Beautiful love letter, I could've not said it any better myself. I think you covered the brand completely and I really enjoyed listening to your HK stories. I have similar roots. Tried a multitude of different brands but always come back to HK for the simple reason that they always work.
Thanks man. I also appreciate you letting me use the footage. I was going to cut in some USP9c footage too, but I got carried away with the run time, I had to cut it down. But I think you dominating with the SP5K brought it all together. HK will always be home to me, and the other guns will always feel like I'm stepping out. But I'm okay with that, because like you said, they always work. Thanks again man, I appreciate all that you do as well.
72, male, New Hampshire Shooting since 1963. My first HK, bought 1977, VP70Z. The inside of that slide looks like the P30L. My new addiction: VP9SK OD Green, USP 9 Expert. Considering a P30LS, after i sell off a few Metal CZs, a Glock, a Walther. I spent my entire working life, 47 years with HK like car companies, as a master technician ( M-B & BMW ) So I'm attracted to engineering, quality, development, strong loyalty to proven designs. Talking pre 1991 with M-B. Any way, i guess I'm your Type I and Type III. You can't appreciate HK untill you've owned and used the other brands. I've been searching a long time for that One, or maybe 3, or 5 pistols where I can now say, thats it. The Best. Great presentation. HK should approach you for writing an ad campaign. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇲 Go! Army!!
Carried an HK USP .45 for 12 years as a police officer. I NEVER had a malfunction or failure of any sort. In my mind, the USP is one of if not the most reliable handgun ever made
I own more HKs than any other brand of gun. They are my favorite polymer pistols by far, and only slightly behind my fancier 1911s. You are right about parts availability though. Been trying to find two LEM kits for a while now and spare mags are also tough to come by for anything not a VP9/ P30. Still love them and trust my life to them and will continue to do so. They are pricey, but to me they are worth every penny.
man do i need to get a can for my usp 45 after watching this...... Edit: oh man thats so good to hear about Larry. He answered one of my questions in a personal video. He is what really brought HK into the 21st century.
I was an HK purist as well. Still am but I dont own any anymore just because of the Glock and DI ARs being the universal currency in LE and .Mil. The Sig MCX seems to be becoming the new HK416 for the D-boys and so be ith, I start the new journey in MCX obsession.
I know they're using the .300blk for super quiet things. But they're still rocking the 416s for 5.56 for now. As well as other 5.56 guns based on mission.
I love the memes in your videos, oh yeah I guess the actual knowledge is good too 😝😆😆. Well you convinced me, finally after all these years I finally got around to being able to get my first HK, and hopefully the first of many. Got a p30sk v1 LE model last week. It just oozes quality, even compared to my Walther, you can just tell this thing is built to the highest standards. Only got to put about 70 rounds through it but I fully intend on shooting the lights out with this thing, might even try and take a class with it this summer if I can. Got the 15 round magazines with the grip extension sleeve on it, makes it feel like the full size. But figured this would be a perfect carry gun, and with the larger grip still pulls double duty for home defense if I want it to. It’s definitely shootable and accurate enough to flex like that.
Excellent video as always. I approve of any loveletters to HK. She batters us a bit but shes also been protecting our briefcases from homies and stacking terrorists in far away lands for decades. Every HK I own has a special place in my heart.......and I only want....no...NEED more
Agreed all the way around. I love each one, I have what some would say is too many copies of some of them, and not enough for my standards of others. Every time I pick one up I feel like I'm home or things are going to be okay. It's more of a feeling too, it's like they're made for me and I run all of them well. There's not an HK I've fired I couldn't group with or hit what I'm aiming at. If I miss, it's me. But they definitely take over your wandering thoughts.
@@navyman8903 for sure. Some of them feel like a cheatcode because they're so overdesigned.....which I love when people talk about that like its a downside. *oh its overdesigned* I'm paying for confidence, confidence in a tool that will undoubtedly survive more than I can. If heaven forbid I need to draw my weapon, I know the HK won't be the point of failure in my response. And thats worth the extra few pennies.
@@Raider214 That is a fact. I've never worried about them going bang. My buddy had a USP with a broken firing pin that was cracked in 3 places, that was still firing. He waited a few months before his firing pin came in and decided to shoot it till it did. It never stopped firing. Which I wouldn't have done, but it was definitely impressive.
Wooaa! Serious shots fired in this video!!! As a self proclaimed H&K fanboy- "nuthugger ballsack swinger" I appreciate this channel even more!!! I've got 5 H&Ks. Yup
Do P30s really only come in for import in a single batch for the year? I had thought standard USPs (of all 3 calibers) were down to about a batch a year, but didn't know P30s were in the same boat.
Finally got the chance to get a hold of a P30LS, but finding holsters that accommodate the safety is a PITA. H&K is the only brand that keeps growing in my safe...
IT's in the works. But I'm trying to get a crack at shooting the MCX, MPX and their 516/517. As well as some of their legacy pistols. But it will happen one day.
Where the credit is due...,and thank you for mentioning these two pillars of hk community. Great video, and like James says you'll always learn something new.
34 years ago was the first time I saw an Hk handgun open carried in Lancaster SC. Not sure it was legal at the time but I couldn't get over how bulky and ugly that Hk firearm was. 34 years later the Hk handguns haven't changed very much but now I truly appreciate those bulky ugly firearms. Built like tanks while defining the definition of a purposeful driven multi tactical reliable sidearm. Now I love pretty much anything that Hk produces. 👊🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
Thanks NAVYMAN8903! I own a number of pistols for fun. I own a number of H&Ks for when it absolutely, positively has to work flawlessly. First H&K in 2000... a USP Compact .45 ACP. I was hooked. My EDC, P-30 SK Light LEM 9mm.
@@navyman8903 I’ll be watching. Love your content. I just got into AR’s and you videos saved me from poor buying choices. Steered me into spending my money correctly
I always just assumed that the reduced ammo capacity of many HKs was somehow tied to their unstoppable reliability, but this might just be my naivete. Whether related or not it is a sacrifice I am willing to make for the peace of mind of knowing I can drag it through hell and back and it will still function when I need it to.
Honestly that is correct. They always seat, they always feed, and they'll always lock back, so long as you keep your finger off the slide release based on the model, then you're good. HK's are always over sprung, which works for reliability.
For rifles the top 3 are HK, KAC, and LMT. For military arms it's HK, FN and maaaaaybe SIG. But I have zero love for FN pistols and for SIG anything outside of their legacy guns I have problems with.
Yup. I feel that way when I'm looking at them. But when I'm carrying them and shooting them, I forget all about it. But you can easily get carried away, and there's always another HK calling my name. Fighting the urge is tough, but I gotta stay strong.
I guess I am a muppet , a VP9 owner..Actually I own a VP9 and a VPsk..Would love a USP or a HK 45 ,but havent seen one for two years in these parts..I can find P30,s but cant justify buying it having already a VP9 ..
Just keep your eyes peeled for the USP and HK45. They're great guns. The animal thing is a nod to the forum guys when the VP9 came out, a bunch of weirdos bought them and were complete chaos. Also wouldn't listen to anything lol. They became a meme. There's nothing wrong with the VP9 or VP9sk. They're solid guns. I have one too, so it was a shot at myself also. Same thing with the collectors piece.
@@Shankdaddy16 Midwest Tactical Solutions. You're going to wait a while for it though. So be prepared, but it passes the quality test. I'll have a few here soon to play with for my USP45 with the same setup you're looking for, and one for the HK45/P30L.
I’m glad some people can enjoy HK pistols, but I just can’t get into them. I’d love the P30L because of how it feels and looks, but the trigger is just… not good. Not the worst I’ve felt but, not what I was expecting.
@@navyman8903 That’s one of the best ways honestly, but as you said, if only we weren’t in an ammo crisis. Have you ever tried the grey guns short reset kit?
It's not all sunshine and rainbows... Yeah, seeing as they feel more comfortable seeing to 3rd rebels than they do American citizens. Still waiting on that MP7.
There are two production guns in this world that raise eyebrows.the mark23 my personal favorite and sidearm and the sig p226 xfive supermatch german made.
You're right about that. I've only been able to drool on the glass over an X FIVE. Some years ago I saw a super match and it was MR762 money. I was scared to ask to hold it. I'd love to shoot an X series P226.
The best overall firearms manufacturer in the world. There is no debate. Beretta and FN are the only other companies that make the different platforms and innovate as well as the reliability and history. You look at companies like SIG that have had 3 recalls in the last 5 years and used to be good or Colt who refuse to innovate and are in decline and used to be the premier rifle maker in the USA and have been passed by with companies like LMT, Knights Armament and Daniel Defense. Glock while they make the best value for money pistol unfortunately that’s all they are, a pistol manufacturer and are not in the same league as HK. For me my list is: 1) HK 2) Beretta 3) FN All the rest do one thing well if that. Where the other 3 make everything well and without problems and recalls.
I would argue that SIG is the only company making real leaps in terms of innovation from those you mentioned. The firearms community today is so unforgiving of problems that most companies are afraid to innovate at all so I’m glad they’re putting out new products even if there are bound to be teething issues.
I think the MARK 23 is still made in Germany with the USP's. The HK45's are made here in the states. Some are made overseas. But the HK45, MR556, MR762, HK416, HK417, and I think some of the parts on the MP7 are made here so they can be issued to US service members as per contract requirements.
@@navyman8903 in a previous video you explained that the frame stamp icon and the date code/stag symbol were only on the German guns and not the us made guns. .mk23’s USPs have been appearing on gb with this items missing.
Once you do I’d like to hear your or someone else’s between the German or US made opinion because I’d like to get the best version for the money. U.S. versions can be found 1999 where as German old stock I can’t find for less than 2300. But is that “zegermans” collector fanboy hype or for a real reason.
I wanted to buy another pistol because I was getting bored of my 92A1 (very very underrated pistol-has never failed me)... I literally researched for 6 months doing hundreds of hours talking to reps.. talking to gun store owners..gunsmiths... reading forums.. talking to guys at the range etc etc... what I found was that in as much as I hate Glock fanbois and their stupid little Glock cult, I came to the conclusion though unbias facts and research that Glock stands WAY WAY above in the total whole of things when it comes to reliability, customization, and lack of headaches... you would not believe how many 'Cadillac' companies out there (HK SIG etc etc) have QC issues with their pistols where Glock does not (by in large compared to others)........ there are issues with Glock, but for 1 source I obtained, I obtained 5 sources of any other brand/make (was looking hard at a 226 but NOPE.. unless I found a GERMAN made earlier one)...... I bought a glock 31 (mainly for CCW) it doesn't shoot that hard (it's not that different from a hot 9) and its 15 rounds of basically a 357 magnum which is king of the streets (even above the coveted 45) Glock really is the way to go (sad to say) Oh, and I can change my 357 to 9 with very little effort for SHTF ... .already bought the parts.. OH EDIT.. 357 Sig shoots FLAT for 100 meters :) EDIT AGAIN :) oh yes.. I have an aftermarket trigger in mine.. 4# flat face... it makes the Glock complete.. I hate the stock triggers in Glocks, that is their only weakness I think (did sights too but that is for any standard non-special editions guns right off the bat)
Beretta's 92 series is always a go to for sure. The Glocks have had mixed experiences especially with the Gen 4. They're really good for what they are and have carved out a place for sure. But the Gen 4s have had firing pin issues, extractor and ejector issues. The Gen 5.5s have really cleaned it up though. I'm happy with the Gen 5.5s I have. I feel like they've hit their groove.

You're right about that. I've only been able to drool on the glass over an X FIVE. Some years ago I saw a super match and it was MR762 money. I was scared to ask to hold it. I'd love to shoot an X series P226.
Im getting an HK USP because of Metal Gear Solid (PS1/1998)
Excellent choice.
I love my HK45 ACP and VP9! :)
Both solid choices.
The best overall firearms manufacturer in the world. There is no debate. Beretta and FN are the only other companies that make the different platforms and innovate as well as the reliability and history. You look at companies like SIG that have had 3 recalls in the last 5 years and used to be good or Colt who refuse to innovate and are in decline and used to be the premier rifle maker in the USA and have been passed by with companies like LMT, Knights Armament and Daniel Defense. Glock while they make the best value for money pistol unfortunately that’s all they are, a pistol manufacturer and are not in the same league as HK. For me my list is:
1) HK
2) Beretta
3) FN
All the rest do one thing well if that. Where the other 3 make everything well and without problems and recalls.
I would argue that SIG is the only company making real leaps in terms of innovation from those you mentioned. The firearms community today is so unforgiving of problems that most companies are afraid to innovate at all so I’m glad they’re putting out new products even if there are bound to be teething issues.
Thank you for NOT saying "H and K" or "Heckler and Coke".
Also a pet peeve of mine for no reason at all. Well, probably from everyone messing it up. But happy to help where I can.
Buy us made mk.23 or pay more for German made???? I had no idea they moved production here until your usp video.
I think the MARK 23 is still made in Germany with the USP's. The HK45's are made here in the states. Some are made overseas. But the HK45, MR556, MR762, HK416, HK417, and I think some of the parts on the MP7 are made here so they can be issued to US service members as per contract requirements.
@@navyman8903 in a previous video you explained that the frame stamp icon and the date code/stag symbol were only on the German guns and not the us made guns. .mk23’s USPs have been appearing on gb with this items missing.
@@Runningmancs Oh wow. I'll have to dive into that more. HK USA must be picking up shipping delay slack.
Once you do I’d like to hear your or someone else’s between the German or US made opinion because I’d like to get the best version for the money. U.S. versions can be found 1999 where as German old stock I can’t find for less than 2300. But is that “zegermans” collector fanboy hype or for a real reason.
@@Runningmancs they’ve moved the stag horn to the bottom of the trigger guard.
GOOD GOD MAN!!!! 4:00 of B-roll!!!!
Had to do it big, but I did get a time code in there. But it is long.
@@navyman8903 go big or go home as they say!!!!
Well done!
Sounds like the uligy I will say at the funeral for a broken HK but it will never get said because they don't break
I've had excellent luck with mine. It's definitely a testament to their quality and manufacturing.
Agree 100% HK err day!
I wanted to buy another pistol because I was getting bored of my 92A1 (very very underrated pistol-has never failed me)... I literally researched for 6 months doing hundreds of hours talking to reps.. talking to gun store owners..gunsmiths... reading forums.. talking to guys at the range etc etc... what I found was that in as much as I hate Glock fanbois and their stupid little Glock cult, I came to the conclusion though unbias facts and research that Glock stands WAY WAY above in the total whole of things when it comes to reliability, customization, and lack of headaches... you would not believe how many 'Cadillac' companies out there (HK SIG etc etc) have QC issues with their pistols where Glock does not (by in large compared to others)........ there are issues with Glock, but for 1 source I obtained, I obtained 5 sources of any other brand/make (was looking hard at a 226 but NOPE.. unless I found a GERMAN made earlier one)...... I bought a glock 31 (mainly for CCW) it doesn't shoot that hard (it's not that different from a hot 9) and its 15 rounds of basically a 357 magnum which is king of the streets (even above the coveted 45) Glock really is the way to go (sad to say) Oh, and I can change my 357 to 9 with very little effort for SHTF ... .already bought the parts.. OH EDIT.. 357 Sig shoots FLAT for 100 meters :) EDIT AGAIN :) oh yes.. I have an aftermarket trigger in mine.. 4# flat face... it makes the Glock complete.. I hate the stock triggers in Glocks, that is their only weakness I think (did sights too but that is for any standard non-special editions guns right off the bat)
Beretta's 92 series is always a go to for sure. The Glocks have had mixed experiences especially with the Gen 4. They're really good for what they are and have carved out a place for sure. But the Gen 4s have had firing pin issues, extractor and ejector issues. The Gen 5.5s have really cleaned it up though. I'm happy with the Gen 5.5s I have. I feel like they've hit their groove.
@@navyman8903 mine is Gen 3
4 and a half minutes to get into it. Unwatchable.
Agreed.
BFG Division was a damn good choice
Thanks man. It just hits right.
GLORIOUS
Thanks man, I put some work in on this one.
didn't realize you went to salt water lmfao, I've probably walked past you many times.
Probably. If you see me say what's up.
The only disappointment I’ve ever had from HK was my MR762a1. It was such a fucking unreliable turd.
tru
11:04 I screamed 🤣
Glad someone appreciated it.
VP9 owners haha that is funny shit....looks about right too
A lot of them really act up from time to time.
Awesome content!
Thanks.
Vincent is wasted
Yes.
Lol the types of hk owners was funny
Thanks man. Just wanted to keep it light hearted where I could.
Guns shoot bullets. Nice.
