So I just purchased a secondary USP45 for range practice and fun. My first USP45 has gone 1325 rounds without failure.
Well two days ago at the range the new USP45 jammed. I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe it was the ammo or I had somehow limp-wristed it. Looking back I havent gotten much sleep in the last week and the day before I went to the range I had just started going back to the gym as school is over for summer and I actually have time now. My arms were extremely sore.
The total round count is 314 rounds with 4 jams. 2 of those jams were intentional limp wristing.
I also have been working on modifying my hold to try to gain more accuracy and I may have relaxed too much.
Anyways after the jam and I thought I might've limpwristed it... I held the gun one handed and intentionally limpwritsted it. JAM! Both jams looked identical. Nose of the cartridge against the top of the chamber just like pictures from Orfeo. But these were not occurring on the last couple rounds like his posts where there was a mishapen extractor...
The jam occured again later when I was not intentionally trying to limpwrist...
So tomorrow Im going to the range (I thoroughly cleaned the USP) with 200 rounds of ammo and I'm going to mark my magazines just incase and focus on keeping my grip tight. If it jams again its going to HK...
I have 5 magazines 3 are 1 year old and were loaded most of the year (I just ordered 3 replacement springs) and the 2 new ones that came with the new USP.
I will let all of you know the results tommorrow. I am much more rested and not incredibly sore anymore.
Until then? Thoughts and comments would be much appreciated.
