Dude, you have dinosaurs where you live. Florida is the scariest place in the US for it's fauna, nevermind the human weirdos.
Was gonna include the video of the giant ass Gator on the golf course but it's been pulled down for some reason I guess?

Black bears and anacondas. You definitely need Super.
Looking forward to your impressions of the USP compact. 9mm? Specifically, how its characteristics compare to the 45c and wether you might consider the usp 9c a good sub caliber trainer for the HK45C.
I think it makes sense to have a couple of HK pistols around because their 10-shot mags actually work. That could come in handy if gun laws get screwy.

My bad.
I know, right. (Enabler #1)
Haha. Good point. That said, the most useful gun in the woods here is a 38/45 cal revolver filled with snake shot.(Enabler #2)
And there the allusive need. haha (Enabler #3)
I picked up a USP 9 a few weeks back, and I blame it on a couple of drinks and this thread.
I sent it to HK for the LEM match hybrid, and it is indeed an extremely nice implementation of the trigger compared to the P series, which I also really like. Great CS from HK all around, btw.
Limited time at the range with it last week comparing it to a 4.1 P30 and the usual G4G19. Split times were comparable across the three, and I did manage a .19 split or two. I hit a FAST time of 5.89 from concealment, clean, on the second try. That was pretty darn good for me.
Mags launch out of the frame with surprising authority. If there was a factory extended polymer mag release and a slimmer profile slide release lever it would be even more shootable with the thumbs up grip I typically use. I tended to ride the stock slide release with the side of my support thumb some of the time, keeping it from locking back on an empty mag.
Having not shot a full sized USP in several years, I'd forgotten how much they just _feel_ like they mean business.
Re: The shootability of the flat panel USP vs newer P series. I've been shooting my VP9 the most at matches, but have recently converted my USP to the hybrid LEM. I find that I love the USP trigger this way but I find the flat sides to be harder to hold onto during recoil. With the Spider-Man grips I usually use a medium blackstrap and large sides which gives my palms a pretty good contact area to hold on to. Side by side with the USP during an extended string my support hand will creep forward gradually. I have average hands, size L glove, and a pretty good handle on things with the VP9/p30sk. With my USP/p2000sk I run into difficulty slipping.
I see a preference for the flat sides amongst accomplished shooters, am I doing something wrong?
So, the HK45-C is impervious to regular use of .45 Super while the same ammo (and similar use) is hard on the USP45-C? I'm confirming this because somehow I had in my mind that the 45-C and the USP-C were (internally) the same gun.
Do you have thoughts on why that might be? Does the HK45-C have the USP45-F recoil mechanism?
How goes the match hybrid LEM trigger in a USP compare to a gray guns reduced reset lem in a P30?
