| Is it safe to carry an H&K USP Compact 45 with the hammer cocked but w/o the safety on? |
| That's how I carry mine. I decock the gun, holster it with the safety off, and then re-cock the hammer after it's holstered. I've been carrying USP's like that for years. Never had a problem. Also, my holster covers the trigger, and has a sweat guard that covers the safety/decocker lever. |
The time it takes you to draw the pistol and move the safety from the safe to the ready position is nothing. Compare that to the time that it takes you to draw a fully ready pistol out of the holster under adverse considitions and then @#$% up and send a round down your leg or otherwise discharge your pistol into an unintended target while getting it to where you want it pointed. Come on people...THINK!!!

| Check out this HKPro discussion on the subject. It has to do with a P2000 instead of a USPc, but the ideas are the same. |
