now if that dont warm the cockles of yer heart...................nothing will .
200rds sitting on deck READY TO BE LAUNCHED! you should feel the difference in a bagged recoil spring and a new one. mmmmmmyummy! its freeking xmas in may for me! NOTHING says "honey i will be busy tonight shooting a match like, a MATCH BUILT HK USP .45!" so thats how ya take a good deal police trade-in and make into something you can be proud of. and yes that IS a LAZAR(laser) BEAM DEATH RAY along with UTL/INSIGHT HK light. both fit on my compacts and full size frames.

Odd one....that is a beautiful thing! Nice way to kick off a Cinco De Mayo morning! Would you mind telling us what that cost you all in? I would love to have one just like it, but it sounds like it took a fair amount of modification to get it to that uberized level. Give us the full story on that particular spoon from acquisition to its current state.

ok off the top of my head. crap it IS CINCO DE DRINKO! i damn forgot!
mmmmmm TACOS! anyway once again off the top of my head........... HK USP F .45 po-po trade-in cdnnsports.com $539 match o-ring barrel-$239 thread protector $13 match trigger $79 factory installed. this is the majority of springs. match adjustable night sights-optics planet $129shipped new recoil springs (2) factory installed ship to hk georgia fed ex overnight (federal mandate/law) $90 entire cost from hk georgia-$184.27 that included match trigger install/proof fire/new left side variant one decocker lever(old one was scruffy). and overnight shipping back to my grubby lil hands. thats it! oh yeah hk coffee cup $7.00. armorers manual i think was $20 looking for the HK USP Full size match weight for front end as i write. there are oem's out there that im sure cost a wad and there are aftermarket match weights that cost less. for compacts the factory match weight/muzzle comp is rare as hens teeth from HK factory. UTL INSIGHT light was like $139 years ago. fits full and compacts. crimson trace lazar(laser) beam death ray was $143 out the door. fits full and compacts. about the only problem we have run into so far and we have somewhat rectified by using a heat gun is stretching the blackhawk SERPA holster to fit front HIGHER sight. front higher sight mucho beneficial if ya intend to buy a "can"(suppressor) in the future. hope that helps. im stoked to go launch 200 rds as fast as i can and then tear it all apart for cleaning and lube. i'll post some target pics if i can. sam at HK georgia with OEM barrel(not match barrel) was slamming 1/2" groups @25yds with winchester FMJ white box ammo. so hopefully the match barrel will improve groups.

forgot to mention:
hk factory extended mag release. hkparts.com $24.95. brain dead simple retard install(if i can do it anyjuan can) and they are damn nice. after installing (1) in about 1.75 minutes, i liked the feel so much and simplicity of dropping a mag..............i ordered (2) more for my other usp's and it took me: 1.5 minutes to install them! just got a tip from hkpro.com about the threaded barrel thread protectors possibly loosening. grabbed me a couple o-rings and fitted them over end of threaded barrel and found the size i need, and placed it on 1st, then installed thread protector onto barrel and snugged up to o-ring so it stays on under repeated full mag DUMPS! its a left hand thread so it aint righty tighty -lefty loosey.

oh by the way. if any of you think what I DID WAS SPENDY???????????
go find yerself(yourself) a brand NEW IN BOX UNFIRED HK USP FULL SIZE MATCH .45 and watch yer bunghole go to pucker power 20! then go look at STI match pistols or kimber matches or springfield matches or wilson? holy ned! the secret to HK ownership and making money on them is buying when the model 1st comes out. no ifs and or butts. just choke on the price and DO IT before they are all gone. hk fabrik is damn smart just like porsche fabrik. they make incredible QC vehicles and firearms. they make them(most) in SHORT #'s, and then the prices go up. hk p9s .45 combat which i bought for $700 just went out da door at $1800! nothing special. box/target/spare mags. hk p9s 9mm combat that i bought for $500, just went for $1180. once again nothing special matching box/target/coupla mags. both of mine are like %98-99% NRA EXCELLENT! i robared the 9mm and left the .45 alone. dont believe me? take a look at HK4's which have skyrocketed the last few years in 380 32 25 22. and i stole mine. including my NIB UNFIRED 100 yr aniv HK4 380/.22 in nice fuzzy purple velvet lining. mines i think #51 of a ONLY a 1000 made. so in ending, look for anything MATCH/TACTICAL/ELITE and grab them why ya can in any caliber. they will all go up alot sooner than ya realize. crap sp-89's are now going for $5000 bucks! HK-94's $5000! then look at the HK P9S TARGET models in 9mm and .45 and watch yer bunghole pucker X100000! YEEEEE-OUCH!
