Anyone have one ?? I have the chance to pick up a slightly used one for under 400.00. I will luckily have the chance to put a couple boxes though it before making my decision.

Any good or bad things to say about them ???

    Everything GOOD... nothing bad ! Hands down, the best firearm I own. Shoots incredible and is very accurate. Clean up real easy. You should pick up a few extra mags with the extended floor plate on them. I figure over 15,000 rounds have been through mine. It has never jammed. Blows the Glock family away !!
    I have 3 holsters for it. A Fobus, Desantis Leather, and a Kirkpatrick shoulder.

    Nothing bad.

    That particular model was, I hear, designed around the .40S&W cartridge.

    I found the .40 a little uncomfortable to shoot. Something about the balance in my hand.
    It was just me, not the gun. I like a little more weight in the grip with that cartridge.
    I have the 9mm now. Feels great.

    Airline pilots are permitted the USPC40, I've also heard.
    At least, that is what I was told when I sold my USPC40 to a pilot.

    One thing I know. My H&K has NEVER failed to feed and eject perfectly.

    The two letters before the serial number will give you the date of manufacture. For $400, it sounds like a 1998 or so.

    HK is a reliable, well built firearm. If it fits your hand you will not be sorry you bought it.

    I have owned SIGs, and Glocks as carry pistols and when I got my HK USP Compact 45 I new it was the hands down winner for me. Awesome pistols and at 400.00 you are getting a steal. They retail for around 7 something.

    Thanks for the replies so far. I have it as I write this and am really impressed with the shape it is in and the feel. After work tomorrow I will head to the range and run a box or two through it.

    Deal includeds the box, papers and two mags. It also has factory night sights. The guy that owns it used it for a back up so it has been carried alot and shot very little.
