Any HK fans

[Killians]

I have got a HK USP 40 ss Full size

One of the best guns i have ever bought.

A little spendy but well worth it. Actually i got mine for cost plus
20 bucks. A great deal.

any other HK owners out there, i would like to know
how you like your HK. I really want a Mark 23. but still
out of my price range.

I have a USP .40 Compact. Got it from an Oakland police officer for just shy of four bills. Its a hoot to shoot, and reliable too. I don't quite like how it handles, but thats a function of the .40 S&W cartredge and the short barrel. I can't shoot it as accurately as I'd like, and it takes a little too long to get in follow-up shots for my taste. Not a bad piece though--easy to field strip and quite ergonomic. Probably the only problem with it is that it is the wrong gun for what I do.

I like them a lot, but I won't pay the price they ask for them.

[Killians]

I have not shot a compact, only held one. Was a little small I thought. Full-size is great.

Yeah, under $400 is not bad. Is it true they are not going to be producing the ones with the stainless slide anymore?

[Killians]

From my understanding this is true. There will be no more made. I belive last year was the last year. There are a few out there still. ( Full size). I believe they are still makeing the compact in SS.
Which is cool this makes my Full size ss worth more. (i hope)

Yeah, I just pulled up a catalaog from CDNN. Standard size is $600. I'd love to have one, but I just can't do it.

Yeah 400 is a good price, expecially with all the factory goodies AND being in 99-100% condition. Its' a good little gun, although I don't shoot it much. I don't have a brick of 40 S&W at home.

[Killians]

even though i dont care for the compact much. (due to the fact i have big hands) Id still pay 400 bones for one !!!

I've also got a USP compact 40. I like the size and the ergonomics work well for a lefty. It's well made and very reliable. I've just not been able to shoot it as well as my other semis. I was expecting the USP to be super-easy to shoot like my HK P9S, but not so (and the P9S decocking lever isn't easy to accommodate left-handed!). My compact trigger's is fairly heavy and has some creep, not at all like my P9S trigger which is light and smooth. Luck of the draw, I guess.....my kid has an compact (consecutive s/n's) and his trigger has hardly any creep at all.

I still like it though, just a little disappointed I can't shoot it better.

[Killians]

wierd ?

I have no problems at all with the trigger. In
fact i have had Zero problems with my 40.

Yes I like H & K pistols but I currently do not have any. On New Years Day my sons full size 40 bent the ejector and separated a case head. On Valetine's Day, my full size 9
developed a crack in the slide near the ejector port. Both were taken to a smith the same day they developed problems and still no guns. The ejector has been ordered and the 9 was sent back to the factory (in Feb.) and I wait. I have been told that HK is very slow. :(

I had a full size USP-40 at first I liked it alot but the checkering on the grip seemed awfly rough and my middle finger kept rubbing on the trigger guard when I shot it and would leave a mark after a box or two of ammo. It would actually hurt after shooting. It became a safe queen.

A year or so later I wanted to simplify my ammo supply and reduce the types of hand gun ammo I needed so I got rid of 40S&W in favor of 45ACP and traded the HK for a Para-Ordanace 14-45LDA. I am much happier with the Para.

I have to say after about 1000 rounds the USP never let me down it was and is a good pistol just not for me. I paid $540 over 5 years ago.
