View Full Version : Would you buy a 10mm USP?

Just got a Glock 20 finally, I was actually out looking for a second generation Glock 19 when the dealer made me an offer I would have been ignorant to refuse. I always said I hated full-size Glocks, and they're still not my favorite, though the caliber makes up for it in this case.

I'm madly in love with my USP-C .40 Stainless and was curious if anyone else would pick one up in 10mm were it manufactured (I realize highly unlikely). I think the HK literature says USPs are good to 30 or 40,000 rounds; rather pale in comparison to Glock. I have no clue how the design would hold up under DoubleTap ammo, but if the G29 works, I would think a USP might also, built on the .45-C frame.

1. it would most likely be on the 45 USP frame which is too big for my hands, especially with where the controls are located (the G20/21 is almost too big) and the ridiculously long trigger reach/pull.

2. HK's are generally overpriced and in my experience their customer service is crappy.

YES

Even if on the .45 ACP frame, that would be okay for me, as I've got fairly big paws and the G20 is no problem(it is my CCW at times).

My goal before I die is to have one of each model of 10mm ever produced, so yes I would get one. However, I don't long for one.

Yes I'd love a 10mm USP, but HK keeps tellin' me no. I have an HK USP Compact in .45 and love it. The grip on the Compact .45 is narrower than the fullsize .45 and is very comfortable. Just out of curiosity I loaded my 8-round .45 mag with 10mms and was able to get 12 rounds in it pretty easily.

I had an H&K USP40 compact I sold because I didn't like the DA trigger pull. I kinda regret it now. It never once failed to feed fire or eject (something I can't say about my G20). The gun looked almost as good the day I sold it after three years and 2000 rounds or so as the day I bought it. If they made a 10mm I'd buy one.

Yes... but I would prefer it in the compact frame.

I like the feel of my Compact .357!
If they could stuff the 10mm in there?;f

As much as I like the idea of a 10mm USP (especially an Expert model) it seems that HKUSA has pretty much washed it's hands on the U.S. civilian consumer. I've had some pretty disappointing results in dealing with HKUSA's Customer Support. Further, I've heard WAY too many others echoing the same dissatisfaction. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE HK products, I only wish their customer service would treat the customer better. For that reason, I'll be tapering off my future HK purchases.

I'd REALLY like to see SIGARMS come out with a P220ST in 10mm!!!:cool: THAT would make ME and a lot of folks very happy!

I echo 100% what BB here is saying....I once had a P9S 9mm (talking the late 80's here) that broke a spring. I could only get a replacement from H&K. They gave me a hard time over the phone before I could buy that $6.00 replacement spring!

According to the complaints I've heard, they have not gotten any better.....that's a shame. :(

I'd love to see a USP in 10mm (and would buy one if it were to be produced), but lacking that, instead of getting the other USP's in any of the other calibers, I decided to purchase and carry as a CCW piece the "other plastic pistol"....no, not the Glock....the Steyr M and S series guns. Great guns.

A Sig P220 in 10mm would also be an awesome weapon!

I would definitely get one. My dream 10mm however, would be a 10mm CZ.

Probably not...like the HKs but customer service ... availablity of parts and an abundance of quality people who work on them favor Glocks...imo

Plan on another G20,G26 and a G29 sometime before Christmas...
