What’s your thoughts on the usc?  Worth the money?  Thanks for your thoughts

I’ve owned a number of them starting with a 3 digit serial from the very first batch imported.

They are not HK’s best but I still like them.  Their cost for the 10rd mags probably keeps popularity lower than it would be if the gun shipped with 2 instead of 1 and others were reasonable.

The thumb hole stock is one of the most comfortable I used (and I lived thru the AWB).

Recoil is rather abrupt.  Other than that they’re fine.  I used one for HD for an about a year.  10rds seemed fine for that role.

As a range gun they’re going to draw attention and are reasonably accurate.  Again, the blow back action from a 45 sucks if you’re use to a roller delayed 9.

I sold my last one in a big gun action last year for $900.  It was NIB.  I would not pay more than about $1100-1200 for one since you're going to want spare mags and they're $65+ each.

Only worth it if you convert to a UMP, in my opinion.  A 16” .45 limited to 10 round proprietary magazines doesn’t really float my boat.    I’d choose a Ruger LC carbine over a USC for that market segment.  Cheaper gun, plus cheaper and higher capacity mags that are more available.

Are they the same as they were 20+ years ago? That's when I sold mine after realizing I was too cheap to do an UMP conversion. It was pretty accurate and reliable but at the end of the day it's another blowback gun. I haven't shot a Stribog but from my research you'd have a hard time getting me to pick a USC over a Stribog and if you don't mind blowback then there are all kinds of options that are much less expensive. You can do an AR or Jawbone.

I had a TSC UMP conversion for a few years in Hawaii, felt like a paintball gun with the 16" barrel.  Traded for a SR15E3 when they first came out, kinda wish I kept it.  I really was a SBR UMP conversion now that im firmly planted in a free state.
