I just purchased a USP9 and I was wondering how to tell which variant I have and if it makes any difference at all.
It has the control lever with decocker on the left side, and functions in DA/SA. Like the title says, its probably a stupid question but its easier to fix a stupid question that it is to fix a stupid mistake. DK |

Quoted:
Sorry I missed that crucial piece of info, It is equipied with a safety. The control lever has, fire, safety and decocker. So I'm guessing by the smiley face that V1 is the most prefered model? I have a V3 USPc .40. I added a V1 detent plate, thus converting it to V1. I never replaced the control lever, so there are no S/F markings. I'll only engage the safety when it's out of the holster at home. All in personal preference, I guess. |

Pretty much. It most certainly is the most seen. From what I have seen V1, then V3, then V9 are the most popular, followed by a smattering of V5 & 7 here and there with left handed versions mixed in here and there, usually in V2 and V4. |

Bad news guys,
I finally got to take my baby out to shoot and It is hitting low and left, how do I correct this. I know I can slide the rear sight over to correct for the left but how do I correct for the height. I was about 15 feet away and my shot would hit 2 inches low and an inch left. |
| Totally normal for new shooters to HK. The low is because you expect the bullet to hit on top of the front sight. That is not how HK Germany sights them in. They sight them in to hit behind the dot. The left is from using too little trigger finger and you are pushing the shot. Practice trigger control with snap caps and watch what happens to the sights when the trigger breaks. Using the grip and finger you are using now you will see your sights jump left. Use a little more finger and practice dry firing until the sights stay on target when the trigger breaks. There is nothing wrong with the gun, you just need to get use to it. This happens ALL the time. |
| It's possible it's going left due to the sights, but the trigger pull DOES tend to push it over on them. In my opinion it's probably the only operational design flaw in the gun. Every other flaw I'm aware of is really just a matter of personal preference. Other plastic guns do the same thing, and some wheel guns, but I still think HK could have avoided it. That crazy amount of creep is a hassle without lots and lots of practice. |
