Re: An Icon Revisited: The HK USP in Focus
Alignment Index of a more practical comparison.
Lower bore axis but losing alignment index ( for example in my actual shooting experience ) the Taurus SF while the SIG 226 with a much higher bore axis but good aligment index made the SIG one of the best shooting guns.
So between the G17 and the HK USP, bore axis is won by G17 by a little , Alignment Index is won by HK.Last edited by KK20; 10-05-2024 at 12:20.

Re: An Icon Revisited: The HK USP in Focus
Sadly I have only shot a couple rounds through various VP9 pistols, whereas I have a couple thousand through both my P30L and P30S.
Other than the trigger and the "cocking wings" on the VP9, I have felt and see little to no difference in build quality.
What has your experience shown you?

Re: An Icon Revisited: The HK USP in Focus
Sorry only saw this now.
The VP9 is easier to shoot and is more accurate with same ammo same shooting drills and conditions (personal experience).
The VP9 appears to be better fitted but that is because it is a different system.
(and yes the HK USP is a very nice gun and apparently the US has a difference in the chamber compared to P30 and VP9).live out your imagination , not your history.

Re: An Icon Revisited: The HK USP in Focus
The real fun starts when you can shoot 200gn/45/1250fps ( using 45 super cases) and that folks is the HK USP set apart.

Re: An Icon Revisited: The HK USP in Focus
The P30 trigger is a let down after the USP, the double action is very tough to manage without a fair amount of rounds downrange.
I think the perceived accuracy difference could be seen in the trigger action alone if I may be so bold.
Both my P30s and P30L flatter the shooter when it comes to accuracy, but again, I have a lot more rounds through a P30 over a VP9
I am keen on a VP9 for the collection, if I get one, I intend on putting it through its paces and can draw a proper conclusion
