    That's a scam website.

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    I'll have to disagree with this - I'd really hate to have to break my shooting grip to operate the pistol. Luckily, with my slightly larger than average hands I can easily reach the controls of pretty much any service pistol, HK USP 45 and 1911s included.

    Sounds like 43X with S15 15 round magazines is what you're looking for.

    SCOTUS Declines to Block Illinois AWB

    Does the ISP have a some type of registry or database, where it can look up who purchased what and when it was purchased?

    Flying to a Connecticut with a Gun + Firing a Gun in Connecticut which isn’t Registered in your Name

    Most if not all do and there's no requirement to pass a background test or have any licenses to rent a firearm (or purchase ammo with a rental) at a range in CT.

    Anyone Get Black Nose From an Indoor Range?

    If the range has poor ventilation, it is normal (and not healthy). I'd recommend finding a range with better ventilation and shooting plated or jacketed bullets instead of cast lead indoors to reduce your lead exposure.

    9mm +P+ Federal (9bple)

    There's actually precisely one NATO standard that defines 9mm NATO ammunition; STANAG AOP 4090. It is a longer document but in a nutshell: test barrel: 7.8", 1:10 twist bullet weight: 108 to 128 grains (inclusive) coal: 1.138" to 1.169" kinetic energy at the muzzle: 400 to 600 ft.lbs pressure...

    Any practical reason to go over .45 caliber for EDC? *Read 1st post*

    I really don't think so, especially if qualifying with a .45 ACP / .45 Long Colt allows you to carry a .44 Magnum. What is the course of fire like and what kind of target is used?

    Happy 30th Birthday to the H&K USP!

    Well, your comments seem to indicate otherwise when you claim that the USP is the "heaviest" pistol ever made, when in fact the unloaded weight is almost precisely the same as the Glock 23 (less than an ounce difference, if I recall correctly). Son, I can guarantee you're not the only one on...

    Happy 30th Birthday to the H&K USP!

    Sounds like you have small & weak hands and have never shot a Ruger P85 or a 2nd generation S&W autoloader ;)

    Happy 30th Birthday to the H&K USP!

    Ok, would you be so kind to tell us, which of those countries / military units on the list no longer use the USP?

    Is my Man Card in Jeopardy? .375 H&H Mag is too much for me

    You've got it! That's a nice rifle :thumbup: Doesn't look like stock the stock has a lot of drop, so should be pretty good for managing recoil.

    Happy 30th Birthday to the H&K USP!

    Well, multiple law enforcement agencies and military units in plus twenty countries is not exactly a short list and Bundeswehr alone is close to 200,000 active-duty military personnel.

    Is my Man Card in Jeopardy? .375 H&H Mag is too much for me

    I thought SR4759 was discontinued some years ago.

    Is my Man Card in Jeopardy? .375 H&H Mag is too much for me

    Your card is in some jeopardy ;) I have two Sako .375 H&H rifles, a L691 Hunter with a 24" barrel and a M995 carbine with a 19.5" barrel, and I have to say that the stock geometry makes a big difference in felt recoil. The M995 is more pleasant to shoot despite being quite a bit lighter. For...

    Gaetz introduces 'Abolish the ATF Act' after ruling against stabilizing braces

    This is actually how some European parliaments (the Finnish parliament for example) operate - a proposed law is vetted by a Constitutional committee before it goes on the floor for a vote.

    Happy 30th Birthday to the H&K USP!

    Product development was happening approximately around the same time for both pistols, but the USP came to the market in 1993, whereas first Mark 23s were delivered in 1996.
