Just because you have never dropped a mag, with a used weapon you can't be sure who owned it & how it was treated. I would buy a new magazine (hey, at the very worst you will have a new one to use & compare) and see how things work. The WWB ammo does have a lot of QC issues, but this sounds more like a feeding problem than anything else & the weak link here is likely a magazine. The weapon is probably fine, and someone was using the mags to do quick changes on a hard pavement or surface. The USP 40 should run many thousands of rounds without a problem, but magazines are sometimes hard to see a change in. Just my 2 cents worth...
Hk USP .40 double eject issue
Hi All. Im new to this forum and also a fairly new HK owner. I bought my Hk usp 40 new about three months and up untill about a month ago it has run flawlessly untill one day after a long day of shooting the gun ejected a live round out with a spent case. I thought it was a strange fluke at first but then it did it again and again. its always the last two rounds of magazine. Also last time out it started splitting cases.It split two cases out of two hundred both times caused a failure to eject. Could be bad brass. I was using winchester white box.My friend was using the same stuff and had no issues though.Please let me know what you guys think.

Well i bought the gun new but i do plan on buying some new mags. After all These are polymer mags and the feed lips do look a little gummed up. I would like to buy some of the steel magazines. I think the gun is fine too becuase i had it for a little over two months and put about 1000 rounds through it without any problems.

. . . you have no round in the chamber when this happens? and you have to rack the slide to fire again?
Is this correct?

It happens with the last two rounds of the magazine. I fire the one that is in the chamber and it ejects the spent case as well as the last round in the magazine and the slide does not lock to the rear.. . . you have no round in the chamber when this happens? and you have to rack the slide to fire again?

Did you check the followers on the mags as I suggested? Curious what you found
ya i tried to replicate the problem with snap caps and i couldnt get it to do it. I saw no deforming or anything. Im going to try and make it to the range this weekend and see what happens.Did you check the followers on the mags as I suggested? Curious what you found
I'm wondering if you did what I said ans swapped internals with the mag that does work of yours?
ya i did but i havent been able to test it
Hi guys i found the source of the problem. Its hard to explain but what was happening was the rounds were stacking in the magazine wrong. In other words when looking at the back of the magazine (the holes that show the round count) i can see the number 8 round is missing. I can see two stacked in the number 9 slot and one in the 10 spot. I took a picture but it turns out i cant post it. I hope you guys can picture what i am trying to explain. Anyways thanks for all of your help.
