Absolutely love this gun. Conceals perfectly aiwb, goes bang every time no matter what ammo you throw at it, and it is one that you know 100% that you can trust your life with it.

This pistol is an absolute beast! It is built like a tank! Solid choice for concealed carry or home defense. I would trust my life to it hands down, no questions asked. It definitely lives up to the HK name of quality firearms. The grip angle allows for a natural point of aim and the recoil is soft. Aftermarket parts are readily available and I've had no issue getting magazines or holsters for it. True it is a little dated for today's stardards but you can't beat the overbuilt quality this gun offers. It's a product of extreme testing, made to withstand the rigors of harsh environments. You can't go wrong purchasing this one. As always, Buds delivers fast service and superb customer service!

Awesome gun, nothing bad to say. great reliability, smooth shooting, easy to carry. Feels great in my hands and I have smaller hands then most. If you get the chance buy one.

Oh my sweet H&K!!! I simply love this 9!! It’s subcompact but still not a small piece! Very substantial both in size and weight! That’s not to say it doesn’t handle well. Love it at the range or in my back yard, recoil is amazingly small, feels really great in my hand, easy to rack, weight distribution is amazing ( how do they do that ?). I simply love this gun AND it’s big brother H&K subcompact .45 (separate review)

The gun is a great shooter I wish I would have done more research on it before I bought it though me being a glock guy that's use to feeding his guns cheap ammo. I was shocked when I got this and it immediately start acting up when I tried to run steel case ammo. That's my only gripe about it. It runs brass like a champion but still peeves me that I paid $900 for a gun that is picky about what it eats. Morale is do your research before you buy a gun.

Pure impulse buy for nostalgic reasons and this is an expensive gun. I'm a huge Jack Bauer fan, watching 24 growing up. One of my fist shooting experiences was shooting a MK23. I'm an HK fanboy and shoot them well. My handgun skills are very poor, but the USP compact hides my lack of skill well. If changing sights i recommend a gunsmith or confidence using vanier calipers, they are very tricky sights. Iconic, beautiful, and highly functional the USP is perfection.

This isn't the most sexy, modern pistol you can find but it is a great shooter and is my EDC. It is a smooth, joy to shoot at the range. So much so I may need to get another because my wife likes to take my USP to a weekly class she has been attending. You can't beat HK quality and craftsmanship. I'd definitely reccomend the USPc. Although I did put the HK45 magazine release on it because the 45 has a larger paddle and the default USPc was a tad small for my taste. But that's literally a 5 minute task.

I had been searching for a concealed carry piece for a while and the HK USP Compact continued to be the best fit for me. With twins at home, safety is paramount and having DA/SA with a safety was a must for me. Not a lot of great options since most carry guns are striker fired. I was very concerned about receiving a gun manufactured many years ago before some significant manufacturers improvements. Check this article on how to identify the manufacture date (http://www.hkpro.com/forum/hk-reference-library/130041-begi-
nners-buyers-guide-hk-usp-series-handguns.html). It did arrive with a BG (2016), which I was very happy to see. It came with a slick black HK case with two magazines. Both with the extended lip. I bought a third thinking one would be the flat bottom. To do it over I would have bought a flat mag for carry, my next purchase. Took the gun the range and it shot flawlessly and has great balance. I'm use to a glock 34, but the HK pops right back on target for follow up shots pretty effortlessly. Perfect for its purpose. I contemplated the P30 and P30SK but just didn't love how they felt although everyone tells me I'm suppose to. Highly recommend the USP Compact for all the reasons you already know. If you have read this far, it is time. Hit the buy button, you won't be disappointed. I plan to a more thorough review on my you tube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJElAYb3brdsBZRuqqMpO4Q).

BUDS WAS GREAT. SHIPPED IN THREE DAYS. NO PROBLEMS THERE. THIS IS MY FIRST HK AND I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I LIKE THE DA/SA V1. THE GUN IS COMFORTABLE AND OUT OF THE BOX, THE SLIDE IS EASY TO RACK. DA TRIGGER IS HEAVY BUT THE SA IS NICE AND CRISP. THE TRIGGER ISN'T AS SPONGY AS PEOPLE SAY IT IS. THE TRAVEL OR CREEP ISNT BAD EITHER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE GUYS ARE SMOKING. THE RECOIL IS VERY LIGHT. I HAD A 9 SP2022 THAT HAD QUITE A BIT OF MUZZLE FLIP. ATLEAST MORE THAN THIS GUN. NOT TOO BAD BUT NOTICEABLE. BOTH EXCELLENT GUNS BUT I LIKE THIS HK ALOT BETTER. FEELS BETTER. LOOKS BETTER AND I SHOOT IT BETTER. THE TRIGGER GUARD MAG RELEASE IS NO ISSUE. I JUST USE MY TRIGGER FINGER TO ENGAGE IT. I PREFER IT. THIS IS MY TENTH PURCHASE FROM BUDS. NOT MY LAST. THIS GUN IS FREAKING AWESOME AND AT $790 I COULDN'T PASS IT UP. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH HK.

Amazing weapon. Until you own an H&K you can't appreciate the difference between it and the rest of the field. This is definitely a fined tuned instrument that will last several generations.

Great service all around from Buds. From fantastic prices, to a well designed webpage, this entire shopping experience was awesome and worry free.

I bought this new H&K USP9 Compact for my wife to use because its smaller grip circumference fits her hands perfectly and the ease of racking the slide makes it the best choice for her due to her lower hand and arm strength. Plus its light weight and perfect balance when fully loaded coupled with the recoil reduction system make it the best shooting handgun for her self defense. I already own a full size USP9, so I already knew how accurate and reliable of a gun it is, and the Compact is no different. An excellent all around automatic and the service and price from Buds makes it all the better.

It's interesting to read/watch/research all the reviews/information based on the H&K USP only to find that you won't know the truth until you take that leap of faith. The USP Compact is an outstanding pistol. One must understand that it was never really geared towards a civilian market. The pistol’s priorities would be military first, law enforcement second, and civilian (concealed carry) last. So with that in mind, one would understand the level of quality, function, and performance for the USP compared to say a Glock (geared more for law enforcement / civilian). I hate to have to compare different models/brands but it’s an absolute must for gun buyers. Obviously, the most popular concealed carry pistol is (arguably) the Glock 19 (which is a different breed, respectively). When comparing this to my brother-in-law’s G19, there are a few things that reviewers tend to leave out. First off, the size is NOT that much in difference. The USP’s slide is slightly taller (3/8’s of an inch) and slightly wider (less than an 1/8); where length is longer on the Glock by only a hair. The USP frame is shorter in length (again by a hair), longer in height (by about 3/16’s and only because of a lip that I think it can do without), and is actually the exact same size in width (if you take out the fire control lever). The USP is noticeably heavier without a scale, but again not by much. It’s insane how reviewers are over-exaggerating on size and weight (Nutnfancy?), when in reality, the USP is nearly the exact same size (if not smaller), and only slightly heavier. The USP trigger does have some creep and weight, but again it’s not ridiculous. In all honesty, the trigger is perfect for military duty use, especially if used with gloves. The Single action is phenomenal; the double action is surprisingly lighter than I thought. I was under the impression that the double-action was excruciatingly heavy, yet it was lighter than my co-workers S&W 38 snub. I was able to get 2 inch groupings at 7.5 (I’m used to a 1911 trigger, so NO, I’m not a double action guy). I kinda feel cheated since I’ve already purchased the USP Match Trigger Kit (bought it 6 months before this pistol) because I felt it was an absolute must for single/double action. I’m looking forward to see it’s performance once it’s installed. In a nutshell, I like the stock trigger. The barrel, sight radius, and magazines are a negative compared to a glock, however, it does have some pluses. The barrel’s feed ramps are more pronounced, it’s chamber is thicker, but it’s barrel is thinner than the G19. The sights are pretty nice. You have to put the front blade over the target which I’m learning is better because it’s a more point and shoot than “remember to put the blade below the target.” The magazines hold less capacity and are made of steel, but one thing I noticed is that the mags don’t just fall like a glock; they shoot out. I held my bro’s g19 and the USP upside down, the mag on the glock does a little pop-up when you push the mag release; the USP literally wants to jump up and out of the gun (of course, that was all empty; I’ll try it when full). The mag catch is obviously a big negative impact on shooters (European style), but I have to say it just works. The control lever was my main concern (I was afraid it was gonna be too stiff); it wasn’t. It worked fine. I only put 105 rounds downrange, and there was 1 failure. However, that failure was a Blazer Steel cased well over 15 years old; the primer dimpled but the round didn’t go off. The rest of the ammo worked absolutely perfect – Federal FMJ (new), Blazer Steel Cased (15 years old+), and random reloads (unknown source). All in all I am very happy with the purchase. I've debated between 9 or 40 for this, but I the 9 is the better way to go. 40 should be for full size with it's proper recoil reduction system. There's a few things I can complain about, but it's really minor. The gun comes with 2 finger extended magazines (I would of prefered 1 extension, 1 standard flat/flush floor plate). Bud's service was excellent but I was hoping to receive it a day earlier considering I order on friday, received wednesday (still very good compared to amazon/midway - plus free shipping). Not sure how the gun was packed since it was handled by the FFL, but there were no dings/scratches so I'm assuming the mags were shipped outside the box. Either way, it worked for packaging.

You just can't beat this gun! I recently purchased another one(my third) and I figured id give it another review. I have one of these guns that has 10k rounds through it and not a SINGLE malfunction of any kind. Perfect size but you still get a full grip. Rugged, reliable, accurate. Trigger is a little rough but this gun was designed for combat and the rigors of the battlefield not to be tuned and babied like a competition gun. If you want a weapon you can conceal and trust your life(or families) to every day and night this is it. Thanks as always to Buds for great service and fast shipping!

My first firearms purchase from buds excellent customer service all the way hence i was deployed in southwest Asia when i made the purchase Buds had no problem holding on to it till I rotated back to CONUS The gun was in perfect condition took it to the range and it fired like a dream. Buds you don't have to say you support the troops you show it through understanding and excellent customer service.

I have always owned Glocks until I put my hands on this pistol. HK quality, accuracy and precision at a great price. People always ask where the $250 difference goes between HK's and Glocks and it is apparent when you hold the pistol. The quality is incredible. Plus you can carry it cocked and locked and it has decocker. Only downside is that the magazine capacity is 13+1 but if you can't get it done in that 2 or 3 more wont help you! As usual Bud's service was EXCELLENT. Don't hesitate to buy this pistol or from Bud's!

I got my USPc 9mm from Bud's just last weekend. Although I've only shot a box through it, I can tell that it shoots way better than me. Perfect size and shape for easy cc.. Very comfortable in the hand. I honestly cannot find anything to complain about! This is a keeper.

My mother formally carried one of these in Stainless Steel. This is a very fine, very well made handgun. Bobbed hammer, short barrel, and compact size make this perfect for an inside the belt holster, or a hi-rise Galco. It is accurate, better than expected from a compact handgun.
