the USP's come in many FLA-VORS!
fullsize regular usp
fullsize tactical w/threaded barrel
and usp compact tactical .45 which is the above picture
go to hkde.com i think and look at barrel lengths and weights
obviously when you get any "COMPACT" model your round count goes down.
ying yang.
for daily carry..............hands down either the 9mm/40/45 compacts
for general match work and higher round count the fullsize models.
theres some real cool articles/reviews of guys buying the threaded barrels NOT for suppressor use, but for the 4 prong flash hider/compensators. they state that its a hell of alot nicer to shoot, less recoil and TIGHTER GROUPS using quality ammo. i havent tried one but its on my list.
now i have not found surfing around the original HK FACTORY compensator (ala on the HK FULLSIZE MATCH model) listed anywhere. so that may be rare as hens teeth.
remember up above an original NIB HK FULL SIZE MATCH .45 just went out gunbroker for $3500 bucks.
so to make one of these PO PO tradeins into a shooter...................it doesnt take much.
go to hkparts.com(adam webber up in salt lake), he aint cheap but NOTHING IS EVER CHEAP on an HK, and go to top left of opening page. click on pistol parts. then click on HK USP .45. thats the full size version. 9 variants available(all can be changed to your choice by an qualified hk armorer or hk georgia), and check out all the goodies available along with spares.
when ya only got one spoon its easy to go whole hawg on it. when ya got alot of spoons TO FEED.................well ya tend to be a cheap azz, and look for deals that are simple to upgrade and get MORE BANG FER BUCK!
i'll post pics of mine when i receive from cdnnsports, just as it came out of the box.
hell i expect holster wear already on slide of this one i just bought, but thats why we have ROBAR here. when its done getting NP3'd the slide will look EXACTLY LIKE a STAINLESS SLIDE from the HK factory, same as my daily carry hk usp compact 9mm.
re: ROBAR............check their website monthly. each month they run specials. on these hk's its called the "NORTON SPECIAL" as obviously its a polymer frame which doesnt get anything done to it. basically slide and ALL INTERNALS, slide release, etc. get done. it will never FREEZE on you, cleanup is 100x easier, salt water, diesel fuel,avgas, impervious. this is exactly what process is used on ALL SOCOM/SEAL weapons. i swear by it and the rickster(rick lee) likes it also.
