This was the first firearm I bought for myself about 30 years ago. USP 45. It is, and I think always will be, the best and most enjoyable pistol I will ever own. It makes a great home defense weapon, but not carry. Don't like the mushy double action trigger, but the single action is good. You field strip it to maybe four components so easily. It's inherent engineering genius makes it just look so simple. I'd never think about selling it.

For factory unmodified guns the USP, P99, and P226 I think are some of the finest guns ever made. Probably the most tested handgun platforms tested through LEO, State, and Military endurance and reliability testing like no other handgun platforms. My favorite aspect of these guns is they are the perfect blend of old and new thinking. Thought for total war Red invasion all supply likes cut off and counter terror high focus on supply chain and logistics too. Simple things like double strike capability, end of the world durability, but provisions for mounting lights, ergonomics, good triggers, light weight materials etc. All a mainstay in my systems.

The USP line is legendary. I’ve owned 2 of them for years. I’ve stayed away from the P series because for me the USP line reigns supreme and has everything I want. The USP till today commands a lot of money. You wouldn’t think so with the current firearms that’s available today but they do. The P series on the other hand are much more affordable running between $600-$700 in any caliber. The USP line even used starts at $900 and goes up from there. The USP will continue to be relevant but may be out of reach when it comes to cost.

On his last day there we got drinks and told him we had to hit the range, I just had to find a USP first to match his. He said his always sat in the box and offered $250 for it. I ended up paying him $350 and it came with 4 mags. Put some trijicon night sites on it and went to the range to get most of my groupings at the head of the target.

The USP series is legendary in it's own right.. Def a quality and super well made rugged gun.. Back in it's hey day of the late 90s to early 00s it was a top 3 handgun choice along with the Gen 3 Glocks and the quality German framed Sig 226s/228s/229s ... Since its zenith in that point of time its prob moved from a top 3 list to a top 10 list, but still a relevant and durable firearm... Some of the downsides of the gun is that its really more suited to .45 and .40 over 9mm and within the last 10 to 15 years where lighter higher capacity 9mms have flooded the market its def diminished the role of the USP... And being held to 13 round .40 cal mags and 15 round 9mm mags while the other common guns carry 15 and 17 isn't helping either... In the year 2022 the most relevant USP is actually the .45 because a 12 round super durable and reliable .45 makes it a top 3 combat/duty .45 handgun along with the Glock 21 and CZ P10F .45.

A USP 40 was my first pistol purchase, and was inspired by Rainbow Six. At the time, high cap mag bans made 9mm a pointless purchase. A great pistol, but long gone to feed my 1911 habit.
