    When I was a police officer in a cleveland, ohio suburb, we switched from the Smith & Wesson 5906 to the HK USP .45 in 2001. In the 11 years I worked there with that firearm as the department issued sidearm, we had “0” reported range failures or malfunctions. The entire HK line are Amazing firearms. Triggers arent the greatest, but they will all go bang everytime you squeeze the trigger.

      After my agency’s switchover from revolvers to bottom feeders, I carried the S&W model 39-2 while in uniform. As soon as a business suit took the place of an obvious P.O. Uniform I began to carry my 1911. Near the end of my career I switched to the HK USP .40 Compact. Along with my Les Baer & S&W model 66 the three are currently in my EDC rotation.

I run Tula 115 fmj 99% of the time for practice ammo and have had few problems. Maybe 1 failure to fire in 1000 rounds(even after second strike on the primer) excellent power and accuracy in all my 9mm pistols. I will continue to buy it as long as it's available.

    Chris/Honest Outlaw, you may be unaware of this. I have been following you for years. You seem to miss a shot or two when Mrs. Outlaw is moving the camera in your peripheral view. I assume you can not correct for this as your, mine, anyone is unconsciously going to notice/be disturbed to some extent by movement in your peripheral. In your case and many shooters , possibly because we train for situational awareness so, we have trained ourselves to pay attention to movement in our peripheral view.
    Dude, that being said, you are a hell of a shooter, put most to shame.

    You can get a jet funnel and 18 rnd mags for faster reloads and more capacity. They help balance the gun better, and the 18 rnd mags being weighted help dropping them on reloads. Hk parts makes +5 base plates to take you to up to 20 rnds but I’m not sure if they work with the jet funnel if you go that route.

    HK USP 45 full size was the first handgun I bought back in the late 90's. Fell in love with HK after that. The worst part of this gun is the magazine springs. I replace mine every couple years. The best modification you can do to this gun is changing out the DA/SA trigger to the light LEM. Lighter trigger pull and shorter reset. It's an easy factory modification you can do in about 15 min.

    • @RocketPropelledGuy
      @RocketPropelledGuy 2 года назад +1

      I can provide a bit of explanation for this. The recoil spring assembly is different on the .45 Tactical, Expert and Elite (which is the most ridiculous one, but also the coolest one. I mean, *look at it!*). It is much heavier total spring weight than a regular full size. If you remove the captured recoil spring assembly and compare it to a regular .45 full size recoil spring you will see a cosmetic difference at the rear most portion where it hooks into the underside of the barrel, there is a noticable cut that travels the circumference of that area of the recoil spring assembly. That indicates that is the heavier recoil spring assembly that is exclusive to those. I think it's inclusion on the Expert and Elite is silly but on the Tactical it is of merit. Shooting a suppressed handgun will be exposing the recoil spring assembly and by extension every other part of the pistol assembly to much higher operating pressures.
      Or maybe you know all of this already. I have absolutely no idea. That could be an explanation. Without more info it is mere muse.

    I was waiting for an interview about this pistol, thank you ! I first shot the HK Expert back in 2002. Fell in love but back then I couldn’t afford one. Finally was able to pick one up with the “jet funnel” 10 years ago. Easily one of my absolute favorite pistols to shoot. It’s chunky, the ergos aren’t the greatest but it’s an amazingly soft shooter with outstanding accuracy.

    Great video! I have an H&K USP Compact .45 ACP that I bought in 2000. It is the most accurate pistol I own and has NEVER malfunctioned with over 3500 rds through it. Because of that gun, I bought a P30 SK with the light LEM trigger for my EDC. I have about 1700 rds through it now and have had NO malfunctions and this pistol is also very accurate.

    Great video Chris & Mrs. Outlaw and yes, you’re impressive too! Edit: just secured mine this morning! Also, if you can find one they seem to be going for $1299-$1400. I paid $1414 for mine. Like you said, it’s all about how bad you want it. Quick update: Picked her up this morning, and wow! I've never shot a pistol so accurately in my life, and I absolutely love the trigger; very, very smooth. The grip is the worst thing about it; not very ergonomic. I grabbed the jet funnel kit, a few of the 18 round mags, the GG&G rail adapter, a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight (I actually really like the stock sights though, but a fiber optic front will complete it), and some granular Talon Grips (grip is a little slippery when the sweat starts). Such an iconic and cool pistol!

    I will never spend my money on a USP. The H&K USP in .40 cal was my duty gun for over 10 years. It was by far the worst pistol I've ever shot. It was overly heavy. Terrible ergonomics. And the trigger was an atrocious 10 pound gritty pull. The pistol had way more recoil impulse than other comparable manufacturers. Everyone in our department had constant malfunctions with them. Typically, stove pipes and double feeds. Our weapons were all held to H&K's maintenance schedule. The only thing good I could say about the pistol is that once the bullet left the gun, they were pretty accurate. I, and most everyone in our department, hated the gun. It put me off for the USP for life.

    I never shot this pistol, but did get an opportunity to shoot the HK 45 Tactical, that we rented with a suppressor. It shot extremely well and the best part is the 45 ACP ammo doesn’t need a special type of ammo to run suppressed. HK does makes some great pistols, but I was disappointed with the PK30 after your review, so I took it off my wish list.

    @Honest Outlaw, if you liked the Expert, you should try the Elite and you will adore it. It is going one notch beyond even the Expert. Right now the only place to get an Elite in 9mm is GB.
    For the magazine capacity, you have an Expert model without the Jet Funnel. You can add one to the pistol and then use the special 18 round magazines. As the Jet Funnel is like an extension and magwell, it will give you more to hold on.
    For the trigger reset, Grayguns have an aftermarket short reset system that will cut the distance the trigger has to travel forward noticeably. You should try that once you are done with the 1000 round review.
    For the softest shooting USP, IMHO that would be an USP 45 with Elite or Expert conversion upper to 9mm from HK directly.

    My H&K USP 9 was the second pistol I added to my collection. I got mine for new for about $950 at the time. Beautiful firearm. The beefy slide adds some recoil in the 9mm version in my opinion but maybe that’s just me. I considered selling it during hard financial times a bunch of years ago but couldn’t let it go, it’s too nice. Still holds up extremely well compared to today’s polymer-frame handguns.

    • @lancehobbs8012

      Adds recoil ? A heavier gun and mechanism reduces recoil. The same .357 mag round fired out of a tiny little 5 shot snub nose wheelgun is about 3x the felt recoil of the exact same round fired out of a big heavy desert eagle . The weight and heavy slide soak the recoil RIGHT up.
