USP and USP compact mags interchangeable?

[Justin]

Just out of curiosity,
Does anyone know if the HK .40 USP fullsize pistol can use the same magazines as the HK .40 USP compact?

Thanks

In a word... No. Bummer

The USP .40 uses polymer mags, while the Compact uses metal mag bodies that are much slimmer. This is about the only complaint I've ever had about these guns (I have both, no finer fighting pistols made for under 4 figures, IMHO). The upside is, the thin mags in the compact make for a double stack mag that fits in a grip the feels smaller to me than a 1911.

Yeap...DanO is right on the money with that. Unfortunately us USP and USP compact owners can't have the ease of using the same magazines. But still get one of each you'll love them.
