Heckler & Koch H&K USP V1 40 S&W 4.25" 13+1 (2) Black Blued Steel Slide Black Interchangeable Backstrap Grip - 13+1 Rounds | 4.25" Barrel | Polymer Grips | Blue/Black | 3-Dot Sights

I always wanted a USP. I found them to be overly expensive, years have passed by and finally decided to give it a go. Once I received it, I immediately noticed that the grip was thick. Thicker than I would have liked, after all, im used to the suave style of the Walther PDP and PV9. However, not only is the grip thick, its also a very thick pistol. Some may call it bomb proof, i call it unpractical. Quickly dismissing it, knowing that its a .40 cal pistol, also noticed that the double action was heavy. I mean VERY heavy. Let me tell you that my PTr-91 rifle (7.62x51) has less heavier pull. Okay these two things are already bothering me. Regardless, I paid good money and I was hoping that the shooting experience was going to redeem all of my worries. Also the description on the page states "Interchangeable Backstrap Grip". Im sorry but that isnt true! what grips!? do you buy them separately? they were none in my case! So, the shooting? oh.. yeah. It was loud. Louder than a standard 9mm anyhow, and I was using a training & range ammo so I wasnt expecting a hot load performance. The recoil? also heavy. In fact, twice as heavy as that of my 9mm Walther PDP (long slide). So whats going on here? Where is the so called legendary status of the USP? Its an HK so surely something has to be good? ahh yes! the accuracy! I only shot at 11 yards but it seems, that when taking your time the weapon is deadly accurate. Unfortunately, to get precise shots you either need to be VERY experienced in double action or have the hammer cocked down so the trigger pull isnt so bad. I wasnt even going to try rapid shooting as I dont want to have a broken wrist. This is a weapon from several decades ago, and it shows. Today you can get something much.. much better! I hate to say it, but this pistol isnt it. Im giving it 2 stars out of 5, shootability is subpar, the ergonomics are classic HK but the size of the weapon, the incredibly heavy pull and the weight brings this beast down a few good scores. I will say that its built like a tank. No rattles but unfortunately, it doesn't stand the test of time in my book. I will be selling it back to Budsgunshop for some store credit and get something more effordable, modern and pleasant to shoot. You have been warned!

Very happy with my purchase. Excellent firearm.

When one wishes to purchase the best, most reliable firearm on the market, one purchases an Heckler and Koch. With exception to maybe a Sig, the rest are just pop guns. Purchasing and receiving this HK USP through BudsGunShop.com was a breeze! Fast and seamless are the best words to describe my purchase experience. While everyone else was out of stock, you had exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

I got what I asked for in a reasonable time, thank you for that Bud's

Very happy with this purchase, the gun looks great for a great price!

HK what's not to like. It's cool man.

Awesome firearm! The only negative about this is pistol is the de-cocker is a little hard to use sometimes. If your on the fence, buy it! I have wanted one for a long time, and now I do. Don't you?

Absolutely an incredible firearm. My favorite pistol of all time. Very accurate and perfectly reliable. I've shot thousands of rounds through my USP's and not a single hiccup. No issues whatsoever. When the going gets tough, this is my go-to sidearm.

Excellent service, came in perfect condition. I will buy from Buds again in the future. Thank you.

My favorite of all time. Never an issue, no worries, absolute confidence in this pistol. Accuracy is amazing. Reliability is perfect. When things get very bad, this is my go to pistol.
