I have the top one - the USP .45 Tactical… Which is the civvy version of the (I think) Mark 21 below. That one is - or was - the preferred sidearm of SOCOM, or the Deltas or who knows…I can’t remember.
I was mocked and ridiculed by the cool kids because only an idiot drops that kind of money on a pistol with a high price tag. Their Glocks were just as good and half the price! They should know - they ran around doing run n’ gun events on the weekends dumping 1800 rounds a go! Only an idiot buys guns because the military shoots them too. I dumped big money on a couple boutique ARs too. Supposedly their beater AKs were better and cost 1/3 of what my AR’s cost.
I just smiled condescendingly and ignored them and shot my guns. The USP (with jacketed bullets) is so accurate … it’s boring. There’s a reason those things are pricey. If ya gotta shoot the plastic-fantastic… ya might as well shoot a good one…

Yup, the USP is at or near the top of the stack. Back in the 90's I got a Glock 21, super shooter, more accurate than me. Size made it a duty holster/belt, thigh gun. You could only hide it under a Canadian, winter parka. Even though I had one from my Air Force days, I never wore it living in San Diego. Turned into trading stock. Got a model 70 Colt Commander and had Terry Tussey do his magic to it. Shot it until it went unreliable, sold it for too much money, because of the documentation. Yes, I told them it was unreliable.
ReplyDeleteToday I test my like new Tisas, super duper, bobtail "commander". A Glock 26 paid for it. Here's hopin'.
Please let us know how the Tisas did and how you like it.
DeleteI work with DU and last year we had one for a raffle at our annual fundraiser. The little bit that I was able to see of it
I thought they were decent and deserved a look at. Haven’t seen another one since.
Hey Deathray!, I put over a hundred rounds through it today. The good news, at 25 yards, with CCI Blazer, 230gr ball, it's dead nuts right on, out of the box! Everything else was close enough. The only issue was the factory, 8 round mag would nose dive and not feed the first hollow point, but was fine with ball. The bobtail grip feels great. ALL my other mags (some old GI) fed hollow point fine. It shoots better than the Springfield Armory Champion Operator, lightweight, 4", I had. It had an integral feed ramp and bushingless bull barrel. I'm a horse trader, so I've had a GI, Tisas before, it was great also.
DeleteHad to buy another car, after hitting a deer with our vintage Hyundai. It smashed the front end hard enough to jam the driver door and obscure the windshield with the buckled hood. Turned out well though, it didn't come through the windshield. I traded the Spring Field and a few other fire sticks to a gun show seller that had a 1995, granny mobile, Buick Roadmaster (land yacht) in xlnt condition with 93,000 miles with an LT-1 Vette motor from the factory. Hauls ass, gets 20mpg on the freeway. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
Mark 23 was the SOCOM H&K .45 just as a minor correction
