The HK-USP-45 is my favorite carry gun. I am, and will always be, a 1911 fan and I still have Colt's Government Models in my EDC rotation. All in .45ACP. I carry +P in the Governments and Super in my USPs. My muscle memory works as well with one as the other. My USP 45s are more difficult to shoot well, but once I learned how, it made me a better all around handgun shooter. I can consistently hit a 10" steel plate at 70 yards with either weapon and I never did that before learning how to shoot my USPs. I carry both weapons cocked and locked and I have yet to de-cock my USP when thumbing the safety during the draw. In my opinion, being concerned with doing that under duress is overthinking it. Excellent video BTW. I look forward to more of your offerings.
Very nice video presentation on one of my favorite firearms! I know the USP series may be considered ‘outdated’ by some, but to me they are simply timeless, functional, reliable, and ultra-trustworthy! Thank you sir! 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with the HK USP through this great vid! I own six HK DA/SA pistols and love every one of them. I recently picked up a new full-size in .40 S&W and the build quality is impeccable. They truly are legendary firearms.
I owned a full size in 40 and a compact in 9mm and foolishly sold both. Two guns I wish I would have never even considered selling. I'm finished with that selling game though, any guns I buy now will be passed down to my kids!
You can buy the HK 5-6 detent plate & convert it to straight cocked & locked (with no chance of decocking under stress) if you are so inclined. It’s an easy swap. Starting in 2003 I took some firearms classes over the years, the instructor being former British SF. He said the same thing that you did about accidental decocking under stress.
@@conspicuouslyinconspicuous427 - I want the 3-4 detent plate, that will make my HK45 compact & USP .40 compact a decocker only! I'm okay with decocking, just might wanna get rid of the manual safety on the compact carry guns. Thanks for your input, sir!
@@PoeOutdoors Yeah man! Only buy, never sell. I only buy new guns (I know that not everyone will choose to do that). I just don't like the potential that a used gun might have hurt someone, or that if I sell a gun, that my gun will hurt someone else. If I use it to protect someone, then that's something that was a necessity. Another person using my gun with ill will isn't an option. FOR ME. You do you.
Love my bulky, boxy USP45 with the ridiculously long trigger. I carry it often and can’t figure out why it’s one of my top five favorite guns. 🤷♂️ H&K USP45 - Almost Perfect! ruclips.net/video/4b2sw710iwQ/видео.html
Great video, well done! There is just something about the USP series that makes it unique, and it goes well beyond the features. By the way, I sent you an Instagram message as I couldn't find your email. I have a compensator discussion video on my channel and I would like to get one to you for testing and review. I will share my email info if you reply to the message.
I have a 95' that I bought brand new in 2000. I have mine converted to V9. Which is no decocker. Just replace the safety plate to a 5+6. You can manually lower the hammer and fire double first shot, but no decocking function. I did that to keep from decocking it during firing.
Great gun! I let one get away when I was a young pup, still need to get another and hold on to it, I have the 9mm, and edc HK usp compact 9mm most day (hence the name Jack Bauer) but once I get my PX4 storm compact it will have a run for it’s money. But the HK USP 45 is on my bucket list, should be in funds next year.
@@PoeOutdoors yeah I’m excited to give one a try, I’m a believer in compensators ever since I bought and shot the CR920P, it’s amazing how much of a difference they make and one with out attaching to the barrel would make life so much easier! Thank you for bringing these great products to light! Glad to see some great innovation from some Indiana boys.
I have the P30 V1 LEM trigger. I love the grips on it. I'm looking into the USP Elite in 45. Not sold on it yet. The HK45 looks amazing also. I can't decide yet. 😂
I just started my HK collection with a P30L Light LEM, and after firing the USP .45 & HK45 side by side - it’s the USP - hands down. The recoil was the deciding factor, and that’s what won the pistol showdown. And that is my suggestion - go and compare them side be side, and pick the one that suits you 😬
You need to talk about the ink on your right arm there, looks awesome! I have five HK's and three are USP's, one P30SK LEM and one VP9 optics ready w/long slid kit added later and never had one FTF or FTE on any of them. If you ever get a chance to get/shoot a 45 Tactical jump on it just for the match trigger, and adjustable sights, and threaded barrel. HK stands for Hammers are King! and are worth every penny.
I am about to add my 5th HK to my collection. I have a P30SK LEM. A USP 45, a USP 45 Elite, and a Mark 23. Just put the HK of all HKs on layaway a few days ago and I can't stand the anticipation.
My only experience with HK has been the VP9 series which are solid choices for striker pistols. I’m patiently awaiting the VP9CC micro compact. Nice review, great to see the firearm content.
Thank you, I will be posting some new content and appreciate the support. I'm a huge VP9 fan and I am 100% on board with the CC model. HK has held the patent for a few years now, fingers crossed we see it at Shot Show.

@@PoeOutdoors 45 caliber usp too rough and 45 don't belong in handgun. Jammed all the time. Especially the competition one. 9mm is the only good one. Socom and this usp 45 were just problematic. 9mm recommended. Not good for long term use the 45.

I don't know how anyone could find the HK USP ugly. It's iconic and super sexy.

Superb firearm! The paddle mag release is terrific! reliable beyond anything out there and ACCURATE!
I have three USP45’s.
All milled for RMR. Beasts.

Langdon Tactical fixed the trigger and gave it a short reset, along with an optics cut.

Got mine outfitted with 45 Super for my domesday pistol. Eventually want to add the 6” match barrel with the comp and max it to its full potential.
Kenneth, did you have to bump the recoil spring up in weight for the 45 Super?
Great gun!

Try the V9 plate. All three of my USP45s run cocked and locked and are single action only with that plate.
Any update?
Running like a champ, ball and various hollow points. 👊🏼

Usp or 1911
1911s are timeless, but for me it’s the USP for the reliability and ease of care.
Have both. Carry the 1911 way more often. The USP T Is a Big bitch.
I have the expert.
Is it wrong that I'm touching myself right now?
Mine was terrible
What was "terrible"?
