HK USP .45C
- Thread starter zentao
- Start date
The standard "Hostile Environment Finish" is not nearly as good as the Glock finish, for maximum durability I'd go with stainless.
I love my USP .45C, but it WILL rust on the serial#, proofmarks and any spots where the finish is thin from holster carry. If I know I'll be sweating on it alot, or out on the ocean, I'll give it a good coat of CLP before heading out.

Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war.

I suggest the Stainless model.
Although the USP will not rust even with minor finish "wear", I personally just can't stand to see the wear marks in the first place.
That's why all of my USP's are stainless
.
One more thing, IMO, the stainless slides are easier to clean as you can see the powder and carbon residue. Black and silver make for a good contrast. No place for all that crud to hide when you can see every spec...
