SB, guys. I love dem H&K critters. Some greta pics too.

SteyrAug, do you have the "optional box magazine and drum feed mechanism" for your HK21E ??

Got a feed box but it gets in the way, I usually fire from the shoulder. And I like the look and sound of the belt dragging in the dust behind me.

Really unerves the people trying to hide from me.

Also, did you pay full "today" prices for that , or did you buy it when they were around 4K (or less) , if you don't mind me asking ?

I don't think there is a "today" price, I haven't seen one offered in some time. Mine is privately held (not a dealer sample) and I got about 14K into it. Probably worth a bit more today.

Too lazy to take more pictures.

Skunk: Gunhead, where's the P2000?

Yeah, I know it's a shame... I wrote an article about it, then I sold it.



If I ever get another one that will be the variant without the decocker and with the 20 Newton CDA config.

hk fest at the range

last night at the range the guy next to me had a whole bag of hk weapons
sl-8
usc-45 carbine
couple of usp's
and a few I couldnt identify,they were shooting rounds and brass all over the place,had at leat 300 rounds for each firearm and spent at least 4 hours there shooting at targets of saddam.hk makes some really good looking firearms,and I didnt notice not one ftf,fte,or any other malfunctions the whole time they were there.
man,I gotta get me a few.

For those with the compact .45

I'm recoil sensitive, but handle my Beretta 9mm Ms without a hitch. I'm just curious what the kick on the compact H&K .45 is like given that's it's a small gun with a bigger caliber. Anyone?

God I hate this state...:banghead:

USP 45 compact

I personally don't think recoil is all that bad on the 45C. I actually think HK's idea of "Compact" is a little skewed- it's nearly the same size as my full size USP 9mm.

The Colt Defender... now that kicks, and is much smaller than the HK.

I've shot my USPs alot & have some trigger time w/ a couple USPc 45's. From what I can tell there's not much difference between the two. The compact does have a little more muzzle flip, but no big deal...esp. if you practice

Are the compacts affordable? I know the full size can be costly but if I could buy that too, I would. As I said, I'm not too concerned with the recoil. I would practice a lot by the way. Just wondered if a .45 has a really big bang or similar in feel to the 9mm. Thanks. Now, if only I could convince H&K to sell here I'd be golden.

Hi Mastrogiacomo!
I find the USPc in .45 to be a very comfortable shooter - it's my carry piece when I'm not packing a wheelgun. It fits in my dinky girlie hands well - the area between the thumb/finger is thin enough to make the grip secure & comfortable.

The "bang", when compared to a 9mm is "different", but not any worse for me. It seems less "snappy" and is more of a "push."

The USPc normally runs around $700 in my area. It's high for a Tuppergun (and high for me), but when I was searching for a new carry piece (after a disappointing experience with the previous one), I didn't care. I don't put a price tag on my life, and I definitely don't regret buying it.

Doesn't CDA= LEM here in the states ??

When I paid for my Beretta compacts, they came to slightly over six hundred considering the state tax was factored in. I don't mind saving for a good gun, but just curious how it would feel to use one in the .45 caliber. Looking forward to finding out first hand though... Appreciate the info. Now I'm really jealous!

If anyone is intersted CDNN Investments have Full Size USPs in 40 S&W for about $399.99 and stainless for $429.99.

Skunk: Gunhead, what do you mean? I don't know anything of the CDA, etc.

The CDA (Combat Defence Action) version of the P2000 has no decocker and the trigger pull weight is always the same. The standard P2000 has a heavier trigger pull after decocking. The trigger travel is identical on all models.

I fired both versions, but I recommend the CDA. More simple and elegant, the decocker is IMHO pointless on the P2000 - unless you are (let's say) an average cop with just basic firearm handling skills, or you want to convert the pistol to traditional DA/SA.

Tell me about it -- and it hurts too. When I get working, maybe I can afford to move where the restrictions aren't so hardcore like they are in Massachusetts. The only three guns that have appeal for me are the Berettas, H&K and Sig. I can get a P220 but it kills me to no end that the H&K and Cougars are out of reach. Where's that winning lottery ticket when you need it?
