Is your USPc 40 100% reliable?
I'm thinking of getting a USPc 40 for CCW. How reliable is yours (with FMJ and JHP's?) Would you bet your life on it like your Glocks?

My dad has a USP 40 which I have shot a few thousand through and what ever my dad has shot through it. It has never jammed once with any types of ammo(I use whatever I get cheap and then protection rounds are 180gr winchester ranger).

I can say with complete honesty that both my USP 40 and USPc 40 have been 100% completely reliable for me. Both guns are easily over 1000rnds. and have never had a single stoppage. This also includes using a factory .357SIG barrel in the Compact.
Don't worry about FMJ vs. JHP either, because they will even feed spent cases off the magazines.

Mine is. All 7 HKs I have owned have been reliable, I still have 6 of them.

I don't own a USP, but I own several HKs and all have been 100% so far.

I've owned USP's since they first came out and never a failure. With my hands size the USP feels nice but the newer P series and HK i'm sure feel great but i'll stay with what i have never has let me down. All mine are 9mm and .45

I sold my 40c in favor of a P30, but it went 7,500 rounds with only one FTE while a buddy was shooting it. This guy has managed to jam just about every pistol I've let him fire, and all of his own. He's the Schleprock of handguns.

Mine has been 100% with standard or hot loads, reloaded and factory. It wasn't fond of mouse fart loads at first, but it was never designed for that either. I've swapped mine back and forth from V1 to LEM, back to V1, never an issue. It's a versatile gun!

Mine is from '96, I bought it in 2001 and Ii just had a round nosedive on me for the first time a month ago, other then that it has had no other failures. It might be time for some new springs

It have never failed with any type of FMJ or JHP. Yes, I trust it.

Mine is a usp c 9, but having FTE problems. (every few hundred)
Am I the only one with a problem.
P.S. I know you are asking about a 40, but seeing all those "Mine is 100%" reply got me down.
