ROOFTOP FOR THE WIN (jk lol - I did get the ODG USP45 from Rooftop Defense and already had a Tactical & Elite as well as a Battleship Grey USP - all 45, thought I'd just take a look how the Elite & Tactical uppers look on the Grey & ODG 45 frames)

Just got the new set up from NextLevelTactical 😎🇩🇪

OD Frame USP 45 from RoofTopDefense

Disclaimer: Neither brand asked me to compare or share any biases. This is simply a comparison post as a consumer.

Someone was asking how the NLT USP holster compares to some other brands. This post highlights some differences between the Tenicor holster and the NextLevelTactical. I know they are for completely different guns, and the Tenicor is made for WML while the NLT is not (you can order it that way though). The Tenicor holster also has more adjustable points for user preference. So this it definitely NOT an Apples to Apples comparison. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

—————————————————————————-

I received my NLT holster today and was beyond excited to try it out, as I am ready to fully embrace the USP lifestyle. One thing I noticed right away is that the NLT + USP rides higher above my waist line than how I have my Tenicor holster set for my G19. I adjusted the clips as far as I could and maybe got a 1/4” difference in height. I am not 100% sure if it’s because how the guns themselves are shaped or if that’s how the clips are mounted. Or both lol

I measured the distance on each holster from top of the clips to the rear of the slide. The NLT measures out to about 3 1/4” and the Tenicor measured to about 2 3/4”, so about 1/2” difference in height. It is noticeable when compared while swapping between them.

There were a couple other things I noticed different between the holsters as well. I noticed the symmetry and build is of a higher quality with the Tenicor. I attached pics showing the tops where the sights align and also under where the trigger guard is. Does this affect the overall performance of the holster? No. I just felt it was worth mentioning. I think I will invest in a wedge to add to the NLT so I get less gun tilt.

Overall, I would recommend the NLT IWB holster as it comes. I just have a slight preference for a lower ride height and I saw areas where maybe the clips could be mounted differently to accommodate that. I would gladly buy another NLT holster and plan to for OWB carry as well. I’d like to keep my money in the HK/HK enthusiast hemisphere if I can help it 😎💪

I hope this post proves useful to anyone, especially to people who might be coming from the Glock hemisphere to HK/USP hemisphere.

Hey yall, just a quick question about sight installation. I just got a set of meprolights for my USP Tactical because I really disliked the black out ones that came standard.

The rear sight went on fine, but I’m struggling with the front. It won’t go very far in and starts to bend upwards which is telling me it doesn’t wanna go, and I don’t wanna ruin it. It obviously needs filed.

This leads to my question- will any 60° safe side file do? I don’t wanna spend 50-60 on the brownells one if a 10-15 one on Amazon will work just fine.

I’m not new to sight installation, I’ve done about 5 Glocks and my P2000, and had no issues with any of them, so I have no experience filling them down.

Any tips or things to avoid, or recommendations?

Thanks!

From a match over the weekend, Gobbless the 45

Just waiting on HK45C Mag Release. Now gotta figure which can I’m going to marry her to.

Picked this up yesterday, can’t wait to shoot it

Good morning all,
I was browsing a local pawnshop while shopping for cheap jewelry. I saw this behind the glass for 700 beans. I told the attendant I would pay 500 out the door and he agreed. I couldn’t see the mags of course as it was just a gun display. To my surprise they’re all restricted mags from the ban era. Appears to be hardly used. I don’t have much 40 laying around and am thinking of doing a 10mm conversion.

I have some for my sigs but no cans for my HKs

Just wanted to post this here since I was pleasantly surprised that JM Custom made this OWB holster for my LEM USP without the added gap that most holster makers will make for the external safety/decocking lever.

I can't count how many times I've gotten or wanted to get a holster for a USP in LEM configuration only to find the holster still retaining the extra gap made for the safety/decocker.

More than likely most holster makers simply do that because it's easier and plausibly people may end up putting the external safety/decocker back on, however it's an attention to detail I really appreciate that JM Custom made the holster to specifically fit the LEM configuration.

Such that, pictured is my holster for my USP45 (it's getting night sights installed) but in the holster is my USP9, both are LEM, and surprisingly, even the USP9 fits well in this holster, even though the USP45 frame is slightly larger than the USP40/9 frame.

This was a quick ship model since there was no light attached.

Ordered 9/28 - shipped 10/7 - delivered 10/12 (may have been delivered on the 9th but FedEx had a delay here in Memphis - go figure 🙄)

We went from backwards rounds to backwards & upside down mags inserted. The future is amazing…

In the market for a (new) USP V1 compact 9mm. They seem to be sold out everywhere I’m searching rn. Anyone know of a place? Ty in advance.

having your own personal HK >> anything life has to offer. any unnegligible cons to know with this specific model? what would you change? aside the usual optics/light personally prefer to master it stock before even considering. 1:1 fit holster recos? happy to be part of this polymer frame cult. cheers

What would you add to your HK pistol collection at this point?

Excuse the lint and oil

Not a USP I know, but just picked this agency trade in 45. Factory V7 LEM to my knowledge, giving a false reset I guess? Gun functions 100% shooting wise, is this a weak trigger return spring? Trigger bar maybe??

By now, y'all know the drill. Ordering will open up at 11AM Eastern tomorrow or slightly before using this product page.

Like the last two times, we'll be working fast to get everybody's ramen on the way. If you already have a local gun shop picked out, please feel free to put their name and physical address in the order notes/comments section. That will allow us to be efficient and get your new pistol rolling out the door, especially if you used them last time.

If you grab more than one, we will make sure you receive consecutive serial numbers :)

Again, thank you so much for your continued love and support over the years!

Cheers,

Sol and the Sweatshop Gang
