Here's an oldy but a good link to check out regarding USP's reliability: The USP is as reliable as it gets and incredibly accurate. I highly prefer a DA/SA handgun over striker fired anyways. Sure, the double action pull is long but who uses double action? That's what single action is for. Regardless of round count, these things will keep on going. Alot of guys will be coming in this thread and telling you to buy a G19 or PPQ over the USP, but in reality the USP is probably the most proven handgun design ever and if you really liked the way it felt then go for it. I'd love to have the USPc in 9mm! Especially with good night sights, anything below $600 for a used one is worth it. It ran me around $40 and I now have a spare firing pin, etc for future use (if the need ever be). I had no issues with the firing pin but I swapped it out for the new design anyways. 40 police trade in dated 2002 and it had the older firing pin design. Honestly, I don't think it's a very common issue and I've never actually seen it happen. Models older than 2005 or so used the old firing pin design which is a little more prone to breaking if you dry fire alot. It'll be in their little codes but you can look these up on HK's website. PS: I know about the funky rail on the USP already.the rail issue does not matter to me since I do not plan on hanging a light from any pistol I own.Ĭheck the date on the slide. Felt good in the hand and i don't find the trigger bad at all. Thanks in advance.I am really thinking that (oddly enough) a USP might be in my near future. Is there any glaring problem/feature/wart of the USP that I should know about or check before buying? So who here owns and shoots a USP Compact? How do these pistols hold up long term? Accuracy? Reliability? I am going to guess that from the reviews I have found that the USP is pretty reliable and as tough or more tougher than the Glock. Holsters and mags are out there and having a pistol with an actual track record is somewhat important. I know the PPQ brand new is the same price, but the USP has been around longer and "proven" itself. Since I own an older SIG P228, the d/a s/a feature does not bother me that much and it is not very different from my P228, really. I have never actually shot any of the USP pistols, but I know a few people that own them and swear by these guns. I can get this lightly used HK USP9C for about what I'd pay for a new PPQ. The trigger I can totally live with and is not a terrible as many make the HK trigger out to be. I examined the USP9C and found that it fit my hand really well. It is in VERY good condition and has factory night sights that still seem pretty bright. Well, while pondering over just buying another Glock (19) or even a new Walther PPQ.a local store has a very lightly used HK USP 9 compact in its used gun display. Oh man.I HAD to go looking around at my local fun store! LOL
