Hey y'all! Wanted to give a 2000 round range report on my USP 9 Tactical that I run exclusively suppressed with my SilencerCo Osprey. I picked her up back in February and so far, I have 2000 rounds through it. I've run 1500 rounds of 150 grain Federal Syntech and 500 rounds of 147 grain Fiocchi through it. Thus far, I have only ever had 2 failures to eject, both with 150 grain Federal Syntech which were back to back on the very first day within the first 100 rounds on the gun. Overall, I am extremely impressed and have kept everything completely stock on the gun other than adding a little hockey tape to the grip and swapping the factory tactical sights for a set of MeproLight Tru-Dot sights as I didn't like having all-blacked sights in combo with the suppressor. Overall, it definitely shoots best and extremely clean with the Federal Syntech. The Fiocchi has been unproblematic other than being extremely dirty and sending a good amount of gas/carbon back into your face. Needless to say, I'm an HK addict now and have already started expanding the collection with an SL8 for a conversion project and will be picking up an SP5 in the next few months as well. Big thanks to all of you guys on this forum for always making such informative posts, I read through quite a few before I ended up diving in and getting my first HK.

Not sure you could make a better choice for your first HK! Looks great and I'm glad you're loving it.
Nice write up and a fun gun to run suppressed. Lose the tape, toughen up the mitts my friend.
I love (and I do mean LOVE) the USP checkering that HK put on the USP series. The USP stays firmly put under recoil and fast fire.

The tape is ugly. That's why I like it. It shows a purpose driven use rather than "OMG, I must protect my safe queen" use. Guns that look like they've been there, done that are far more attractive than NIB. Respect.
Maybe said another way, if it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
Good pistol. Not a collector's item. Doing what it's meant to do. Congrats.

As the forums show, HKs are working guns. I like to see the safe queens, but admire HKs getting to do what their creators made them to do.
That is a work of art, and thanks for the report. I have a SP5, and if I get pistol this Xmas, this'll be it!
Could you please share which specific sights you got? Also, does it clear the osprey? Thank you!
What do the insides look like? The slide all around inside, frame etc?
Have the meat and potatoes of the pistol held up well over the year?
