Whoa!?! I was doing a bit of housekeeping and inventory, and look what I found - my old H&K USP Expert in .45 ACP.

Hhhmmm… I don’t think I’ve shot this thing in at least five years, probably since I decided to move to the Glock 21SF for home defense, mostly to keep consistency across my tactical, EDC, and competition setups.

Yeah, I actually forgot I had this beauty sitting around.

Finding this now feels less like inventory and more like discovering buried California treasure.

Must be nice!!!
 
Super nice find, OP!!

Moving recently, I came across an HK USP Elite 45. What a beast of a semi-auto pistol, haha!!

IIRC, just boringly accurate and easy to shoot.

Forgot?! How do you forget you own a beauty like that? My next question is, when they asked you on your recent DROS, “do you know where all your guns are right now? “ did you answer no? 😆

:) Because he knows he always puts his firearms in the safe when he is done using them, he was able to truthfully answer "yes."
 
The USP Expert line are really nice and accurate. Always enjoyed shooting them.
 
Love the Expert .45 I could not even think I forgot I owned one LOL. Now that you rediscovered it it’s probably crying for some range time.

Thank you Sir. Absolutely. Goes straight back to the safe.

Except for the very long double-action, the single-action is so crisp.

Oh, it's coming... Most likely this weekend!

To be fair, don't think anyone is really shooting them in DA.
