HK USP 45 field pistol

@GJM I haven’t had time to reread this thread. What are your thoughts on the USP45c in the same role? I like the texture and trigger on the USP line a lot better but not sure about reliability with hotter 45 rounds.

The USP c was not reliable with Super, but the HK45C was.

Has the Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS retired your USP 45s from carry?

I just got my USP 45 FS back from the US factory where they converted it to a hybrid match LEM configuration, and did some other things. The parts were not bad but OOOFFF!!!

They charged me $160 an hour to swap the parts out

Note to self: Buy the parts and swap them out myself! F Me!

I don't mind paying a bit more for genuine HK springs and what not, buy sheeesh that labor bill!

I should be an HK mechanic.


On a brighter note,

The match LEM is AMAZING as compared to the old DA/SA trigger, which the DA was exceptionally heavy.

I am very excited to put the new trigger through its paces.

You’re gonna love it!

Would you all feel comfortable carrying a Match Lem as “self defense” gun? Either with or without the safety.


I’ve shot plenty of rounds through HKs but never a match LEM.

I don't see why not, even without a safety. The theory behind the LEM is that it is trigger pull length and not weight that makes it safe.

Yes.
Past year + I have been CCW USP 45s LEM and Match/LEM and shooting them every week.
Read GJM and Darryl Bolke on LEM and Match/LEM.

The LEM certainly is a great option safety wise. Almost too good for me in the V2 form.


Good that there is an even better LEM option that is safe for carry.

Yes for most field carry because of the dot, but nothing on earth truly replaces a USP FS with Super ammo.
