Totally agree, great video. I own the USP in .40, .45 compact and 9 mm compact. Also have the HK45 and HK45 compact. The full size .40 is definitely my favorite. It'll eat any kind of ammo I throw at it without one hiccup. Just installed the Grayguns short reset kit on the .40 and the HK45. The kit shortens the reset travel distance by about one-third, reduces trigger over-travel and reduces pull weight while maintaining all factory safety functions. It's pretty sweet and I highly recommend.
Great break down and review on this pistol...I happen to own the 9mm version. Just bought a couple months back. Loving it!!! Like it better than my M9 Baretta... and it's a close call to my Sig 226. All other reviews on this one doesn't go into the internals and how it all works....good job
I have to say when I purchased my HK USP Expert 45 acp I could not believe I was shooting 45 acp I was truly amazed now I am on a hunt for a HK USP 9mm full size already got the Jetfunnel and the 18rnd jetfunnel mags now I just need the USP cant wait great video!
Yes I had gotten a first year 9mm USP the only problem is first years don't have the polygonal rifling. So what I did was made it into a SD model with ambi safety got a real good deal on a brand new factory SD threaded barrel for 90$ shipped. I also put on Meprolight adjustable night sights with GG&G rail adapter with a olight 1200 lumen light with green laser.
@@todd2048 I was going to ask you the same thing lol. I have a few USP'S but my favorite are the expert for taking to the range and a 9mm compact for carry. All of them are tack drivers! Sounds like you turned yours into the tactical model! I put the jet funnel on my expert and full size that way they all use the same mags. RTG parts has had them come in at great prices.
@@Phenixrising-p1p Yeah still on the hunt for the 9MM expert I would also down the road pick up a MK23 I shot one at Ft Bragg for some training with Special Forces doing an array of weapons familiarization after that I was a jealous Marine lol thought it was a gun of tomorrow anyway its a bucket list gun.
@@todd2048SEMPER FI MARINE, I actually have a MK23 with a LAM device mounted on it, I hope you purchased one, Blessings and love to you and your family my brother in Arms.
Great video. I love the USP pistols. I got my first USP 45 during the clinton ban. It was and is a solid shooter. I used that pistol during all kinds of outdoor activities and never one issue. I have used it for a couple of indoor matches over the last couple years and it keeps up.
I have a VP40 and it's amazing, but I want a USP 40, or a P2000 in a 40 S&W. I prefer the safety of heavy hammer fired triggers than light striker fired triggers. I have a little experience with the P2000 LEM in a 40. I hated it a first, but on the third trip to the gun range I felt pretty confident hitting small targets at about 10 yards.
I bought a USP 40 when they first came out. So mine did not have the encapsulated spring or polygonal rifling. I still thought it was a great pistol. I had been carrying a Glock 23 and the USP was an upgrade. That recoil reduction made it worth it alone. It really made a difference.
Fact check: Standard 9mm and 40 have the SAME EXACT INTERNAL CASE PRESSURE (Approx 36,000 psi). People keep regurgitating that the 40 is higher pressure than 9mm. It is NOT! 9mm +P drives pressures up way beyond 40. Period. Do the research.
That explains a lot why HK leaves that extra bit of metal in the slide on the P8A1. The Bundeswehr was getting premature wear on these "stronger" 40 cal pistols with +P 9mm
Does this mean that 9 mm +P has more recoil than a 40? Which 9 mm handguns do you think would have the least amount of recoil? I am looking to buy a 9 mm and a 40. Thanks.
@@kurt31451 9mm +P ammo has recoil very similar to 40. The lightest recoiling pistols I have ever used are all steel frame Sig, CZ, S&W, 1911 pattern, and H&K USP (polymer frame). Of course the lightest and easiest to carry are polymer framed. You can split the difference and get something like alloy frame Sigs (P228, P229, P226), Beretta, or CZ and be very happy. But in reality, even in polymer frames, 40 is not a recoil beast by any means. The 40 being “hard to control” is simply internet nonsense and it has been proven time and time again with shooters using timers through shot strings. Happy shopping my friend.
@@not_a_samsquamsh6777 The Bundeswehr shot +p+ as steady round out of it which leads to slide cracks. But after a while they took normal NATO loads what still is +p. But with this it looks like they have no problems.
This is basically a great video, Sorry I had to! I have one of these and I have to say I love it and the recoil is not as bad as I thought it would be. Keep the videos coming.
Brother...try the usp 45...people try my pistol and have to see their face when they shoot it...the first thing they say is....THIS IS A 45...yup!!! I CANT BELIEVE THIS THING...THERES NO KICK..YUP
I have seen damaged frames and slides on P8s when i was in the german military. Supposedly the reason for this was that they were shot a lot and that +P or +P+ ammo was used although they were not rated for this. From what i have heard this problems should have been changed but im not sure about that. I hated to fire them in DA.
The system was designed to be insensitive to that type of ammo. Only thing I can think of is that the secondary spring was never replaced which would end up straining the frame some. The military has a way of destroying things from lack of maintenance. The DA on the USP is way better than many others IMO. It is not for people who dont know how to shoot though.

Damaged frames? That's easy...polymer frames with military personnel. Damaged slides? Ehhhh....did they still work?
Jeffrey Morgan The USP 40 is not a regular 40. The reason you don’t like 40’s is because they are ALL basically 9’s with a few interchangeable parts. The USP 40 is a real 40 cal from head to toe, you will never find another 40 like it because it’s actually built on platform that was designed for it, instead of just cramming shit together because they fit.
I don't agree with what you said at the end. I have been shooting guns for over 30 years and I just bought the USP 45 Expert yesterday for 1100 dollars. I will take it to the range to learn it and get used to it but I will not shoot it for the sake of getting my money's worth. I have other guns that I enjoy shooting with. All my guns will be passed on to my son and daughter when I'm gone and I want them to be as pretty as possible for them to enjoy as well. So, Are you saying that it's not worth paying the money unless I use it? How much do you think I should use it to get my money's worth?
I agree with you. My first gun was a USP Compact 40 cal. and it had the worse recoil, so bad that i sold it. The only .40 cal pistol I have now is XD 40 Tactical with 5" barrel and recoil is manageable. 9mm and 45cal are the best.
@@07Kimo07 I agree, .40 recoil is rough out of compact and subcompact pistols. .40 recoil isn’t bad out of full size pistols though. The USP 40 recoils like a 9mm because of that big ole slide. The Gen 5 Glock 22 is also amazing; to me it feels like it has less recoil than my Glock 17.
All usp full size designs. The 9mm and 40 use the same system. The 40 and the 9mm NATO pressures are the same so technically they should have similar service life
i have the 2020 vp9 and they have redone a lot to it and made a great gun better. and the from i think close and the new 40 are just the same so i say you should retry them and i bet you will be suprised

I purchased a 2019 new USP 45ACP about 6 months ago. I started using remanufactured ammo and had several failure to feed issues. I suspected the cause was remanufactured ammo. Now I am running new CCI/Blazer ammo and I had one failure to feed last week. I wonder if the recoil spring is the issue? I have been very careful when I take the gun down and then put the recoil spring back in to make sure it goes in exactly as it supposed to. It seems like from your comments that the recoil spring may not be robust enough for the 45ACP round? Comments?
cliffleath I have a 2020 USP 45 with a date Code of CA.. The recoil springs are heavier actually in our 45 pistol they are extremely robust they only can go in one way make sure you are inserting it the proper way so it can lock into the barrel lugs properly, if it is misaligned in any way you will have those problems Also I don’t know how many rounds you have through your USP but it may take a while for the recoil spring to break in. & keep it oiled as well. Especially the rear of the recoil spring where it compresses to prevent frame damage! If you have any more troubles or problems I can send you my email and show you pictures of mine and how it’s supposed to properly go in and lock into the barrel lugs
Brother..its you....i have my usp 45 for 25 years...not 1 malfunction yet...ive let a friend shoot it..and yes they had a malfunction...they try to over compensate thinking there's alot of recoil...
I never have a single failure with my USP the problem is I put a little bit too much oil on it it was when I took off the excess oil that is fire flawlessly as usual the man said put one drop of oil and that's all you need
The VP9 and VP40 we're designt for police and military. A lot of german federal states use the VP9/SFP9. The japanese Navy and coast guard adopted them.
Cool video but... WTH? Complain about the magazine feed lips, but put 14 rounds into a 13 round magazine. HK gave the extra room in the magazine on purpose.
Because you can with no issues. First time I did it was on accident. I was not counting as I loaded but was doing reload drills. One shot, reload, one shot. On the last one I still had a shot after. It was that easy to load 14.
It is indeed a fantastic fire arm however the things that I don't like are: the price, very expensive, secondly the polymer trigger, I would had liked a steel one in a double action pistol and thirdly plasticquy magazines which by the way are $50 + and I don't know how much they will hold when you drop them My Ruger p95 has nothing to envy this pistol
All are complaints I hear from the less experienced. Not a bad thing, but true. Complaining about the price of a better gun is like complaining about the price of a two story house and a yard shed. And the polymer trigger has no real flex that you will ever feel. It is in your mind.
@@doitriteak I don't consider myself an experienced or expert I just love fire arms ever since I remember, that's the very reason I own this very fire arm, I love it it's a keeper for sure but I just don't believe it's worth the price in my humble opinion! I have the usp9 and there's slightly flex on my trigger. And I do love it I just wrote the 3 things I don't like but I have way more things that I do like about it
Stopped watching when you shit on the vp9. Pretty good video, overall! You got a little muddy in your descriptions of certain things, but good info! The Recoil Spring Assembly usually blows right by most people. They think it's just a dual spring.
I think they could do both. Polymer to thin steel mag body and thinner grip with the same texture. Then get on it with a picatinny tail. Seriously needed to stay current.
@@doitriteak I have a USP9c which has the smaller grip profile because it uses steel mags. Yes, it is more ergonomic for those of us with small hands, especially when shooting one-handed and/or drawing from concealment one-handed. However, on the full size, my finger contacts the trigger on that perfect pad. The larger grip-profile makes sense and is just as comfortable to hold and shoot with its increased reciprocating mass (IMHO). Still awesome vid - saved to favorites!
I think if they were to add a Picatinny rail it would be wonderful but I understand they might want to keep it original and then states they restrict or have a gun roster list if they modify you cannot sell there at all even if you add a Picatinny rail which has nothing to do with safety real retard so either they sell or they don’t sell
Geez that was hard to watch and I watched it all the way through basicly. I've been shooting HK's for 30 years and what you might not know is that everytime you used Basicly it means your unsure if your correct in what your stating. When you demonstrated your recoil spring I can tell it's worn out if you don't replace it you will have premature wear. Oh and muzzle flip will keep you from staying on the target. Then you say that the 9mm is pooky? What the hell is pooky? You do know that 9mm is used by many militaries around the world. 40 is really a failed round yes it made it longer than 41AE but it's going away. Then you talk about the metal and the finish. Ya really need to learn more about the gun before you make videos about them. The finish is a proprietary extreme conditions finish the steel for the gun is cannon grade steel. Glad your jazzed about your gun. Just do some home work. Hopefully in the 2 years since you made this you have learned some more about them. Oh and I know plenty of people who like HK buy HK and don't go the the range weekly smh
You're talking about a kid who thinks 13rd magazines are actually meant to hold 14 and thinks "it's not that big of a deal" just because they fit, lol.

I wouldn't mind if they changed the rail . But not the grip .
I think they could do both. Polymer to thin steel mag body and thinner grip with the same texture. Then get on it with a picatinny tail. Seriously needed to stay current.
@@doitriteak I have a USP9c which has the smaller grip profile because it uses steel mags. Yes, it is more ergonomic for those of us with small hands, especially when shooting one-handed and/or drawing from concealment one-handed. However, on the full size, my finger contacts the trigger on that perfect pad. The larger grip-profile makes sense and is just as comfortable to hold and shoot with its increased reciprocating mass (IMHO). Still awesome vid - saved to favorites!
Well these pistols were released in 93 and 95, picatinny trails weren't really a thing then.
40 S&W isnt high pressure. The saami spec is 35,000psi like the standard 9mm. Actually 9mm +p has higher pressure with 38,000 and +p+ even 42,000psi.
usp 40🥳🥳🥳🥳
I think if they were to add a Picatinny rail it would be wonderful but I understand they might want to keep it original and then states they restrict or have a gun roster list if they modify you cannot sell there at all even if you add a Picatinny rail which has nothing to do with safety real retard so either they sell or they don’t sell
Good review. Have you ever fired a P229 40? Interesting what you say about the PX4. Interested on in how these lie in the recoil spectrum.
I have and it is harsher on recoil
@@doitriteak Do you know if there is a difference in recoil between the USP 40 and the HK P30L 40? Your opinion is important to me. Thanks.
Sadly, no ambi slide like a p30
Use other words than basically
Imagine how I feel having to hear that
Basicly! ... 🤣👍
Excellent👉kh Hk👎👍👍👍👍
Everyone hates the .40 now..😁
Some of us were never fans. Although I wish I would have been cause I would save on police trade in
Not me. I love the .40 caliber.
Great video just picked up a USP9 this week. Awesome pistol 👍 up on Instag @threxpatgunner
Geez that was hard to watch and I watched it all the way through basicly.
I've been shooting HK's for 30 years and what you might not know is that everytime you used Basicly it means your unsure if your correct in what your stating. When you demonstrated your recoil spring I can tell it's worn out if you don't replace it you will have premature wear. Oh and muzzle flip will keep you from staying on the target. Then you say that the 9mm is pooky? What the hell is pooky?
You do know that 9mm is used by many militaries around the world. 40 is really a failed round yes it made it longer than 41AE but it's going away.
Then you talk about the metal and the finish. Ya really need to learn more about the gun before you make videos about them.
The finish is a proprietary extreme conditions finish the steel for the gun is cannon grade steel.
Glad your jazzed about your gun.
Just do some home work.
Hopefully in the 2 years since you made this you have learned some more about them. Oh and I know plenty of people who like HK buy HK and don't go the the range weekly smh
You're talking about a kid who thinks 13rd magazines are actually meant to hold 14 and thinks "it's not that big of a deal" just because they fit, lol.
Stop clearing your throat it's annoying.
Eh. My P30 is better.
