I have wanted one of these pistols for a long time but money and opportunity never crossed paths until Friday, when I spotted this one at the Evil Pawn Shop tucked back on the bottom pistol shelf, price tag said $379 so I grabbed it and started dealing, when I was finished I walked it out the door for,,,,$350 total :D
date code says she was built in 1994 but it is a very clean and good looking pistol.

here are the first 10 shots through it by me @ 15 yards averaging 1-1.5 seconds per shot.

I think the HK fits in quite nicely with my other carry guns and I'm tickled to finally own one

There are some guns in .40 that are a match made in heaven.

SIG P229
SIG P239

And most assuredly the HK USP/USPc/P2000

You will love it.

You should find a lathe & 20$ carbide boring bar, and bore it out to run 10mm from double-stack 1911 mags. It makes an excellent pistol, perfect. Ironically, the USP is probably among the cheapest entries into the 10mm game apart from RIA 1911s with low capacity magazines.

I have never had any interest at all in .40SW (it's still a compromised cartridge with few real-world benefits over 9x19mm).

But dang! For the prices I'm seeing really nice used and trade-in .40SW pistols these days, I might have to reconsider!

Never have understood all the caliber war stuff, even though I settled on the .40 for my EDC pistols, I have carry guns in 9 and 45 plus I'm looking for a P239 in 357 Sig just because I want one, I will carry a .380 in full confidence,plus I really like revolvers and all the calibers that goes with them

I’ve had one for a few years and it really is a nice gun. The one I have is a nice shooter smooth and reliable. I know some folks like to standardize on caliber/manufacturer, but I myself like variety and since I wanted a .40S&W why not the HK USP.

Love my USP 40. I recommend the reduced power hammer spring, makes the DA trigger pull much nicer and no issues here with failure to fire.

I prefer the USP Compact over the standard USP... the Compact magazines are used with the P2000, and the P30 magazines are based off them (longer, but fit).

My father got a .40 USP Compact, DAO version. Converted it to LEM as a Father’s Day present. It is his favorite pistol.
