HK USP magazine in a USP Compact?

I recently became the proud owner of a USP Compact in .40 S&W caliber. Or calibre for you British Commonwealth types :D

The Compact seems to fit my hand differently from the full size USP, as if H&K made a substantial shape change other than just shortening the grip and moving up the swelling on the backstrap.

So I am asking if the magazine for a full-size USP will work in the Compact. I like to have at least one full size magazine for any compact pistol I own. For instance, I have some full sized Beretta 92 mags to use in my 92 Compact.

No, it won't work. The Compact is substantially thinner. The compact is metal, the full size is plastic.

The the P2000 and P2000SK can use the P30/VP9 mags though. And the HK 45C can use the full size HK 45 mags.
 
This should help...
