Hello all! I just recently got the USP bug and have purchased a NIB USP45f. Now I face the task of making it mine. I have read everything on this BB and I also am on the Park cities tactical forums and rec.guns. I have lots of questions if anyone who is more knowledegable and experienced would like to help a new owner out:
1. Are there any other resources on-line for USP and related topics?
2. I need a holster. I want one that can be taken on and off easily, has a retaining strap and draws smooth. It needs to be durable enough to handle remote camping and jeeping. I have looked at Bianchi and Galco's web sites... anywhere else I should look?
3. I would like to get some night sights. The only one I know of is Trijicon. I would like them to be easy to shoot during the day as well. I have heard of "factory" sights too... what are these and which manufacturer is a good way to go?
4. I am interested in the tac light that HK makes for the USP. This will get used mostly at home, not so much camping. What does everyone think of this product? Is it well made? Is it positively attached? Does it unbalance the gun too much?
5. I have been a .40cal man for 6 years and am just now coming back to the .45 fold. What are some good ammunition choices for the USP? I have used and enjoyed the Remmington Golden Sabers in my other pistols but am open to change.
6. When I test fired a bunch of pistols the only part of the USP that I didnt care for was the trigger. I have heard of some talking about a "match" trigger for the USP. What is it, where can I get it and roughly how much does it cost?
7. I am seriously interested in buying two Hi Cap magazines for this pistol. I know that they can be 100-150$ each. But where do you find them at all?
8. What else do I need to know? What other upgrades should I be considering? I am in California (unfortunately) so I dont think I can get the threaded barrels here. I am interested in making this gun into a highly reliable, fun shooter for both home defense purposes, camping and target shooting.
Thanks for anyone's help on these!
