Hk uspc range report

In my opinion, oil doesn't work good enough for slide lubrication. I use Mil-Comm TW-25 grease on all my firearms for slide lube. I use a little dab on each tab, and lube the barrel with a nice light coat of grease. It has worked flawlessly on all my firearms. It is a little pricey but well worth it. I use this on my daily carry HK P2000SK LEM in 9MM, and my USP Expert .45 .

I think putting grease on an HK polymer framed pistol is pretty much unnecessary. I've never used it and I've owned pretty much all of them, including a MK23. Oil works just fine.

I can kinda understand the rationale of putting it on a Sig due to the rails being tight.... but a Glock or an HK? Never.

Another problem is grease can get sluggish when the temps get low. Not something I want on an SD gun. And if you're applying so little grease that wouldn't be a problem, then there's no real benefit at that point to running grease. That said, there's so much slop on an HK or a Glock that a little grease isn't likely to slow it down much.

Lubed like that now.....
 
All this talk about finicky oil, cleaning, and bad ammo makes me love my Glock even more so.

I had an HK USP Compact stainless. Loved it but didn't shoot it much. The awkward mag release and large fumbly fire control lever got in the way.
They are pretty expensive as far as polymer guns go.

I had two USPc -- still have one. I agree with you about the mag release and the expense. You forgot to mention the meh SA trigger and horrid DA trigger. As a result, I don't much care for mine. But finicky is not a word I would ever use to describe my USPc. They always worked. All I ever did to oil them was a few drops of Mobil one in the slide grooves and rub a drop of oil on the barrel.

fired it today it went through the federal 115, and the remington umc, the grease that flyer put on, lol i was firing it , and by the time i was done.. i had noticed that there were tons of grease blots on my shirt. lol too much grease i guess :P it took me about 50 rounds to learn how to get the gun in the 9-8 ring cause i was used to the glock sights, i was shooting low because i was leveling the front sight to the rear, but i have to have the front post just above the rear window, and i was getting in those rings after that , still no amazing bullseye but that can be worked on. it was a tad to the left due to me and the new trigger,

but i think ive been ruined by the glocks lol. im at a "well if it sells " fine i'll go pick up a glock , if not "fine" as well. as long as i have something.
 
its perfectly alright :) thanks ben and steve:) good times.

we will see what the market has in store and go from there , or if it doesn't sell i will pick up the glock 26 at a later date.

Personally I love the mag release on the trigger guard. Hate the glock release and it slows my reloads down bigtime (even with a lot of practice)

For me the only way I could figure out how to manipulate it quickly was with my middle finger of my strong hand. However that forced me to move my grip significantly and re-grip the gun when the reload was done.
If I can just shift my thumb downwards on the Glock (4th Gen is far easier than the previous) then my grip stays the same and it's much less of a digital exercise than taking my middle finger, curling it and aiming for the trigger guard.

Maybe other people reload differently.

And a G19 because you can't really have one without having the other at some point. Eventually everyone does.
 
yes kinks all worked out. the gun shoots pretty well though the sights need to be changed asap if im going to keep it. im really liking the G26. the more and more i look at it the more i prefer it to the G19, im debating just using my credit card and purchasing the 26 while keeping the HK uspc until i sell it or keep it. there is just something easy about the glocks. i still need to test ben's brother's light LEM trigger, and test it , along with the G 26 side by side and test my gun and the G26, for recoil. i think its going to be pretty close due to the low bore axis vs the high boreaxis even though one is a sub compact.
 
As a guy who owns an HK45 with a LEM in it, IMO the Glock trigger is still way better on the whole. Shorter, more positive reset.

I still have two HKs (I used to own a half dozen of them!) a USP .45 Tac DA/SA V1 and HK45 LEM, but at this point they're more for nostalgia than anything else. (That and some of my range guests like shooting them). I doubt I'll ever buy another one. Not because they're bad guns, but the Glocks just shoot better for me on the whole. My G30SF and G21SF are less flippy and easier to keep on target.

yeh i can see myself fast becoming a glock girl. cause they are just easy to use, the hk i have does feel less recoil in the hand , but the flip, makes it longer to reset, vs the glock with i feel recoil more in my hand but i can shoot it quicker because of the less muzzle flip.

Edit: Went green and will be posting a for sale ad soon

ad up on NES member classifieds, will be up soon on regular classifieds

Wait until one of us lets you shoot an M&P WITH trigger job . . . that will just add to your confusion as to which one you like best! [laugh]

I had an M&P Pro with the performance sear. I used that sear as a basis to begin more trigger work. I ended up with a very nice trigger.

The end result: I sold the gun to another member and I am still shooting my Glocks. I do miss it occasionally but not because of the way it shot, but more for the time I put into customizing it.
