I just took in a LNIB USP 45 Tactical and it is nice. Now my question/s....

Will never get a can, so should I swap out the barrel and get the standard barrel.

So without a can I won't need the tall sights, so swab them out with night sights.

Or, do I just sell it and get a standard USP 45?

I do like the match trigger, although my other HK's are LEM.

Am I defeating the purpose of the Tactical by making those changes and lowering the value of the pistol significantly?

Thanks

Keep it and convert it to a LEM. Then it's a match/hybrid LEM.

Keep it and convert it. I know would miss the match trigger and match sights plus the o-ringed barrel if I were to sell my tactical to get a standard USP. YMMV

Didn't need much persuading...just ordered night sights and a standard barrel. Just needed a little nudge. Thanks.

Why wouldn't you just keep the threaded one? It's longer and has the o ring?

I was thinking the same thing??? Oh well, his decision but I do agree

I'd just keep the threaded one......'course if'n ya don't want it, you can send it to me. hehe.

Thanks for the feedback. My decision to convert was that I'll never use a can and I plan on using this as my IDPA pistol. I really like the match trigger, but prefer to use LEM on my carry pistols. Buying a standard USP and converting it seemed to be the longest path, so I decided to stay with the Tactical.

If I decide to sell the Tactical at a later date I'll likely lose some value, but it is worth it.

Well said. Don't ruin your tactical. Could pick up a USP45 for cheap.

what was the point of getting the tactical in the first place?

I think he wanted the other features the Tactical had. Buying a standard USP and adding them would have been more than just buying a Tactical and buying a Standard barrel then selling the threaded barrel. Might have been cheaper stil to have the threads machined off of the Tactical barrel and crowned back to standard length......

I took the Tactical on a trade. I like the pistol, but do not need the threaded barrel. After playing with it for a while I decided I really liked the trigger for IDPA but not for carry. I carry LEM triggers. The pistol is as new so, instead of looking for a standard USP I decided to keep the Tact, sell the barrel and buy the standard barrel.

I now have a great pistol for IDPA at little expense and with the match trigger.

Just my way of doing it

Well anyway, you have an awesome pistol in the USP Tactical. I have toyed with buying another Tac and an extra standard barrel so I could better carry it concealed and use it for training. I may still after reading this thread. Occasionally one pops up for sale around here at a bargain basement price. I just missed out on one for 750.00 with two mags and gray soft case.... Just a day late and dollar short.

Yes, it is a nice pistol and I didn't want to totally lose the "Tactical" integrity. I can always take it back to it's original state by just getting the threaded barrel. Didn't t want to totally remake the pistol. Good luck on finding one, really great trigger.

Then you end up with: The European Custom Sport .45 is identical to the Tactical .45, except for extended threaded barrel of the Tactical - Custom Sport .45 uses the standard USP .45 barrel with no o-ring. Custom Sport .45

You could always use the threads for a flash suppressor rather than a sound suppressor.
