i wish I never sold my USP-C .45!

People criticise these fo the bore-height-over-hand issue, but this is the most naturally-pointing pistol I've ever owned: I just raise my hand and the sights are aligned on taget. I also have a Compact on 9mm I love.

Great Post thank you .

I have been very happy with My USP 45 compact it has become My favorite handgun I have every carried .
Never had a problem with the Height of the sights

The sight height is not the issue, it's the height of the bore axis over the palm of the hand: this is a factor in muzzle flip.

Very cool! I would like to see the "How It's Made" tv show at the HK factory.

Even still, my USP .40 handles the recoil and muzzle flip better than most any other .40 I've shot. Thanks for the pic. Simply awesome. Love the USP!!
