Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
I had a HK USP Tactical in .45. It was a very accurate pistol, very well balanced pistol, good trigger.
I am used to shooting my 1911s and when I shot the USP it had a recoil impulse that shot through my wrist, nothing super painful just more of an annoyance. So I ended up selling it because I enjoyed my other pistols more and I dont like keeping guns that I dont shoot.
Im sure you'll enjoy it, happy shooting!

I've got a compact and full sized with a threaded barrel. I like them and they are flawless in eating everything. I prefer 1911's to anything but for a half plastic gun I like them a lot.
Controls and ergos are very 1911ish so running them feels natural. Only complaint would be they are a little blocky but they fit my grip pretty good.

I still have my 1911's but each needed a beaver-tail grip safety so I do not get hammer bite / draws blood. They definitely have a unique feel unlike anything else. My Glocks , FNP & HK all fit without mods so no hammer bite but the HK fits my hand the best of all the tactical Tupperware guns.

Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
I have several different HK USP pistols, including a couple .45 (a Match, Expert and a standard) as well as other USP and USPc pistols. They are truly excellent in every respect with the exception of: a) the cost of mags, parts, etc.; and 2) limited aftermarket support for the pistols as compared to some other platforms.
That said...I've never stopped (nor will I ever stop) being a self-proclaimed HK-o-phile!
Enjoy your new pistol! I hope it serves you well.

If you think HK mags are overpriced and hard to get try finding FNP or FNX / .45 magazines. They never were available in great quantity and right behind HK for pricing. The difference is HK actually makes mags and FN talks about it!

My ct model 45 is a pleasure to shoot. The first time firing resulted in solid hits. It fits me well and is extremely accurate and controllable. Still getting used to the mag release though.

Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
I loves me a USP. I've been wanting either a USP 45 or the HK45 for a while now.
My everyday carry pistol is HK USP-Compact .357sig.

Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
I have a USP Expert in 40. It is my favorite pistol.
It groups like a custom 1911.
Always reliable.

Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
I still like my Glock's and a Glock 30 is my carry gun. The HK just "feels" perfect, like a new pair of shoes that just "fit".
Pistol selection has come a LONG way in the last decade with lots of options and few bad choices.

Re: Who likes the HK USP 45?
The HK USP 45 is a nice gun if you have larger hands, you can get some aftermarket 20 round mags that work pretty well, really smooth shooting.
That being said if you have smaller hands the HK45 and HK45c are excellent (but limited to 10 round mags tops).
