HK USP 45 field pistol

[GJM]

Before I forget, I have a Safariland 6004 SLS holster for an HK45 with an X series light, and the USP without a light fits in there perfectly.

No, the original 9/40 USP mags are all plastic.

Please forgive my late arrival here, accompanied by my ever - present thread drift. After reading the previous posts, I do have a semi-relevant question. I have owned 2 H&K P30SK's and currently own a VP9SK that was purchased in March 2021 and have never seen an H&K plastic magazine. Is it just the USP's that have plastic magazines?

I believe it was addressed in another thread but 9mm and 40SW USPs came with plastic mags (w/metal inserts) and the USP45 & 45c came with metal mags.

I like that muzzle flash. I'd like to know more about incidents where a warning shot provoked a charge. I have a theory that muzzle flash helps avoid that. I haven't seen a warning shot provoke a charge but I've seen them have no effect or send the bear running in the wrong direction entirely.

I had a PH in Zimbabwe that was convinced the muzzle blast from a full auto FN FAL had turned charging leopards.

Its just the original USP Full size in 9&40. They came with polymer magazines. Those two models continue to use the polymer mags. They are all polymer, not metal lined as mentioned above. You can literally see it in the German translucent USP mags.

All subsequent HK polymer pistols including the USP 45 AND USP Compact use metal magazines.

Glock started with all polymer mags then went to metal lined. I belive partial metal lined first then the fully metal lined.

There is an optional "Jet Funnel" mag for the USP9 FS that is metal lined polymer. On HKPro, they are discussed as the most durable/reliable/bombproof HK mags ever made, which would be saying something if true.

In the HK USP9mm mag I just took apart, the feed lips and the back part and sides of the inside of the mag have metal lining.

I believe this to be the case with the .40 as well.

My understanding is that the translucent white mags do not have as much metal reinforcement and are not recommended for duty.
