The HK USP 45 Compact: A Quick Look

[@MilitantX1]

I carry my HK USPC45, USPC9, HK 45C, P30, and P30sk because they are all DA/SA. I carry them in AIWB holsters. Sure, I have the VP9/VP9sk as well that I carry from time to time but I love the DA/SA pieces more. Nice video!

[@projectredbeard2199]

They are extremely nice handguns for sure! I have a p30L and I love it. I have been eyeing the p30sk. Thank you!

[@RenzinatorStrength1961]

HK USPs are simply the best.

[@projectredbeard2199]

They are definitely in the top 5 for me

[@philsmgb4393]

I love H&K's compact models. They take a tank and make it a smaller tank.

[@projectredbeard2199]

Agreed! They are definitely pieces of art.

[@tomaslongoria2449]

Got one from Bavarian State Police on gunbroker, its so funky compared to ones sold in the US. I love it.

[@projectredbeard2199]

Interesting. What is different about it??

[@tomaslongoria2449]

@@projectredbeard2199 decocker only, but i dunno if thats standard for all german USPs or just cop ones or just this one. Barrel and its Oring are diff as well, learned that when i tried to buy a threaded barrel for mine. Trying to turn mine into a compact tactical myself since i couldnt find one to buy. Also came with a green dotted front sight and all white rear sites.

[@projectredbeard2199]

@tomaslongoria2449 Interesting, there are quite a few variations though. Could just be the one they use.

How much was it I’m trying to figure out how much I’ll need it’s either the usp compact 45 or the FNX tactical

[@projectredbeard2199]

Right around $1000

@@projectredbeard2199 awesome thanks for your time sir

[@projectredbeard2199]

@mmid8960 no problem! If you are looking for a more utilitarian pistol the usp 45 compact would get my vote. Just small enough to conceal yet large enough to be accurate and comfortable

[@mmid8960]

@@projectredbeard2199 due to the option H&K have on their website I’m gonna just go with the FNX I don’t wanna have to order a pistol I seen a few others say that’s their everyday carry my only worry was the size but I’m gonna carry it rib mounted holsters anyways I’ll be 21 in just 3 months another plus is the optic mount on the FNX I’m gonna go with the holosun hs507c for my red dot it will be around 1550 out the door

@@projectredbeard2199 I snagged a used one from my local Gun Shop on Black Friday for 540 Dollars. Shoots like a dream, only I hated the Mag release so I got one from the HK 45 C which is very slightly larger than the one on the USP and it works fine now. Thanks for your Great review!

Slick video. Looking at either as USPC or HKC 45. Did you get a chance to test a HK 45C before getting this? I have a USP9C that rocks so the natural evolution I thought would be to get a USP 45C. Got a lot of feedback on a posting asking for those who had both/experience for feedback. The majority went with the HKC vs the USPC. Most consistent reason was ergonomics. No one mentioned cost (USP about $400 more). Your thoughts.

[@projectredbeard2199]

I have held both but only shot the uspc, but by having them both in hand if I was gonna buy a compact it would be the uspc the grip on the hkc is smaller but it also feels slick in the hand, like the grip is not aggressive enough

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

Seconding the comments on the HK45C's grip. The texture is barely there. I was never confident in holding mine.

[@jesserodriguez8504]

I have one of these

[@Max-ye9xg]

The population density in California specifically Los Angeles and Orange County is way too high to have people running around with 30-round magazines and carrying guns on their hip
