If it's doing what I think that is normal. All the USPs I have owned have done that.

Thanks.
It doesn't feel as if it should be happening. I imagine it'd accelerate spring wear. |

If so don't worry about it. My other USP that I sold stopped in the exact same place and I put over 10,000rds through it and never had a problem or needed to change that spring. ETA: Honestly I think it is designed to stop there as it works perfectly for a press check. |

Nice photo! Mine is doing it a little further back, roughly when the slide covers the barrel. 180 grain .40 is indeed subsonic!  |

If yours is stopping as far back as you say I would take a very close look at all the internals and spring. If you do not see anything I would trying to find another spring to try and see if that fixes it. Good luck and please keep us updated as I'm very curious. |

I think you may just be feeling the point where the buffer springs starts working, as part of the USP's "recoil reduction system".
You should be able to feel it let out if you hold the slide all the way back and slowly let it return to battery. You will get that same feeling with a USP compact or a P30 where HK went to a nylon bushing instead of the 2 spring recoil assembly. I have 3 USPs, a compact, and a P30L and they all have the "bind" you describe. |

Thanks to all who responded. There is a audible click and a release. Who knows maybe the prior owner bent the spring somehow. I'll order a new spring from wolf and see what happens. It's cheap.
