I know this was covered before but when did HK change the USP to have the hammer fall to half cock when using the decocker?

I have an A? datecode expert that does and a KG datecode USPf 9mm SS that does not but I just had the match trigger installed and don't recall if it was that way before I sent it off.

Can you change the trigger to change this or is it inherent to the frame?

Thanks,

I thought when you went to the Match trigger HK would change the decocking mechanism to half-cock.

I also know that the match triggers were different in the early versions of the USP.

I don't recall if the stock trigger had the half cock position. I'm worried it did and the new trigger doesn't. Likek there might be an issue with the install.

What's the date code on your gun? The new trigger should have the half cock position...it was changed pretty early on...

I am pretty sure they changed over the half-cock notch in 95 (KF) so your 9mm with the match trigger should have the half-cock notch. The only reason it would not is if your 9mm has a serial number under 24-21515 in which case HK would have had to make modifications to the gun in order to put the match trigger in the pistol. The half-cock in is the hammer, not the frame. If your pistol is not dropping the hammer when decocking to the half-cock position then something may be wrong.
When you pull the trigger and let the hammer go all the way forward, then manually cock the hammer does it have the half-cock position? It should. And from fully cocked the hammer should not drop all the way forward when using the decocker.
With the pistol unloaded, check three times, cock the hammer and deock it. Notice how far forward the hammer goes. Then cock it and pull the trigger. The hammer should go forward quite a bit more. If your pistol is above the listed serial number range and does not drop to half-cock, contact HK for verification and correction.
Did HK install the match trigger?

It's a KG date code gun and the serial number is 24-0463XX. It doesn't go to half-cock by manually drawing back the hanner either.

I had L.E.E.D in Wa install the trigger, Jet funnel and NS at the same time. They were recommended, on HKPro I think, and their charge was good.

I bought the gun from a private pary who said it was unfierd and I have never fired it so I can't remember how it was with the stock trigger.

What's the easiest way to reach HK cust. svc?

Thanks for the input guys.

Something then is wrong and you do need to contact HK.  It should have a half-cock/decock notch almost for certain.  Here is a link with HK-USA contact information.

Thanks for the imput guys, I finally got ahold of HK and they believe that the guy that installed the match trigger didn't install the correct catch.

Anyone know how long I should expect to wait to get it back?

Great info.

HK's shipping it back tomorrow.  The part was FREE but I had to pay $79 in labor and shipping. Cost me $30 to overnight it to them. So much for the savings having someone else do the install. Next time I'll just send it to HK.  


UPDATE: USP's back in less than a week, repaired, test fired and cleaned. They even threw in a new case for FREE!  +1 for HK customer service.

My USPc 9mm has a half cock... more like a quarter cock. Pressing the decocker or pulling the slide back slightly moves the hammer back to this slightly pulled back position.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.  People who bitch about HK's customer service either had an odd experience or have never actually dealt with HK.
