Though a bit large for today's standards of a high capacity .45 the HK will hold it's own with any high quality .45 on the market. The price tag is actually a steal considering the options you get from the factory. With other makers you could easily pay double for a similar quality handgun.

I've fired thousands of rounds through mine with literally no problems. The option that sets most HK USP's (in variant 1) aside from the rest of the competition is ability to carry the gun in traditional double action or single action.

Magazines from the HK factory are a bit pricey but once you buy a factory magazine you won't have to buy another.

Mine serves as my secondary firearm during deer season due to it's ability to precisely place rounds at extended handgun ranges. The almost 5 inch polygonal barrel boosts the .45 acp performance to a optimal level for the round.

Not to many in handgun circles will dismiss 12 plus one rounds of .45 acp. As stated earlier the accuracy of this handgun is outstanding. I've tried many different rounds and haven't found any that my Tactical won't put into a two inch circle off hand at 25 yards. Certain pet factory loads will beat that at 50 yards.

Not that the .45 round is too harsh in the recoil category but all full sized USP's, including the Tactical, use the HK recoil reduction system that is noticeable and effective. The threaded barrel is cool looking and great for those who live in a state that allow the purchase of suppressors.

capable weapon, fair price

This HK is a quality product.

I Want One!

Most accurate pistol I have owned out of the box. Not quite as comfortable in my hand as my custom Colt 1911 full size but the recoil seems better distributed with the H&K. It has never had a failure in over 650 rounds of mixed ball, HP and HP+P rounds. With my B&T IMPULS II-A suppresor attached it really shines, putting 10 rounds into one ragged hole at 15yds. frequently. Very nice ajustable sights. This is one pistol I'd never sell/trade and that says alot comming from me. Other than the high price I have been very happy with the purchase.
