Howdy yall,
Greetings from the Texas coast!!! Been lurking on this forum for a month or so while I researched USPs and now that I'm in the process of finding one decided it was the time to join yall's fine ranks. I've been trying to find a brand new USP40 but as it would turn out the only thing I've been able to find in the entire city is horrible condition used USP40s from the mid 90s that look like they are in worse fighting shape than my 90 year grandmother. I prefer to hold in my hands and visually inspect something before I spend money on it, but I figure I'll probably have to buy one online. Bud's has a 10R mag for under 820 so probably just have to get that one and spend $60 on a couple new high cap mags. The only difference between a 704001A5 and a M704001A5 would be the capacity of the two mags right?
But yeah, I've carried Glocks for years since the first day I could legally carry and put thousands upon thousands of rounds down range with them. But I started noticing that I could shoot the subcompact hammer guns I have better than the full sized Glock I carry every day. So as one open to constant improvement and growth decided to consider hammer fired guns that have a reputation that precedes them and have years of real world testing and between Sig, 1911s, and HK the USP won hands down. I was really surprised I've known many LEOs over the years that carry Sigs and 1911 variants, but I found the USP to be far superior in terms of ergonomics and function especially since I'm left handed.
But wish me luck on my hunt for a USP40, I'm looking forward to picking this forum's knowledge when I try to convert it to variant IV and put nite sights on.
