Thinking it'd make an outstanding nightstand/HD pistol.



I'm curious as to people's opinions on THIS pistol, and if they like it.

I assume you are going to want to outfit it with a weapon light. ..
Don't forget to add an extra  $100 for the proprietary rail adapter....

Based on my recent purchase of a plain USP .45, I say FO!
 



*I paid $500 at GT dist. for a sheriff's office trade in, in good condition.

Buds just had the USP40 tactical on sale for under $800... I fent...

high bore and low capacity compared to some of the newer guns, but short frame makes it conceal very well.

I havent had a chance to shoot the .40 but Ive rented a .45 and it was one of the most accurate pistols I have shot...

If another sale comes up on the .45 I will be getting a second.

Good handgun. Massive. PITA to mount a light. Expensive mags. Not a lot of recoil, but way too much muzzle flip.

The mags 40-50 each when I wanted one.
With the after market Glock mags get a 21.

Errrr, so HK 45 Tactical and USP 45 T are different pistols? I'd of thought the "T" would just make it a shorter way to pronounce it.

The HK45T and the USP45T are different pistols. The USP series pre-dates the HK45 series by what, 15 years?

OP:

The HK45 is a bit more ergonomically comfortable...but to get it, you give up 2 rounds. The USP will get you 12+1. If you have medium to small hands, the HK45 is probably the way you want to go...the USP is a bit bigger. I wear XL gloves and to me a USP45 is big.

If you have more time than money, you can do what I did...find a used LE USP 45 tradein for <$450, and as time allows, fill it in with a factory threaded barrel, a match trigger kit, and if you really want you can replace the recoil assembly with a Tac's recoil assembly (it has a heavier second stage spring, specifically for shooting suppressed; it's not necessary either way, really) and depending on what kind of deals you found, you could get yourself into a USPTac clone for less. If you really want to go for the gusto you can also swap out the sights for taller sights like on the Tac...I don't have a .45 can yet so I don't know if it's strictly necessary or not.

The HK 45 is a newer model of the USP.

HK45 Tactical


HK USP 45 Tactical


The biggest differences are the HK45 holds 10 rounds but is more ergonomic (the closest you will get to a 1911 feel in a polymer framed handgun) and has fixed three dot night sights.  The USP holds 12 rounds ,but is very boxy (makes a G21 feel ergonomic) and comes with blacked out adjustable target sights.

The USP also comes with the "match trigger" but it is nothing to write home about (I had a USP expert which had their "match trigger" and it was subpar to average at best, and will still inferior to a stock beretta or Sig DA/SA trigger IMHO.)
You would be better throwing the LEM trigger in either one, which is a pretty damn good trigger for HK.

Oh, and the HK45 has a standard pic rail so any light can be attached directly.

Factory usp 45 compact tactical with ggg rail adaptor. All the compacts have bobbed hammers. I have a 9mm compact also but they never came with threaded barrels and the aftermarket one I have doesn't work well suppressed.

Big Ass Gun.

But seem to run fine.

Would not want to carry one on my hip all day, but as a static nightstand gun........you could do worse.

I owned one for about a month. felt like a SMG shrunk to hand gun status.

The older Tacticals came is a carry bag/case similar to what modern FNX's come with. Came with a cleaning kit, pouch, 2 mag pouch, suppressor pouch and two velcro straps to hold the gun in place.  I have quite a few of them.

Mine feeds all types of bullets which is nice.  Big gun but actually fits and functions fine in my small hands.  Magazines are expensive but I was able to grab a few 10 rounders for $20 years ago (you can increase capacity by inserting Para 14 followers).  Only complaint I have is the left hand thread and lack of cutout for RMR sight.  Very fun to shoot suppressed.

If I get light strikes with my glocks, I feed those rounds to my USP SD, and they fire 100% of the time.

As far as the RMR cut, thats a current trend, not in the early 90's when these guns were produced. I can honestly say, I can shoot very instinctively with my USP's that no RMR is needed, yet I have 5 glocks with optics.

I picked up the HK 45 in the gunstore a couple of times...

The finger grooves don't feel right for me....

The USP feels pretty good.

So I'd either have to go with the USP, stop dating Rosie Palmer & her 5

daughters so much so the muscles atrophy...or use my left hand for the same reason....

(I take a size 8 surgical glove)

No, I bought the HK embroidered bag separately. It was made by Tactical Tailor, there's a guy selling them on eBay for a hundred and change, but if you look carefully there's an HK website that sells them for about half of that.

If I can find a usp tactical 9mm and vp9 tactical for a decent deal, I would buy them and sell one of my usp sd's and vp9 that I bought a threaded barrel for.

I just got my 4th HK *usp 45 tac* (usp9 tac, uspc9,  p30sk 9) and i kinds feel bad for my p30sk.  I just got it prob 6 months ago and have MAYBE 100 rounds through it.  got the 45 tac as a host for my evo 45 (and soon to be octane 45). love it so far and as any tac, love the trigger.  still not as good as my usp 9 tac...but it has the lem / match hybrid trigger.
