Picked up a USP tactical in 45 the other day, it did not come with a thread protector, however the HK pistol next to it (could have been a USP in 9 mm but I am not sure) did have a thread protector.
Guys at the shop swore up and down that these do not ship with one..
a) were they lying to me?
b) do i really need a thread protector?
c) if b= yes, whats the best place to get one?
