| Right now im not really liking my 9mm 1911 and am looking into a usp or uspc. Im thinking of wanting it for ccw since my ppk/s is having too many problems for me to like. Now is their really a noticable reduction in recoil with polymer framed guns (never shot one before) and with the added hk "reduction" system? Ive been shooting my p220 alot lately and actually think it has a better feeling than my 9mm 1911, if youve shot a uspc and p220 how would you compare them? Im also gonna try and trade my pre 64 model 94 lever action and hopefully get a uspc .45 and used 98 usp 9mm, so let me know about em so i can make a decision because ive never shot or owned an hk and there are none to rent at the local range |

If your hands are on the smallish side, you may shoot the USPc better than the USP. I have abnormal gorilla freak hands, so I have a USPf, but all of the compacts I've shot have been up to HK par: accurate beyond expectations, reliable to extremes, et al. With the USPc .45 though, you should probably use +P ammunition to ensure proper bullet performance. |
lol, +1. he couldnt have said it better. I own the P220, 1911s, BHPs and the gun i love the most is my H&K USPc .45. The only thing that pisses me off is the rail! Mines the old school USP rail, i saw someplace that they are making them with picanty rails now which really chaps my ass. So, if this is true, make sure you get the new rail. You will not be disapointed. They are the best! Good luck, post up when you get/shoot yours for the first time! |

Ditto on the small hand advice above. I owned a P-220 for a while & own three 1911s in .45acp & have both the compact & fullsize USP in .45acp. Recoil is kinda subjective from person to person, but I doubt *I* could really tell much (if any) difference in recoil of all the full sized .45s............ Some folks will tell you their USP Compact is more accurate than their USP Fullsize. I know that is contrary to all gun logic, but the Compact is GD amazing in accuracy. Pity is only has a 8rd mag..............

cals is now allowing preorders for 10 rd. mags. i guess for the HK45 compact and the uspc45. |
