Thread: Gettin rid of my USPc

See, I prev had a 1911 for many years - so using the thumb safety is fine with me. I like it. But, I willa dmit that I shoot all of my other guns a bit better than my USPc. But, thats me - I tend to shoot sub 4" guns worse. But, the gun is very nice.

I thought about selling my USPc if I don't buy a PS90 and adding the money together to buy a Nighthawk 1911. But, to be honest - while I do like 1911s... I don't shoot them any better than I do my P99 - And whats the point of spending nearly $2500 on a pistol that I won't shoot any better.

So, I think I'll probably keep mine

You should be able to change the variant of your USP to DA/SA or DAO fairly easily (provided that's your only gripe with the gun). Mine's a Variant 1 DA/SA I carry it without the safety, hammer down.

That was what I was thinking. What do you mean by SAO btw? I don't think any HK's are SAO

Maybe Im wrong in thinking this, but I thought that since theres no DA on the gun, it made it a SAO.

But regardless, Id still like a smaller gun. Id love a P2000sk, but I dont have that kind of spending cash.

And just out of curiosity, how would I change it to a DA/SA anyway?

I never seen a USP that was SAO. I would keep it anyway. It is easy enough to change the control lever for left handed people.

What happens if U drop the hammer and then try to pull the trigger. I would assume U have a DA/SA - but you've been keeping it cocked and locked. That's what I do. I have never seen a SAO USP either.

It sounds like you have a DAO model. HK's LEM trigger. Does the hammer stay back on it?

The hammer is always back.

So when the hammer is down can you bull the trigger and make it fire?

OK now I'm cornfused too...I looked at the varients and it doesn't look like there's a SAO, like a 1911, variant.
Did it have an LEM (very light smooth double action only) trigger job done?

From HK Pro:

I think Im confusing everyone.

Looking at the picture, Im gonna say I had variant 1, but everytime I shot, the hammer was cocked. Is there a way to decock it so it becomes DA?

Either way, as of today, the gun is no longer in my possesion. To see what I got to take its place check out the S&W section.

The safety lever is a decocker if you press it all the way down past fire. Congrats on your new gun though.

what's involved with converting a usp40 from righty to lefty controls? is this something you can easily do yourself or are there alot of expensive parts involved?

U may want to go ask at www.hkpro.com

will do, thanks

Before you go with the M&P check out the p2000sk (v3) it comes in 9mm, .357/.40 and it's a da/sa I have one and it's the best cw i've ever owned.

Dude you're a lotta to late, the original post is from 2006 and as you can see by the OPs signature, he already has the M&P. Perhaps somebody else will find your advice useful.
