USP is the peak of durability and reliability . The hk45 and other new designs are not as overbuilt . People wanted a lower slide but to do that they had to make a smaller guide rod system . The usp recoil spring system is the most durable design of all time . Usp can handle 45 super stock
I instantly now want one in 9 and .40!!!! It’s not as curvy as the P30 and VP9 but I think it actually feels better!!!
THANK YOU for watching!!
Those are all great and better then the competition but all fall to the usp . The usp didn’t take trying to make it smaller . It’s big for a reason . The system is the most over built period . Cannon grade steel barrel . The strongest chamber period . Guys have gone 200,000 45 acp with all stock parts . Take it apart and compare the parts to glock sig beretta etc . All great guns but the usp is the strongest design Period . Longest lasting parts . And that’s what I carry .
@@RichiesHouse i just got it and i'm already a big fan!!! HK is going to break me!!!
@@TheArkansasGunGuy get them used , pawn shops and cabellas library used section . I got usp 45 mint made this year with 3 mags for 700
My local cabellas has two 9s and one 45 but they still want $1,000 for each of them.
The 'half cock' position is where the hammer rests after using the decock lever. It's not really meant to be operated manually. It's an added layer of safety of not having the hammer resting on the firing pin, even though the firing pin is blocked as well. Been carrying a USP 45 for 3 years now. Over built and insanely safe in a holster.
People are obsessed with half cock
How do you holster yours? I always felt a bit scared with treating it like an M1911 series handgun but H&K said it was intended to be carried that way safely as long as you don't fool around with it. I've carried it in a holster cocked and locked and have gotten used to it. It's actually clever that the safety doesn't block the slide's movement. That way, you can check the chamber and leave the safety on, something you can't do with a Browning Hi Power or 1911 series clone.
I've been considering picking up a tactical model for home defense, if the world ends type gun. Worth knowing I'd have a gun that would hold up. Is it worth it in comparison to some more recent offereings?
if people still carrying 1911 even though that design already 100 years ago, i don't think USP are gonna be outdated because of how durable and reliable it is
Walther and HK Are absolutely amazing
I need to get into some Walther action!! Also an Arkansas company (by way of Germany) - which is an even better reason!
I agree, and Walther even makes some small internal parts for HK. Walther is like HK's cool humble little brother.
I know a lot of people who do the videos for the HK USP and Miss a very nice and key detail the Hk USP recoil system takes up 30% of your actual felt recoil which is very handy and to your question about your hammer that is designed for pre-travel so is kind of like shortening the distance there’s more to it then that but that’s the just of it
True. The very first time I shot mine, I was shocked by how well it absorbed the recoil. I have never encountered any other .45 cal handgun that was so comfortable to shoot quickly. I still have mine and will never trade it in for an overpriced 1911 series knockoff. I don't care about the ugly looks. It's my home defense gun and as long as it can very reliably put 2-3 rounds into the burglar, that's the only thing that matters.
Welcome to the club man, I got a 45 expert and it feels and shoots amazing, best pistol I own
Love to see/own one of those some day!! So happy w /the USP!!!! THANK YOU for watching!!
I have a USP 9 and a HK45, both have HD night sights. My USP is a light LEM. I’m converting my HK 45 over to the light LEM. Both have the Grey Guns short reset in them. Both are very well made and over engineered. Like someone mentioned in the comments, you can shoot the 45 Super out of the USP and the HK45. They are rated for +P+ ammo. Having the HK45 is like having a P30 on steroids. Both feel the same in hand. I do prefer the recoil system on the USP or the HK45, even though it is a smooth shooting pistol, The USP feels a bit smoother with captive system.
When you tried to pull the trigger in half cocked, you had the safety on. It is the position it goes to when decocked. With the safety off, you can pull the trigger and activate the slide. I carry in this condition with a round in the chamber.
EXCELLENT feedback !! Thank you for sharing and for watching!!!
What'up- yeah.this is stunning uploading!;)
I have two of these in .45, use one as my everyday concealed carry. A bit heavy and bulky,..but am very happy with it.
Same here. Though I do keep a couple of Colt's Government Models in the rotation as well.
This is the Cadillac of HK handguns. I have the LEM model, and I carried on-duty for many years of my LEO job. I carried it with two mags. It was very heavy to carry, but I'd never carry anything after that. I also had the HK light on it, which I used in every home/building search that I had to do. GREAT HANGUN!!! Highly recommended! You'll never wear it out!!!
Love my usp45 wanted one for years finally found one i change the lever for a lefty not hard to do even for an ambidextrous lever
Midwest gun works sells the parts
Have it in 9 and 45, both Expert models. Epic, bomb proof guns. They are an apocalyptic event gun.
Ah man - would love to have an expert model!!! Maybe one day!!! Thank you very much for watching!!
Debating on an Expert 45 or a Freedom arms model 83 in 454 Casull that is very well priced. I have no real need for either. I want both....🤔
H&K pistols cannot be beat!!!
I love my USP 45.
I’d really dig it in 10mm! 🤩
They would have SO much success with a 10mm - you are exactly right!!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
I'm so glad I took the wallet hit and bought the HK Mk 23. I'm going to get the USP next when my FFL orders it.
On my list but gotta save for a long time. Super jealous. Is it just crazy accurate (and awesome)? Thanks for watching!!
Based off the mark 23 its the most tested pistol in history over 60,000 rounds without a failure. Check out the socom report its pretty intresting
You remind me of the dude that wanted a 80s iroc z so bad and finally got one as an. Adult and think it's better then a zl1 l1e.
Love hk handguns an the usp 45 was always at the top of my list an finally found a 2001 model very good condition
An being a lefty as well I change the lever to the left as well easy process all you need is a v2 lever an detent plate I believe
Did you flip the lever yourself or have a gunsmith do it? THANKS for watching by the way!!
@@TheArkansasGunGuy I did it myself I watch a TH-cam video to walk me through the process
Was a little nervous because hk handguns can be difficult but I was able to do it myself after a few minutes..

Interesting fact: on USPs issued to German police officers, the direction of the safety is REVERSED. You push up to turn it off. You push down to turn it on and decock the hammer. What surprised me is the Walther P38 is the reasoning for this. Many officers still carried it and the German Interior Ministry were worried that they would confuse the direction of the safety lever so they made sure it mimicked the P38 safety: push down for safe and up for fire. I have the US imported version and it's reverse: up for safe and down to middle to fire.
@@largol33t1 interesting 🤔
I sold my first USP 45 in ‘10 and I kicked myself every day after. It was a ‘99. I just ust got another, brand new. Same great gun. I only wish they kept the “antler” marking on the slide instead of moving it under the trigger guard. I think the antler represents the town in Germany where they’re made. Otherwise, it’s the same magnificent gun besides the relatively small mods made over the years.
These are the changes Im aware of… I saw these in an old HKPRO chat thread. Im curious to know if there are anymore after 2001….
1994: Reduced the slide weight by 1.1 oz.
1994-95: Changed to the polygonal rifled barrel (Prior barrels were standard land and groove)
1994-95: Changed trigger transfer bar.
1994-95: Changed recoil guide rod to a "captured spring version".
1995: Changed trigger mechanism.
1995-96: Added rubber spur to hammer.
1995-96: Changed angle on slide lock.
2000: Added locking feature to hammer strut support.
2001: Converted captive recoil spring retainer from c-clip to machined end on USP Compacts.
Definitely getting one tax season and a USP9 Compact
I want that 9 compact also!! There are SO many I want!! I think I have a problem!! (:
Thank you for watching!!!
You can add an ambidextrous safety
I own a P30sk V3 9mm & P30s V3 9mm the USP45 V1 & HK45 V1 & USP9 Compact & VP9SK & P2000sk V3 9mm & VP9L will be my next upcoming H&K pistol purchases
Dude!!! Super jealous of that collection!! That’s amazing!! THANK YOU for watching!!
@@TheArkansasGunGuy anytime my guy definitely will stock up on the H&K’s next year after my lawsuit settlement hits and the H&K MR762LRP & SP5K EURO & MR556A1 & HK93A2 & Tom Bostic T36C & USC45 Carbine
You need a standard P2000.
@@Lexicologist1971 definitely will be adding one to my list
@@CesarChavez-bn6iv , mine was a 40 before I switched to 357 Sig.
I really wish they still made them is stainless
And 10mm!!!! (:
The two tone USP was iconic, never knew they were discontinued
I paid 2500.00 for a NIB 45 USP in n SS off gunbroker. If you want one be prepared to pay for it. It’s worth every penny. 🇺🇸
Shoutout to James Williamson
I’m dying to get one, none of my gun stores have them, would you know any good websites where I can order a new one?
My local gun store Molan Labe has a few listed on their website.
Have also had good service from Frontier Jutice out of KC area - posting links to both below.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!

In that half cocked position the gun can still fire and the slide can be operated. You just didn’t pull hard enough
Just imagine if we all live to see the year 2079 HKs date code will be HK ❤❤❤
Look it’s John from saw
If I could go back in time and get the HK 45C would have been a USP C .45. So I like my 45C but it’s not near as beautiful as the USP just it looks so manly and beastly when it’s pulled out people think ok this is real shit is serious now. But now I want a USP C chambered in 9mm bc I’ve never owned a 9 and yeah I would go with nine for my next gun also have shot the vp9 sk which makes me want a p30 sk.
I like my 45C a lot but really really want USP C 45 also!!! I think I’m addicted to HK!! Thank you for watching!!
Dang, when did you buy yours? My handgun starts with the SN 25-07!!
PS: interestingly, mine has a partial deer antler stamped in front of the SN. I was told this is required before it leaves Germany as a "production proof mark." I have no idea what that means. It's odd that yours doesn't have this. I wonder if the SN is part of the reason.
Also, the CPN stamped on the slide isn't on mine. Instead it has the German eagle carved into it and the space after the SN doesn't have the letters DE stamped there. I'm surprised by how many differences are on the slide stampings.
trying to remember the exact date. sometime mid 2022 is my best guess. Thank you for watching!!
@@TheArkansasGunGuy Maybe it was made in the US. Mine is about 7 years old and still runs like new. These are almost bombproof. If I was forced to move to a different planet and could only have one firearm, I'd bring the USP without a second thought.
The gun that I would pick to fight in hell and back…
Have heard SO many people say that!!! Thank you so much for watching!
Fort Smith
Home of Walther’s US offices!!!! THANK YOU for watching!!
my bedside pistol USP 45
would not want to break into your house!!! thank you so much for watching!!!
You'll never wear that gun out. I've read a lot saying it can handle 45 Super ammo with no modification.
That’s what I’ve heard!!! Hope my kid’s kid’s kid’s enjoy it!! Thanks for watching!!!
Capacity?
12 rounds. Sorry I forgot to mention that! THANK YOU for watching!
@TheArkansasGunGuy That's not so bad. Sure looks like a pistol. I'm probably gonna get one. Ok, thanks so much for the info and great video!
12 or 20, depending on your state. I have Democrapper-approved 10-rd mags and a 20 rd mag that I bought online. I kinda regret the latter. When loaded, it is so heavy that I have to support it with my other hand when shooting it!
@largol33t1 Oh. Yeah, I have no regard for any such "laws". Ok, thank you!
CZ is coming to Arkansas?
They are? I know currently in KC area - are they moving south!?!
In Little Rock….it seems like the agreement may have hit a snag?
You can google it. Thanks for the video 👍
I have 3 of them…
I'll try to catch up as fast as I can!! big fan already! do you have one in each caliber? THAN YOU for watching by the way!!
(i would LOVE to see one in 10mm)
I do as well. I have a regular USP, Tactical, & Expert. All in 45 ACP. My favorite pistols no doubt!
@@tito1211 I have 2 tactical shots and 1 standard. All in 45.
@@reker.a5790 Sweet! Those USP Tactical’s are very difficult to find. I looked for mine for over 3 years. Could have got one sooner but i refused to overpay.
I've never owned or handled a H &K. Have heard nothing about good reviews from YTers. BUT i think too many fans have boutht into their marketing too much. Repeating what htey heard from H*K marketing . :) Has anyone of US actually bothered to truly "torture test" their prized H*K?? :) NOPE. . NO one talks about the internal parts e.g. what they are made of, are there MIM parts? How are they around sandy environments...places where there are sand-storms..light and heavy...do they still function? Are they any more durable than a Glock.? S&W M&P 2.0?? :) They sound like the Apple Computgers of firearms....
Thoughts...why hasn't H&K made a full steel gun?? LIke SIG has for their polymerlines. Why is the P30 and uSP lines still not "optics ready"? I think they're resting on their laurels....like Apple...not even bothering to keep up...Their "Match" gun isnt even all steel...most are (from other companies)....
I've put over 1,500 rounds of good to low quality ammo through mine and it has never malfunctioned. Not even a single 'stovepipe" jam! I've once gone almost 4-500 rounds without cleaning it and it ran very smoothly. Oh, and it's extremely accurate.
I’ll just not grab a gun by the muzzle. Front serrations don’t impress me
I agree. I got em on some guns but I never use em and they are on all new handguns now. Without em it’s like looking at a classic sports car. Way cleaner and just better looking.
First person I’ve ever heard, besides myself, calling out todays trend of getting as close to the muzzle as possible
HK hates their customers... because their customers keep forcing them to make their old guns. HK can do anything but their customers will turn around and say "That is very cool, you made a neat gun... but I like This One, can you make more?" And that's why HK can't stand their customers.
Customer service sucks, they act like a bunch of gangsters.
Yuck. Really hate to hear that!! THANKSFOR WATCHING!!!
I have an HK45C that was occasionally decocking. I sent it to them. They couldn't duplicate my malfunction. They sent it back, unchanged. I ragged on them on an H&K page on Facebook. An H&K employee was on the page. A week later, my gun was perfect.
