| OK, so I have a USP in .45 and love it. I bought it used off the EE a couple years ago. I have never had an issue with it. Guy I work for recently told me he was in the market for a 9 mm. and was kinda interested in a Beretta 92 since he had one before and liked it. I kinda steered him toward a USP and basically told him I thought it was a better gun. Well, few weeks ago at Academy I saw one on clearence for $579.00. I have NEVER seen a USP that cheap and told him about it. He just bought it yesterday and hasn't shot it yet. Is there any break-in periods on USP 9 mm.'s? I don't know since I bought mine used. Thanks. |

GTG out of the box as far as I'm concerned, if it has issues then it's a (rare) lemon. Yeah, if he has any problems with it I'm gonna feel slightly responsible since I talked him into going the HK route. He doesn't really know much about guns so he trusts my opinion. |

No break in...bought mine new... http://images44.fotki.com/v1487/photos/6/66370/2043177/EnhancedUSP-vi.jpg http://images14.fotki.com/v377/photos/6/66370/2043177/Picture032-vi.jpg What kind of mags are those? They don't look like stock HK mags? Is that what they call a Jet-Funnel conversion? |
| I bought a 45 USPC when they first came out. One of the first 200 made.I paid I believe 499. When I first shot it Icould just stay in a 25 yrd timed fired target.I was not happy. I called HK and said to shoot another box. It started to improve. It would then put Silvertips on top of each other. There was a guy with a fullsize 45, agian an early one and it did the same thing. |

They're made for the USP Expert, but you just need to install a jet funnel on a full size USP to make use of them. |

I have a full size USP40 and I am not a fan. Bought it off of someone who only fired a single box of ammo out of it. The compacts are pretty decent, but the full size USPs are nothing magical. Reliable, feeds well, mags are GTG. The controls/mag release are my two biggest complaints. The nicest thing I can say is that as far as a service pistol goes, I'd much rather have a USP than a Beretta 92. Personal preference... YMMV |

MIne came from HK fitted with em..I dont know what they call this variant....I dont think its a "combat classic" I could be wrong tough |

I used to own a USP40. Gun was reliable and accurate. I just could never grow to love it. Spongy trigger, big and blocky, high bore axis, and $$$ mags. But it never gave me any trouble. Sold it off and have not regretted it. It's a good gun, but I prefer others. YMMV.
ETA: Gun was trouble free from the start. No known break-in requirements that I am aware of. |

Does any German engineered firearm require a breaking-in period? Certainly none that I have purchased. My poor Walther PPS 
You may have me there. I don't think Walther has been the same since the S&W deal. My PPK sure isn't up to standards, but it was also manufactured here in the USA.
