I like this weapon. It was very easy to use and rarely jammed on me.

Probaly one of the most accurate production handguns ive seen in a .45 caliber, it is a solid weapon it has over a 4 inch barrel which makes it extremely accurate its kind of heavy but that is the only negative thing about it.

I too am, a southpaw! When I was in the academy, we were using the old .38 specials and it took me twice as long to load and unload, b/c I had to switch hands. Luckiily, where it count, I hit the targets either between the eyes or in the chest, so the attention was off me for a minute. I got sick of this though and went out and borrowed a friends H &K. I was afraid of it at first, but agree that it is easier to use than most weapons for left-handed people.

this weap is made of great quality and holds up well and fits my hand well.

One of the finest weapons made in my opinion. Extremely accurate, good ergonomics, great mag capacity for a .45 cal. Come tax return time this will be my next purchase.

I have used the H&K USP.45 Tactical, for three years now. it is the best handgun that i have ever owned. It fires in any weather condition; dirty or not. I have never had a malfunction with this weapon and it is extremely accurate. I used to be a firm believer in the Glock until i picked up the H&K. Now I use the H&K .45 for a duty weapon and an H&K .40 (compact) as a backup/off duty weapon.

i love my v-1, so smooth hardly any recoil and the factory night sights really do work

Good feeling, reliable. Love .45 ACP, the true American Caliber!!!

I USED TO OWN THIS WEAPON AND IT WAS THE MOST RELIABLE, PROFICIENT PIECE OF MACHINERY [TO ME] EVER BUILT. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SHOT THIS WEAPON TRY IT. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED.

I have shot this pistol and it has a good feel to it, even with my small hands. Not so good for onehanded shooting for people with small hands. The only problem I have ever had with this is that it jams with factory target loads. It seems to like hot loads when shooting. Over all I love this pistol just as much as my good Ole 1911.

Germans engineered a great pistol, small hands may have problems, functions great, accurate wish I could carry personal at work. All around great pistol

I bought 2 traded one felt so badly that I've bought another to replace it. Absolutely love this pistol and will not willingly part with them next time. My first one has about 10,000 total rounds through it without a hicup.

Great overall duty gun. 12 + 1 of .45acp, accurate, dependable and a tough finish, what's not to like. Well worth the money for personal purchase. Departments would be served well as a dept. issue gun.

Very dependable gun. Couldn't ask for more!! Nuff said above!

Decent weapon. Would still have mine if I did not sell it. However, this weapon cannot compete with a Glock.

i carry this while on duty , and wouldn't trade it for any other weapon . ( the 12 lbs. trigger pull takes a little getting used to !! )

Well manufactured.

We just switched to HK from Glock. I know everyone has their own preference. This is by far, mine. Pretty much everything has already been said, so I won't bore anyone. I like it, and I highly recommend it.

Very good duty weapon. Considerably light when fully loaded, considering the weight of the rounds. Easy to use/manipulate safety. Dependable and trust worthy.

Awesome weapon for lefty's or righty's will not go, with any other gun.

Another lefty chiming in, I've carried a USP .45 since 1999. It is accurate, reliable, and comfortable to shoot. It is nice to have a gun that comes in a left-handed variant after years of adjusting to guns that were right hand only.

Excellent for left-hand folks like me. A little on the heavy side but who's complaining?

The smoothest and most accurate pistol that I have ever fired. I have the USP 45 and the USP 9MM.

Deadly accurate. Utterly reliable. Easy follow up shots.

DURABLE, ACCURATE, AND DEPENDABLE.

Great weapon, highly accurate and easy to use. This is my next gift to myself.

It has never failed on me, even under the most odd and critical situations. Granted, mine doesn't have a safety. I have two other H&Ks and they are equally reliable.

This weapon doesn't have malfuntions... only the operators that cause them. It just doesn't get any better than an HK .45! I conducted a Sig versus H&K combat/target shoot one time and a female target shooter took the prize operating a USP .45 V-1.

I've carried this gun for several years. It has never jammed on me and I've put a lot of rounds through it. I was considering switching to a Glock because of some problems with my consistancy of shot placement, but have made some adjustments to my shooting style and have brought it all together. Great gun even for the price!

Good firearm but I personally hate the heavy trigger and the bulk of this weapon. It is my standard issue weapon for SERT but I prefer the Glock. I would like to try it with the LEM kit.

I had this gun when I was working dope. The best gun my PD ever bought.

H&K...nuff said. If you really need to know it is an accurate, reliable easy to point and shoot sidearm. Not as cheap as a glock (currently issued and forced to carry G23). I am a compact fan (8+1)..easy to conceal, and still super accurate and uber reliable. I am in the process of getting the HK45C (not the USP) and am currently the owner of the HK45 (again NOT THE USP). The HK45 and HK45C have FINALLY got the picatinnay rail system so that you can now choose and use whatever light/laser YOU want instead of buying a setup from HK (their civ setups didn't do much for me). I use the surefire x300 on my G23 when needed and on the HK45 again when needed. The ONLY downside I have found to the HK45C is that the trigger guard extends too long forward and makes accepting the x300 on the rails impossible.

O.K. gun I hate the trigger pull I guess I just need to shoot it more. The gun is huge and hard to conseal.

I guess alot of my dislike with this weapon is that HK allowed our department to screw up a great thing. We were only allowed to carry "Variant 5" versions of this weapon. This makes them very uncomfortable to shoot. We carried these for 3 years and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It weighs a ton too. I fired other HK's and have loved them but the though of a USP 45 makes me cringe.

Will kick a Glocks ass!! Great shooting gun!

Best gun I own. I started carrying it almost 10 years ago when the department first authorized it. I have never had a problem with it, except for the fact that it doesn't like the lightweight, Nancyboy load packed into the department's enviro-friendly practice ammo. In the field, however, it performs extremely well. The sight picture is easy to acquire, the weapon maintains a solid feel in the hand from the first round, through the 13th, and it is just a bad-ass gun overall. Not to mention the fact that I shoot better with it than I do the department-issued Beretta 92F.

This is a great gun. I like it in 9mm or 45. It isn't as good as a Sig but I pick it after one.

I LOVE this gun! Its easy to shoot and my accuracy was pretty good!

This weapon can take a significant amount of abuse and never fail to function. I bet my life on this one every time I suit up.

"NO COMPROMISE"
THE PERFECT HOME DEFENSE WEAPON IF YOU DON'T WON'T A SHOTGUN.

I have been using the Usp 45 Tactical since 2004 and I love it.

although I've never owned one, I have shot one one numerous occasions. H&K makes quality weapons

i own 2 sidearms. my everyday carry weapon is a springfield xd45. the other a usp. i'm completely in love with the springfield and has proved very reliable for the price. my usp is my trophy. my baby. my backup weapon should my springfield decide to take a dump on me. always there and always ready to rock. hk makes such fine guns. the mp5. hk94. even the mp7 is making itself known. overall, i am very pleased with the handling and the action of the usp. i dont think i'll ever let go of it.

Extremely accurate, Extremely Reliable. All around fantastic duty weapon.

My first carry gun. I should have never sold it. Put thousands of rounds through it, and it worked like it did when I first bought it.

I have carried a Glock all of my LEO Career (17 years) and have considered no other. I was at the range the other day and one of the firearms instructors had one of these and offered to let me shoot it. I fell in love with it. It feels good in the hand, I like the sight configuration and the recoil was minimal. As I too am a lefty, I liked the fact that the mag release and the decock were accessible. I have since shot another one for several hundred rounds and can't find a fault with it. I plan to purchase one as soon as I have the money. A wonderful pistol.

Only superceded in my opinion by it's big brother the MK. 23, this is a superb sidearm. True, there are lighter, smaller, quicker on the draw, etc. etc...but the H&K USP series is one that'll never fail you, simply put.

This is an extrordinay weapon and well worth having. The USP Compact .45 is and excellent concealment/backup weapon. I fired a perfect score with mine the first time I ever fired it out of the box. It is extremely dependable, easy to maintain, and provides effective protection and stopping power.

I read the reviews on this Gun and bought it. it is ok but i still prefer the Springfield model myself

I bought this as a retirement gift to myself. It is about the best handgun I have ever fired. Workmanship, reliability and accuracy are all top notch.

I OWN THIS USP 45.,AND PROUD OF IT,IT IS IN A CLASS ALL BY IT'S SELF.I ALSO
HAVE THE SPRINDFIELD XD. 45. ACP...COST WISE THE SPRING... WAS MORE, BUT AS FAR
AS MY WAEPON OF CHOICE! THEY BOTH PISTOLS HAVE THE STAGGARD MG. 12+1,
I T JUST FEELS MORE ME, AND MORE ACCURATE W/ THE H&K....A FIVE STAR MUST
FOR BOTH PISTOLS, IN THE WINTER MONTHS, HAVEING MY (C.W.P). I TEND TO CARRY THIS
TRICKED OUT ( I HAD A LOCAL GUNSMITH DO $850.00 OF ED WILSON CUSTOM WORK ) I JUST CAN'T COMPLAIN, SUMMER MONTHS THE 40.CAL. IS CARRIED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME..

Sweet Gun

Because its the best handgun ever produced in the universe.

My department issued these about 5 years ago. I think it is a very reliable weapon. I have had no trouble with it on the range.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOOTING GUN. VERY ACCURATE

I have owned a pair of the H&K USP 45 ACP since 2000. I carry them on duty... Best side arm I have owned in my 25 years.

Great firearm.

I had one of these before and it was fantastic. I was so sad to see it go.

Fun gun! Pretty easy shot too. 9/10

good product handles great in all types of weather

Great weapon, a little heavy for some shooters, over all great product.

I have carried this weapon on duty for 12 years. The accuracy and reliability is exceptional. In the moment of truth it performed flawlessly.

Excellent weapon! One of the BEST Handguns for duty made. The only complaint I ever had with it was the cost of magazines (about $50 a piece!)

Very accurate, when I had the opportunity to use one on the range.

Outstanding firearm weapon during my enlistment with the U.S. Marine Corps, Special Operation Unit (SOU) and Special Operation Training Group (S.O.T.G.). Highly recommended.

great weapon

while in the Army hated the Browning 9mm. Bought my first and only USP 45 in 98 and never looked at anything else. Excellent weapon, acurate, smallest recoil and never lets you down. I shoot a Glock 19 at work for the State Department and when on leave I have to go and shoot a real pistol, MY USP 45. Just shoot it and you will never go back, but if you have small hands try another pistol with it.

I am totally impressed with this weapon. My department recently transitioned from the Beretta 9mm to the H&K .45. I hit the range for a cold qual and shot 48 and 49 of 50. This was my first time handling the weapon and it felt very smooth an comfortable. I am confident carrying this particular handgun and am happy withthe overall ease of use !

I love this weapon, it is extremly accurate and easy to use.

I shot one of these for the first time this past Sunday and was impressed. I had heard of the rep this gun had and it was very easy and fun to shoot. The one I shot had a silencer on it and it was still very very to shoot.

Love the gun, but sucks to find holsters for...

I want to know where thehell you can get the Gun for $650.

This is my current duty weapon and I have carried one for 5 years. Its the right size in the perfect caliber. Though it is a bit much for off duty carry.

An outstanding firearm, my departments side arm, only in the 9mm model. We also have the .45 for the SERT boys. I bought the .45 for myself. Downside very large handgun, and as said above mags seem to be on the higher side compared to other makers. One other complaint, the armors course is a little harder to get now that Blackwater has taken over.

H&K USP is a fine firearm. Quality is outstanding. Have fired the .45 but I do not own it. The grip is comfortable allowing for a tight and steady grip for those with large hands. Trigger pull is fluid, with a crisp break. Recoil is lighter than average for a .45 although the weapon did seem to have a slight touch of muzzle flip when compared to the Smith S&P .45.

I own and have shot many rounds through my USP. I love it its very accurate and reliable.

This is a wonderful weapon. A little pricey but worth it. I have smaller hands and it still feels great to grip and use.

Very low recoil, easy to clean, disassemble and reassemble and extremely accurate.

As a member or the Irish Defence Forces I can definitely give it the thumbs up. Accurate and user friendly.

I am a fan of h&k usp .45 however the high point may be cheaper and just as reliable.

This is my second choice for a duty weapon…

Its easy to load no jams plus the extra room in the clip

I purchased one these fine firearms a few months ago and firmly believe it was one of the best purchases I have made in quite some time. Unfortunately, due to Army standards, i cannot carry it for duty, but I carry it concealed off duty all the time. Great ammo capacity of a heavy round, very reliable and rugged as hell....I love it!!

I have been in law enforcement for eighteen years and my department went with H & K USP . 45 about two years ago. This is an excellent duty weapon and there has been no problems with this firearm.

I do not personally own one (price). However, my good buddy does. I personally have put at least 300 rds through this weapon and it performs flawlessly every time. I carry a S&W 40 and to tell the truth there is negligable difference with the recoil. this is just my opinion. Put Federal Hydra Shocs in it and you have a most formitable weapon.

The H&K .45 is a superior weapon. I just purchased mine about a year ago and it out perform any .45 I have ever shot. I know that I can count on this at any moment without any problems surfacing.

i am a 1911 guy, but i tried this weapon and was impressed by the performance that it demonstrated

hands down the best .45 i have fired! 1911 based design and the base model for the H&K MK23. smooth action, can be carried cocked and locked, double stacked mag for extra round capacity. well worth the $900 non-department price tag!

It's big and reliable. I've shot several different hollow points and regular ball ammo with no jams or stove pipes. It's muzzle flip is minimized by the design of the recoil spring. The trigger is smooth as hell. Love mine. I've got the variant w/the safety, decocker option with the hammer.Got it used for 475 two years ago. Mags are high but everything is now.

I have had many handguns but this is the best of all of them.

I just love this gun! HK is #1!

i have 2 hk 45's. i love them. i would tell anyone that they should own one. i have not had any trouble out of it.

Have heard only good reports on these, otherwise guess the SEALS wouldn't have picked them....but there is some interesting stuff on a website I found that refutes that they may not
be best choice if you're getting into some really dirty situations. This link is a torture test (more
than I have ever seen anyone put something through) of a Glock, but he did some alongside
comparison with a H&K USP Compact and after seeing this, I probably wouldn't buy one. Nothing at all against them as this is probably most extreme test you could put something
through and anyone knows that you keep your duty arms clean and inspected, but if you had
to chase someone down through a creek into the mud...it may fail...

I carry this on duty and quilify with it all the time. No problems, it's a great pistol.

This was my duty weapon at a previous Department. This is one of the finest operating pistols that I have ever shot. The accuracy and reliablility is unbelievable.

Have used it since 2005. Good quality. Cost as much too order it left handed as to add night sights. My only complaint is the double action trigger pull is way too long and heavy.

Excellent Firearm I have loved mine since purchase.

Another winner made by H&K.

Grate gun to small for my hands though.

I use tis weapon with a H&K UTL as my on duty carry weapon it is an agency issue. I am a big guy and I like big guns. This is an accurate weapon when used correctly and is very reliable. We also have the choice to carry a Glock 45 or a Springfield XD 45, while both are great systems, I still prefer my H&K.

I don't really like USPs but in a .45, for some reason, they're awsome.

Greatest weapon I've had the priviledge to own. In my opinion it is the Cadillac of handguns.

I love .45's!
Their my favorite

Great gun

the usp is reliable, and can be easily customized to fit any situation. it is powerful, accurate, simple, and will encourage its user just by holding it :D but the colt m1911 .45 ESX series is better :D its just not an option :D the USP is my second fav!

One of the best firearms I have ever owned/used. I have been issued everything from Berretta 9mm's to Kimber 1911's, and I would have to say that the USP especially in 45ACP is one of the top sidearms I have used.

Have carried Glock, Kimber, USP .40 and for the last 4 years the USP .45. Have never had a malfuction in many thousand of rounds. Has withstood all I can throw at it and is by far the most durable duty weapon I have carried.

love this one I have the .40 indestructible, head shots all day long when you buy op for night sights and threaded barrel cause no one has the sight tool cause they only know how to work on glocks and you will end up putting on with brass punch, and you will be looking to put on a can even if you don't think you will you will so save the extra bucks in the long run. Comes with 13rnders get the 16rnders with funnel too.
