    You have a suppressor on it? Maybe I should try that. :beer: Still thinking of the dot scope since it seems that giant adjustable rear sight should have plenty of room for one if removed.
    I often shoot it suppressed. Fantastic suppressor host. I’ve yet to play with a RDS, but have a couple of slides with the appropriate cuts. That may be the way to go.

    Oh never thought about a new slide that might be a good solution for multiple configurations. I bet that is super expensive though!

    No money for Heckler and Koch... :(
    I bought a USP off a member here a few months ago. I had one a long, long time ago and didn't care for it. I traded it off and got the worst end if the deal. I always said if I had a chance to give one another try, I would.

    I still don't see what the hype is about. I wish I knew a friend of mine had one. I would have borrowed his, figured out I still don't like them and saved the money.

    They, to me, are like Mercedes-Benz. Built very well, but in the grande German style, unnecessarily over built, and you pay for that. They make really nice firearms and I think everybody should have a couple in their collection.
    That's just my over simplistic view. Not a hater. Just can't rationalize spending the money, given my meager finances.
    I can shoot a Glock just fine and I can build a carbine that will run, rain or shine.

    Pretty much my take on it as well. I took their USP and MP5 armorers course years ago for a job I was trying to get and over engineered is an understatement.

    My Glocks shoot just as good as the USP does and I can service it much easier. I think the USP triggers suck balls. I was going down the rabbit hole of aftermarket parts and sending it out to have trigger work done to it and finally just put it away. It'd be a bunch of money for something that I am not gonna wind up shooting anyway.

    Yeah, people really seem to get into tuning the LEM trigger to feel more like a striker fire? Sorta puzzling. I won't dismiss it until I've shot one of the tuned ones though.

    I have an HK 45CT. It is my EDC

    I have a Silencerco Osprey 45.

    As mentioned, both fun to shoot

    I have to be honest, I love the USP. Mine is a well used LE trade from Lou45 (initially purchased by another MDS member) and smooth as butter in every way.

    Starting to really love HK. Got a VP9 Tactical for a suppressor host and a MK23 for the same reason. Both amazing guns. I mean, the MK23 is a bit ridiculous by today's standards. But it's very cool and VERY easy to shoot well.
