Anybody take a soldering iron to the USP or USPc grips, similar to what people have done to Glocks?
I have done some work to my 2nd generation G17, with great results, but can't find any online information about anyone attempting the same modification to a USP or USPc.
I would love to hear comments.
Thanks
John

I think people rarely see it neccesary. USPc have more positive, less slippery grip than Glock. Some thinks that it's too aggresive and use rubber sleeve grips to soften it.

I known a few people that have done it. I find it easier to put grip tape on it since I find the checkering too slippery.

I don't find it necessary either. The USPs grip texture and the stippling on the front and backstrap is much more aggressive then whats on the Glocks. Also, I have seen some Glocks done that look good, but I have also seen others that look like complete hack jobs. If anything I would just put a grip sleeve on it and call it a day.

One more for thinking it is not necessary. I like mine the way they are.

 

[johnson27]

me too

I think the grip is much better than my stock G17 was, and the front and backstrap are very sharp.
I guess I know why nobody has this done.....its just not necessary, and, I wouldn't do it just for the hell of it. Only if it served a purpose.
+1 on the USPc 45 as a "shooter". I just love it.

+1 to grip tape.

I got the brownells medium grip-tape, and it literally locks the gun in your hand, PLUS, its not permanent, and doesn't damage the value of the gun at all.

Just make sure you get all the grease or other stuff off the frame before you put it on, and it sticks very well!

NOTE - Thats the factory test target for another thread!

Not mine, but a buddies XD with custom work:

Whoever did that XD took their time with it, it really looks good. I have seen Glocks that were mangled by people attempting to do the same thing but obviously not having any clue about how to do it. Not to mention people who attempt to "chop" their Glock grips with nothing more than a hack saw. Oh the horror!

Also, that MK23 is so nice!

Send it off to Bowie Tactical! He chopped and stippled a G19, and stippled a G21 for me and it looks like it was done at the factory. That's not all he does, either. Cool guy doing really cool stuff!

I think if done right it can be an upgrade...

But doing it right is the key. Doing it wrong makes you the proud owner of a stupidly expensive paper weight.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
An XD Is the illegitimate inbred child of a Glock and a Sig. Springfield had to go all the way to the Croatia to find these bastard children because they were abandoned there by their parents in hopes that nobody would find these ugly sub-par guns. That's why they are so cheap


The XD, in ANY form scores a big fat ZERO for looks in my book.

Ah, c'mon now...I liked my XDs ^_~
