Ok, to start off with, this was completely my fault for not checking my equipment more carefully before hand, I am not blaming the USP or HK.
I was shooting at the range and ejected a magazine from my USP 45 full size, I then attempted to load another magazine but the bottom of the slam pad on the magazine (12 rounders) must have been loose and came apart when I slammed the mag into the mag well. The result was 12 rounds of 45 acp falling on the floor with the magazine still in the gun, but the slam pad, spring, follower on the ground. Using this as a chance for more pratice I attempted to eject the what was left of the magazine, and to my surpise it shot right out of the mag well! I then loaded a spare magazine I had in my mag pouch and continued shooting. All of this occurred in about 2 - 3 seconds (not including the shooting).
I was able to easily reassemble the magazine, in fact it was the most easily assembled magazine I have hever seen. I shot about 60 more rounds out of the that magazine that range session with no issues whatsoever. I have to say even though it was a bad experience it strengthened my trust in the robust functionality of the USP overall.
