I’m actually thinking about picking up a USP compact somewhere down the road to go along with trying appendix carry. I like the idea of carrying a Glock 19 sized gun with a light attached because they’re just so much more shootable. But I also don’t want to have to wear anything different than I currently do to comfortably conceal a smaller sized pistol without getting printing, etc. The only way I’ll carry a pistol pointed at my junk, at least starting out with trying that method, is if it’s hammer fired and has a double action trigger. I’ve never liked the way that a SIG P229 fits my hand, so the HK USP compact may be an ideal choice for me to try appendix carry and see if it’s for me. I’m glad to have clicked on this thread, even if it ends up costing me a bunch of money down the road… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

No doubt a striker-fired ready to shoot your junk (or anything else for the matter) is a concern. I feel the same way and prefer at least a safety for the SF but overall like a HF much more.  | |||

I must be one of the few here that has never owned, or even touched, anything HK. But this thread is making me think that I might slip over to my LGS early next week to see what he's got. I've been pretty happy with my Hellcat and CR 920 though, so it'll depend on how the HK feels in my hand and how the trigger seems (that LEM Light seems interesting). BobThis message has been edited.

OK, so I replaced the trigger with the GG version. It is not for me. The blade is to wide to be comfortable for me to shoot especially in DA. I think I am going to order the HK USP/USP Tactical Match trigger kit. I will have the GG trigger in the classifieds shortly. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

Thanks for the feedback on the Grayguns trigger. That is one thing I had wondered about as well, when viewing their pictures on the website. It definitely looks wider than a lot of flat triggers out there. The match setup does also sound intriguing. If you’d like to send me a message with details, I may be interested in the GG. | |||

^^^ Skip the USP and buy a P2000; it has much better ergonomics and it doesn't have a proprietary rail.  __________________________ | |||

So have a pair of Compacts as well as a P2000, and I at least to me the P2000 fits my hand better. I think that is a very under-valued gun, though there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Compact. | |||

Did you have to change any springs to run with the can? | |||

^^^ Re: that pic by Cntrl23, When did they change the bobbed hammer on the Compact to the regular one? Q | |||
|
| Member |
 Nope, I didn’t change anything besides the barrel swap. It’s an RCM barrel from HKParts. It’s been flawless. | |||

 I think it just looks that way cocked back in the photo. | |||

Great. Thanks for the info. I have a Dead Air can for my HK45C that I can also run on my 9mm, and have not tried it yet on the HK Compact 9. | |||

Some people do change the hammers on the compact to the non bobbed version. I don't intend to but I have seen it done. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

Both of you guys should know better than to do this. You want to do business? Then, do business, but if you do it in this forum, you do it in Classifieds only. Cntrl23, do you understand me? got2hav1, do you understand me? ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I did change the hammer on my USPC, part of the HK match trigger kit. Worth the effort, has a nice clean action now. Trijicon night sights on the way and that should be the last change for this one.   JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||
