Elite barrel fitting pads?
On my USP 45 standard size where the hood of the barrel mates up to the breechface is machined smooth, no protrusions. On the Elite 6" barrel there are two fitting pads (?). I wonder if these pads are there to allow the barrel to be hand fit to a closer tolerance. I've provided a link so you can see what I'm talking about. Inquiring minds want to know.

USP 45 vs Tactical, Expert, Elite
Thanks all for the replies. I meant to reply sooner but was recovering from surgery.
I have had HK's in the past (P2000 LEM V2, VP9's). I also had one USP 45 Elite I bought at one point in CA. I did not put much rounds through the Elite before selling it. I liked it a lot, but was moving out of CA and selling some things off and it made sense to sell all the handguns to someone else in CA vs bringing them along.
Anyway, I'm thinking something from HPG would work for carrying this. I normally AIWB carry a G19 and that's probably about as large as I can go before it looks too obvious that I'm carrying.
Is V1 still the preferred variant for a field USP45? I like LEM in theory and liked it when all I shot was the P2000. However I'm issued a G19 and since have switched to just carrying and shooting Glocks. That said, shooting a SA (Staccato CS) and Glock back to back doesn't screw with me as bad as what going from LEM to Glock and back would do. So I don't think shooting the SA/DA from time to time would be as bad.
I hope this was coherent, I'm still taking some meds
Pray for a full and complete recovery

I was stationed in Cali and felt the same way, leave/sell the items to those left behind.

I’ve been running a P30L in a FHF Chest Rig. I’ll have to see how a HK45 and USP fit and Report back.

Unlike the P30/P2000, the beauty of the USP series is you can have it your way and switch to your liking. I’m waiting for the GrayGuns trigger to switch to a Match LEM.

It’s the only way to fly! I remember after getting my wisdom teeth pulled fresh in the Marine Corps, I got Vicodin for the first time. I was reading a book and saw the words coming off the page. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!!!!
