The HK USP .45 is the only handgun I have owned since 2001. How obsolete is it now?

Handguns haven't really gone obsolete for over 100 years now, they just get better ammo and a more efficient size package.

>>64811796
You already identified the make, model and caliber. Are you too retarded to censor your serial number, or to post the side of the gun that doesn't have a serial number?
No. You're just noguns larping which is much worse.

it went from the handgonne to the matchlock arquebus/musket in about 100 years
the in another hundred it went from the matchlock to the wheellock
them another 100 years from the wheellock to flintlock
then 100 years from flintlock to percussion caps
then 100 years after that we get smokeless power and both automatic and semi automatic rifles
it's been nearly 100 more years since then, where's our next great leap in firearms?

It would have to be some rechargeable energy gun. Even caseless ammo doesn't really increase the effective capabilities of a gun for the average Joe nor reduce the cost to fire it. We're already at the point where a skilled shooter can put 5 shots per second into a person's chest at handgun range, so all that's left to do is figure out how to make those bulletholes bleed more and make the gun easier for a completely untrained ape to use it effectively.

Broadly this. You can still shoot and carry all those designs
>>
>>64812337
lmao the HK45 is a stillbirth. Worse recoil because single spring vs USP/Mark 23 dual-spring setup, same capacity somehow and a grip where they didn't even let you change the side panels like on the VP9.
Easily one of the worst pistols HK has made.

>>64811649
The UC is a retarded design that is explicitly designed for youtuber's that don't like revolvers. The thing is heavier, bigger and with the dumb sights more snaggier than the 442. The perfect pocket revolver already existed but because people can't comprehend they don't need sights at 5 yards, Smith made a model for idiots, the UC. I have no beef with 32 H&R though.

fp is reaching for anything that might be used to argue that the usp is obsolete. ultimately the usp is such a 'solved' example of sidearms that the pistols that came after it (hk45, p2k, vp9, p30) bring only minute ergonomic improvements. USP (and several handguns from its era are/) is basically perfect.
>>
>>64812337
>the USP has been superseded by a much larger gun with worse capacity
Are you retarded? The HK45 is more of a Mark 23 replacement, and it's inferior to that too because it has a bigger grip but only holds 10 rounds instead of 12.
>>64812435

I'm pretty sure most of us explicitly state that we love our USPs and Mark 23s for "second kind of cool" reasons.

Not keep up wit the fashion is a real wrecking ball move
Back in the day way before when it was trouble to red dot a glock my buddy used to get so pissed off at pistol accessorizers
For what a handgun is for extra gizmos do take away from the simplicity of a pistol starting out in a holster in a close quarters ambush
You'll have no time to be fingering lights and aligning perfectly behind a red dot
>>
>>64811528
No, it's a great pistol but it is kind of chunky. Perhaps look into one of the many modern concealed carry pistols to complement it? There have been a lot of tiny 9mm pistols released in the last decade with generous magazine capacity and at least decent shooting characteristics.
>>
>>64813204
I wish they would make a slim version of the P2000SK or P30SK to complement the CC9 (which sucks imo). If they could bring either of them down to 1", heck even 1.0X" wide, I would buy in a heartbeat to have muh micro USP

How's do you compare your USP Compacts? I held one one at my LGS but wasn't entirely sold on it despite loving my USP 45. Maybe it was something about it not being as "compact" as other compact models on the market. But that aside, how do they actually shoot?

I also picked up a old complete 9mm slide (back when the barrels were rifled instead of polygonal) to swap on my USP 40 for shits and grins. Eventually I'd like to buy a standalone 9mm USP Compact just to have all 3 frame sizes.
>>
>>
>>64813514
These are on the same level as that boomer retard that said to not put a suppressor on a Mark 23 because the barrel will snap lmao. The HK45 is the reddest-head step child of all the modern HK pistols. They should scrap the P30 and HK45 and just focus on updating the USP series and VP9.

The 45 shoots amazing, the 9mm is fine too. They're basically the size of a glock 19 and I've shot the 19 and my USPc back to back at the range. The USPc45 is my favorite gun so I'm pretty biased, ngl.
For reference I carry a CZ P01 or G43 when the weather is hot (so all the time, I'm in texas)
>>
>>64813731
Funnily enough, after holding that USPc9 and not really being sold on it immediately, I ended up going with a CZ P01 as well. Interesting that there's some overlap here.
Idk, the more I shoot 9mm, the less and less it does for me desu. Maybe I'd appreciate the USPc45 more than the 9, but that being said, I haven't actually fired either. All I know is that I really love my USP45.
I won't rule out the compact models entirely, but I'll say that I'm still leaning towards upping to a Mark 23 before grabbing a "Compact".
Glad to know that the small difference in size isn't so off-putting to the actual shooting experience though. Maybe I'll change teams later down the line.

Yeah, I get it. I bought the 9mm compact last, its alright but I prefer the P01 when it comes to compact 9mm. The USPc45 is different though, its fun as fuck to shoot and I feel perfectly comfortable carrying it, I just don't want the cops getting their grubby hands on it if I ever have to use it, whereas I can replace the P01 easier.

Every single thing about Glocks bites except for the reliability. They're bulky, the triggers are complete ass, they're ugly, they're overpriced, and wristlets can cause them to jam by being wristlets. Every glock fanboy puts so many aftermarket parts on their glock to make it decent that they only have an original slide and piece of plastic left. OTOH, every single thing about the USP is great except for the rail. It's reliable, it has a nice trigger out of the box, it looks sweet, and even the most limp wristed pantywaisted fag can get it to cycle. USPs would be much more common as carry guns if HK wasn't retarded and made a compact that is actually compact instead of keeping the grip basically exactly the same size and shortening the slide an inch like retards. Glock even repeated this blunder with the 43x which has a G26 size slide but a G19 size grip, and glocktards ate that shit up like siggers ate up the P320.

Which for what? The Mark 23 is unquestionably a better range toy, but unless you're massive or completely autistic you it's useless as a carry gun. I would guess you're not going to carry a USP tactical either, so in that case I'd say just get the Mark 23.
>>
>>64814117
Not that anon, but the HK 45 is objectively worse because it was made for the 2005 gun contract test which was to outfit every single military branch with the same 45. It was made to achieve a price point, not to be a special forces/limited production gun like the USP. You cn stop coping and just admit that the hk45 is worthless compared to the USP full size, whereas the hk45c and usp45 are more comparable

>>64811528
Dots and lights but there's adaptors and people who have figured out the cut for dots.
It's real downside is holster availability. I spent so fucking long looking for a holster for my own USP. Other then the holsters it's a fine pistols if a little dated

Sadly those aren't mine but from the USP master race Reddit and wright's store. I just got out of a minimum wage job and intend to send mine and a EPS for them to mount next month now that I have the capital. From the reviews I've seen it's about 95% of the durability of the original coatings from HK and much better then cerakoat. It obviously is a uniform coating so you're not going to have to worry about color matching.

>>
>>
>>64814623
It's better than the lelkek p11's so if that's good enough for you to call good, more power to you. Every USP I've handled has had the break of a carrot with a long reset. Stoning the sear and swapping the springs will get you a decently crisp break but the reset is a boner killer.

For .45 ACP handguns it's still pretty damn good but the FN 545 is able to hold up to 18 rounds which is insane these days but I can tell the magazine pops out while 12 round mags generally don't.
For .40S&W it's still the best and sometimes I wish I had one
For 9mm it is super obsolete and guns that came before and after it are better.
I mean for a 9mm it's fine but we have the Beretta 92, Glock 19/17, VP9 and plenty of others that do 9mm better
>>
>>64814718
>the FN 545 is able to hold up to 18 rounds which is insane these days
545 with a flush mag holds 15 rounds, that's more relevant. You can get extended mags for a USP as well so the extension is kind of irrelevant. It would be really nice if the Mark 23 had a 15 round flush mag capacity since the grip is nearly identical in size to the FN545

No and no. They fell off roster and I sold one for a hefty sum before I left. I sold the majority of my guns before escaping specifically because they are far more valuable in California than outside of it. Doing this went a long ways towards covering the costs.

Apparently the subcontractor that provided springs for H&K folded, so they started sourcing springs elsewhere and to the CA DOJ that constituted a design change. As a result they yanked the USP series off the roster overnight with no notice. That's the story I heard. They could have just discontinued the USP series for different reasons, but if that's the case they could have kept them on roster until at least the end of the year. A manufacturer can also pay to keep discontinued models on roster after they are out of production as a courtesy so that CA gun owners can continue to bring them in, but that's not super common because it's a waste of their money to do that if they don't intend to bring that model back in the future.

That's interesting I've had the complete opposite experience. In the example I fired, the USP .45 couldn't make it through a single magazine without malfunctioning, while all the Glocks I have ever shot ran flawlessly.

This mindset is what caused me to miss out on a lot of good things when I first started the gun hobby.
Simply looking at things “on paper” instead of actually realizing what makes a gun good is way more complex.
A Glock is superior to essentially every gun if going by the spreadsheet metric of size and weight; that’s literally their whole shtick. They are built very light, minimalistic, and make certain sacrifices in order to achieve best in class size and weight reduction. Glocks best feature is simply being comfortable to wear on your hip all day compared to a lot of other guns.
When it comes to functional shooting, glocks do have low muzzle flip for how light they are, but I still think most other guns that don’t make any compromises to be super light and sleek are better shooters in terms of feel and making accurate shots.
A .45 caliber USP is a better gun overall than a .45 caliber Glock in my opinion.

It's mostly a QoL thing with hot swapping optics. Like if you wanted to try out a holosight or scope a picatinny makes it easy.
>>
>>
>>64820081
I was talking about the USP being unreliable. You can say whatever you want about the USP; bulky for the capacity, trigger isn't great, overpriced, all true. But the second you say "unreliable" you're either lying or you used the most clapped unmaintained examples around. USPs are Glock levels of reliable. If they weren't, I wouldn't own any USPs to go along with my Glocks.
>>
>>64811545
The rail adapter is shit and will fall off with any hard use.
To be updated the USP needs a pic rail and the ability to mount optics. Maybe some slight alterations to allow for greater than 15 rounds would be good too. I wouldn’t wait for it. HK is too autistic to update their classic designs and they haven’t been relevant since the 90s. Sorry

Yes, though be aware like all Hi Powers the extractor is a weak point in the design. I spent $30 on a Browning extractor kit and a thin file and replaced the extractor and spring, its actually one of my favorite guns to shoot.

>>64820107
Use the surefire adaptor then, that shit will never come off. It can also take optics there's a few examples in this thread. If you want an updated USP the p2000, p30, HK45 and the other improvements exist.
>>
>>64820914
Very hard to find. Then you have the headache of finding a working holster. For all that grief you’re better off carrying without a light. Then you have to deal with reduce capacity and extra weight. At that point you may as well carry a Glock since it will just do everything better. I love the look of the USP but it’s incredibly dated at this point

It’s never going to hold a candle to an integrated rail. Enjoy your cope adapter. If it makes you feel better the 92fs is also incredibly outdated. The 1911 is too other than the fact the trigger on it is incredible and the 2011 brings it to a modern era.

Thank You, Sir.
Thats why I bought the HK45, when I wanted my first gun in Gods caliber, in the only beautiful polymer gun I ever saw and decided to buy the USP .40 later even it has the perfect grip for me.
Meanwhile they stopped the production of .40 USPs in Germany - bc very low demand for that caliber.

USP 9 full size or compact?
I'm in California so I can only buy used. I literally went to all the gun stores in my area the past week and found 2 compacts, one of them had the Gray Guns short reset kit and flat trigger, but what I really want is the full size. I also already have a P2000 which is already so similar to the compact that I feel I should just wait to find what I really want.
Thoughts?
>>
>>64829686
The P2000 is quite literally an improved USP compact, including cheaper cost and a functional rail with a slot. I'll never understand why HK decided to discontinue it and still keep the USP Compact going. Get the fullsize if you want variety, or get a compact if you want more-or-less the same thing.

>huge trigger guard
Feature, not a flaw
>terrible trigger reset
Either you're lying or mine just happens to be pretty good.
>low capacity
12 rounds is excellent for a .45 that’s functionally equivalent in size to a beretta 92 but is in fact slightly smaller in some dimensions.
>terrible and expensive mags
The .45 mags are good but yes, expensive
>slide is the size of a barn
It’s not that big

i always think the 21 is one of the best-looking glocks, its just so satisfyingly chonky. will probably get one eventually even though i have absolutely no need for it lol
also nice stippling or checkering or whatever on the frame, who did it?

Not the same anon
You're a pussy, just carry the USP, printing isnt as big of an issue as you think unless you're in a cuck state
>Frozen waste anon but fuck you
>>64813941
You're a pussy too. Telling me if you have to shoot someone you wouldnt want it to be the USP just because you may lose it to the cops? I'd rather be called based online for using a USP.

>The UC is a retarded design that is explicitly designed for youtubers that don't like revolvers.
I don't hate the .32 H&R and I appreciate caliber options, but the praise I see it getting with the UC fits that bill well. Everyone is so in awe over that one extra shot that I never see anyone mention how much they actually shoot it considering .32 H&R/.327 Mag starts at x2 the price of .38 Special. I have yet to see anyone share their .32 reloading recipes either when discussing the UC.

I bought a 632 UC and it is quite nice. Noticeably less recoil than a .38, except when using Buffalo Bore +P hardcast rounds. The extra shot isn’t a huge deal, but it is nice. The improved sights, though, that IS a huge deal. Anyone who disagrees has never tried shooting a UC variant back to back for comparison with the awful sights on any standard J frame. Nor have they actually tried to draw it from a pocket. There’s no snag whatsoever, that is complete cope.

these are dogshit choices. the lcp max is a better 380, or the bodyguard 2. NAA Guardian is better than the keltec and you can get better sights and the hellcat is the second worst option of all the 1.5 stacks. and the ppk hasnt been a serious carry gun in 30 years.

Not obsolete at all. Double stack, polymer frame, super reliable. The caliber has fallen out of favor but is by no means obsolete. And there’s nothing wrong with hammer fired - striker fired is just simpler and allows a slightly higher grip on the gun.
Can the USP also handle 45 super, or is that just the MK23?

Yes, but it's best to use the stronger recoil spring assembly when shooting .45 super. The stronger one is installed from the factory on the Tactical, Expert, and Elite models but the standard model has a slightly weaker recoil spring assembly.

Actually I take my opinion back, get a compact, that way,you have a USP of some kind, and could possibly trade it later on to some fag with a fullsize. They are only going to get harder to get from here on out.
