TRy Ameriglo, they have a specific front sight for the USP Expert, it is shorter than the tactical front sight

Andy, The rear sight on the USP Expert sits lower due to a cut out section at the rear of the slide. This allows the Front sight to be lower on the expert than it is on the tactical, which means, unfortunately, than the sights for the tactical will not work on the expert. They will fit on, but the Front sight will be too tall.

Perhaps somebody out there knows of a set that will work, but I do not.

Thanks,
Jeray

Cool, Good Job Maurice, that was fast BTW.

 

[andreabert]

thanks u guys.

Maurice, im looking on ameriglo, and i have found the front sight ...
it's appear to be nice...

but.. what about the rear??
i want a adj rear tritium sight...

guys.. do u think that the rear mepro adj tritium sight linked at my first post does work on my expert??

any other idea ????


i have shot with usp first time this evening... first time i fire with a .40.. i always shoot with my 1911 .45....
and ..yeah...usp is a very nice gun...
one bad thing only... i really dont like the sight.. too big and dark....

 

[Maurice]

Not too sure about that rear sight, but I think ameriglo would have a rear one that would work, however, you will not be as precise. The problem with using a Tactical adjustable sight set on the Expert is that the rear can only go up so high, not high enough to bring the POI up to a reasonable level ( it will be hitting very low). But, you should be able to use the rear Mepro with the front Ameriglo Expert sight. ( I think.....)

 

[andreabert]

Maurice
im thinking the same as u.. use the ameriglo front sight and the mepro rear adj. sight...

i only want to be sure that the rear mepro sight fit on my expert.

if someone here know that, or have already used this mepro rear adj sight on a usp expert, please let me know so i will buy it.
thank guys
ciao

I went to the HK Germany website. It appears that the Mepro rear adjustables will fit on an Expert. I would contact Mepro light themselves and inquire if you are unsure.

Alternative Sights for USP Expert

This is an old thread, but it seems that there was no final answer from anyone on whether the suggestions given would work.
I would also be interested in changing the sights on my USP Expert to something more viewable (given my slightly failing eyesight)!

All info appreciated.

Tomans.

 

[tomans]

Sights?

Just bumping tyhis back up to see if there are possible advice or answers.

Thanks.

This will work fine in an Expert ~ I have in the Elite, Expert 45 & 9 and Tac.

I have however replaced the front Tritium with one from Ameriglo that is slightly shorter (than the Tac height sight) but only on my Elite and Experts. This give me a greater range of adjustments but it will work with the taller front sight.

 

[tomans]

Appreciated. Many thanks.

Just found this thread while searching for something else... I'm going to bump this with confirmation that I have had Mepro's adjustable nightsights on my expert 45 for 6 years. They work well and the pistol is as accurate/consistant as with the original sights.

I also have the Mepro's on my USP Expert .45, much better than having no dots at all.

Only problem: I had a gunsmith mount them. When I finally got to the range a couple months later, I realized that he sighted them - at what distance I do not know. I tried to work it out and played around with the sights at the range, but with little experience behind the gun, it has really screwed me up.

Do you or anyone know at what distance the adjustable sights are set from the factory or what will be a good distance to set them at (gun will be for defense, not completion)?
I want to take it in to be professional sighted before I shoot it again. I will be great to have a new start point.

 

[azimuth]

I zeroed mine at like 15 yards. My thinking then was that most of my engagements would be at or near that range.

 

[orfeo]

I believe HK zeros their handgun sights at 25 yards.
