Picked this up over the weekend at the local pawnshop. They had 3, 2-Variant 1's and a LEM. All in excellent condition for $400 each. I'd had in in layaway a couple of weeks and that was giving me time rounding up extra mags for it. Just wanted some ideas on a good OWB holster as carrying this concealed is probably a no-go due to the weight and overall size. It's a 93 build. Anything I should check or look for? I've got a couple of HK rifles but this is my first handgun.

I have that same one. Carried it several years on duty. Solid gun albeit it is large.

The USP was built around the 40S&W.  You will not be disappointed.  It's such a work of art the USP is.

Thanks for all the replies. I plan on taking it out this weekend. I've always owned Glocks and just recently picked up a few CZ's but this is my first HK. I did order a Streamlight TLR-3 with the USP clamp so I may look for a holster that will fit that. This will probably be my nightstand gun depending on how it does at the range.

And depending on how it does, I may go put the other Variant 1 back at the pawnshop. He said I could pick another one for $375. They both are in excellent condition and had been collecting dust there for a year or two from what I remember.

I use a Safariland 6378 ALS holster with mine, and really like it.

I have a 40c and a Competition version.   I recommend Comp-Tac holsters and mag carriers   They are secure and fast draw. The carriers are Not too tall so you can get a good purchase on a mag for positive insertion

Nice thing bout them you can buy the detent plates for like $15 each and change the version yourself in literally 1 minute. I went from v1 to v9 for personal reasons   My 1911 thumb rides safety and under pressure I pressed down enough so the gun would not fire!!!!    Very bad in a need to fire Now situation

Also a excellent safety feature is you can load and unload the pistol with the safety On

I put Trijicon HD sights on the 40c.... perfect in every way

If you get another one, try out the LEM, that's a legit trigger if you drop the match trigger and sear spring in it.

And I've only got IWB holster for mine, Steath Gear Ventcore and a Milt Sparks VM2. Both excellent
