Does anyone else find the mag realease on the USP series difficult to manipulate? I've been thinking about getting a USP 45 so I looked at one in the PX. But, I just couldn't seem to get the hang of the mag release consistently without seriously changing my grip on the pistol. Is there some trick or is this something that one gets used to with practice? |

I have to change my grip on the pistol somewhat to release the mag. I've gotten used to it. One of the benefits of the USP's system is that you can use your trig finger, your middle finger, your thumb, or any combo of finger and thumb. I use my trig finger and thumb. Just felt the most natural for me. It really came in handy when I broke my thumb and had it wrapped up. Was like I was training for a potential injury all along. |
Yep. Just don't switch guns. Sometimes when I shoot my glock, I forget and try to drop the mag that way. The first few times I did that I decided I should stick with the USP for any kind of defensive scenario. |
"Toss" the gun in your hand a little bit to the strong side (butt to the Strong side, muzzle toward the weak) so that your thumb is able to reach the mag release...no real problem..it should work fine. For many shooters, the mag release or slide release does not necessarily fall directly to hand with the pistol they use...you have to make it work for YOU! |
