New to the family!

Picked this up yesterday! My first HK, I originally went in to get an FNX, but they had this right beside it for nearly the same price.... Couldn't say no

Very nice addition, have you made it to the range yet?

 

[nebeel]

Considering my range is my back yard, yes Although, I haven't really put it through any thorough paces yet, just a mag or two so far.

You know, for a full size gun, it's actually not too hard to conceal either. Sitting it side by side with my CZ P-01 which is my primary carry gun, it's not THAT much bigger. I'm thinking once I'm comfortable with it, I may put it in rotation and see how it works out. Just have to find a good comfortable holster now.

Good choice. The USP 40 is still one of my favorite semi autos. Also super reliable, the only time I have got mine to jam was when the magazine was full of sand.

It's a good one. German military uses 9x19 version of that called P8 and we all know 'Fritzies' take their guns very seriously. I would take that over FN product too. I do like their chocs and ice cream but when it comes to handguns I prefer those from other countries.

That's great, I'm counting on getting the same reliability on mine as well. The only thing that surprised me (not sure why I didn't notice it before) was that the mags are all plastic? Has that been an issue anywhere before?

 

[56hawk]

Never heard of any problems with the magazines. There is a steel insert for the feed lips and the rest of the magazine shouldn't have much stress on it.

I think you made the right choice

How do you like the mag release?

 

[nebeel]

Mag release will take a bit of getting used to, but I think it's a good design. Allows you to drop the mag from the right hand side without changing how your thumb grips the gun.
