New USPc issues?
Hey Guys,
I finally can let myself post! I picked up my new USP Compact today!
I left my LGS and went strait home to give it its first clean up. Once I was was done I packed up and hit the range...
After putting ~150 rounds through, I had counted 13 failure to feeds and/or extract...
I was shooting Blazer Brass, Independence, and Remington UMC all 115 grain 9mm.
Do I need to keep braking in my USP? I know this is not normal H&K love.
Any thoughts or comments? Is this normal for a first time out?
Were the failures with specific ammo or random?

This plus what were the failures? Same failure each time? My sothern rithmatic says that is close to 1 failure per mag. Was that the case or spaced out? Give us a tad more info. Never had that type of bad luck on new break in.Originally Posted by gtmtnbiker98
It seemed to be across the board for ammo... I had a box of each and tried with four different mags, all 10 rounders per my great state of California. The Blazer was the last box I shot and wasn't as bad but still had three jams.
The second shot ever failed to go into battery, then for a few mags the last round (10th) failed the same way. Then mainly failed to extract and stove piped (out toward side) once or twice per mag randomly.
I stared to think if it was me limp-wristing it but I am certain it want. I switched to my Walther to verify my shooting abilities and was fine.
A branny new gun, and one that is "broken in" can act differently. If there was limp wristing going on, it will be more evident on the new gun.
Just to cover a simple base, you said you cleaned it, but did you oil it back well? Try going up to a little "stronger" round. Maybe just needs the hell shot out of it.
I just got mine too. I shot 150 rounds of Speer 124gr out of it and not one problem. I would try some 124's next time out.
Are you stovepiping? You didn't give nearly enough information of what is going on.
Reload your mags, the first round out is #10, the next #9, then #8, and so on. Round #1 is at the bottom of the mag. Keep track of them. When you have a problem, note what round it was on. Get back to us.
You sir are not a doctor, but a god.Maybe just needs the hell shot out of it.
Tomorrow I guess I will have to go back out to the range... and if anyone gives me a hard time for two days in a row I'll blame it on you all and hope they don't see my big smile.
Thanks guys for the input and advice. I'll be back after a great day at the range "researching"...
I bought a used USPc looks like about 200 round thru it. so far I shot 500 and its flawless. try one more time and if it jams send it back to HK.
