H&K USP .40

Info:
Well i got my hands on a H&K USP .40 S&W if you know guns you should know H&K. The USP design was first introduced in 1993 made from molded polymer frame and steel slide .Outside metal surfaces, such as the steel slide are protected by a proprietary “Hostile Environment” nitride finish. Internal metal parts, such as springs, are coated with an anti-corrosion chemical to reduce friction and wear.

The USP is the base of the Mk 23 Mod 0, a .45 ACP handgun designed by Heckler & Koch for the USSOCOM. The frame and slide of the USP45 are slightly larger than those found on the USP40 and USP9, much like the Mk 23. The prominent oversize trigger guard allows the use of gloves when firing.

Review:

Well I have always liked H&K! So when I got my H&K USP .40 I couldn’t wait to shoot it. I didn’t get a chance to shoot it until a week later and man that was a long wait! But boy was it worth it! I have shoot many of weapons and own many weapons and none of my weapons have impressed me more than this H&K’s first shot was a dead bang bulls eye right in center on a target about 10 meters away! I shot 2 more well aimed shots and the spread was less than a 1in. After the first shots I tried some double taps all shots were less then 2in apart. So the weapon was shooting pretty good I tried to make the weapon jam or miss feed firing it in awkward positions too close to the wall sideways and slightly coving the ejection port. No jam or miss feed but I’ll post back on any jams etc when I get them. Over all I put 250 rounds through the weapon and it was an enjoyable experience.
