A number of years ago, I had a USP 45 full size. I'm a re-loader so I rely on that type of ammo to shoot. I learned one day at the range that the bullet seating in the chamber wasn't fully supported, because I had a 45 round case explode near the end of the round during firing. The blow-out blew the mag out of the gun, cracked the frame and I got a small scratch on my hand from it. The barrel & slide looked OK. I sent the gun back to H&K to get repaired & re-revalued. The gun came back in short order and ran just fine after wards. Its true that the reload case may have just been bad or the case may have had a little too much powder. This can happen on factory bullets too. But, I always questioned how well the seating of a bullet was fully chambered in this gun. Lesson learned - Always, check the "over all length" of the bullet in the chamber for full support of the round. Just an FYI.
I would love to find an HK45c. I have the USP45 tactical and the HK45 tactical- as well as the USP compact in 9mm, the USP expert in 9mm and a USP tactical in .40 Have not seen the HK 45c for sale anywhere that I have looked. The VP9 models are much easier to find.
I have the Vp9sk and Vp9 and Vp9l I love my HK’s
Excellent video!! Thank You!!!
Wow, a lot of nice guns there.

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad H&K repaired it.

Gunbroker has been a good source for finding them for me. My local Cabelas had an HK 45c in stock
@@loveyourfreedom3903 thank you
@@thomasmcozart1093 Yep they repaired the gun, but I still had to pay for the repair. Which I knew it was my problem.
@@loveyourfreedom3903 I finally found an HK45C tactical at an FFL about an hour away. So happy to have found it.
You can't go wrong with them German gun. You got great taste. 🤠
I wonder if it’s giggle switch capable and if it there is a 10mm variant
No. Also their is no 10mm variant
My USP 45 Tactical is an absolute tack driver....
HK all day
