After much research, many questions and great advice here I've found, bought and brought my HK home.

I ended up getting a used USP 45 Fullsize. I was torn between the HK45c and the USP Tactical .40 (both around 850 delivered with all FFL fees etc) until I found this pistol locally for 600 all in.

The pistol is in excellent (95+%) condition. It has an AB manufacture code. It came with brand new (installed last month) trijicon night sites along with the case and 2 10 round mags.

I'll be taking it to the range tomorrow and will report back.

In the meantime I've ordered

* new mags -- 3 12 round w/ finger rest mags (49.99 each) and 2 more 10 round mags (24.99 each) -- from CDNN
* blackhawk socom case (63 shipped from OpticsPlanet)
* Weapon Shield and Lithi Shield
* Gunvault Mini Deluxe handgun safe

All of which will be delivered on Tuesday (the safe is here already).

Now I just need to get the cleaning kit (nylon toothbrush, bore, patches) and I'm all set.

Thanks again to all.

Cheers

P.S. Before I'm asked, yes I am considering the Match trigger kit. I've talked to HK CS. It'll cost 200.00 including parts/labor/shipping. I'm going to put a couple hundred rounds through it first.

Good find!! Shoot it and enjoy it...I picked up the same piece a week or so ago for about the same dough! IT's only money...I just don't have enough!

Congrats on your pistol! Enjoy shooting it and buying more. You know you will. HKs have a way of causing that. ;)

Congrats & welcome aboard. Hope you can support your new habit ; ) Great find at $600 (especially with those N/S). I will have to look into that Match trigger system as well being I just heard about it.

Nice purchase. I have 2 USP 45, I bought one new and one used. I love them both and neither one has ever malfunctioned and I've owned the one since 1996 or so. If you are looking into a match trigger you might want to take it a little farther and look into the "Combat Competition" (Match LEM) trigger setup. I have it on one of my USP 45 and it is awesome. The other USP is LEM with the P209266 Trigger Return Spring and it is a really nice setup as well.

ENJOY THE PISTOL AND SHOOT THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!!!!
