Heckler & Koch / Umarex H&K USP Tactical Full Size CO2 Gas Blowback Pistol (Color: Gun Metal / Reload Package)

"Great gas efficiency gets around 3-4 mags with the 4th starting to get weak, shoots great, and feels hefty and nice. However, the polymer frame feels a bit weak but hadn't had any problems with it cracking, and couple times the mag didn't sit right in the gun or just fell out after being seated, pretty rarely tho.

"My brother bought this for me as a Christmas present and I have owned it for a little over a year now. I don’t have any upgrades or add-ons whatsoever, and I have to say this thing is AMAZING!!

I like the USP in general, and my first one was a cheap non-blowback version that I still own today (and still love). I have landed more hits with this gun than my Mac-11 and my shotgun combined! Sometimes I even use this as my primary just for the heck of it (I do mostly CQB anyway so it’s not a problem for me).

After seeing action many times, I am happy to report that the gun is 100% in tact with no structural issues to speak of. I was concerned as some others have mentioned issues with cracks in the polymer construction. So far I have had no problems there. It feels solid and the gun still fires like a dream. I will mirror the other reviewers on here and just say to simply be careful.

I run .20’s in this and they are perfectly fine.
It’s not too terrible on co2 either. Usually one canister gets me about 3-4 magazines before I have to put in a fresh one.

The ONLY complaint I have about this gun is the magazines. Not only can they be pricey (some sites sell them just as much or more than my Mac-11 mags!) but they also have an angled thread for the co2 screw. For others it may not be an issue, but it always trips me up.

"A very solid pistol, can sometimes be a little slower fps wise (especially for C02) but it makes up for it in quality and simplicity.

"This is a hefty pistol. it feels so nice in my hands and feels like I'm actually doing damage with each shot. It is pretty durable. I would be comfortable throwing it across the room in some mud and it still being able to perform. I would highly recommend.

"I just recently got this for my first sidearm, and i must say the amount of kick this thing when i fired it for the first time blew me away, havent had a problem with it yet and its pretty sexy

"It is a pretty good GBB overall. Mine developed a crack near the safety and the trigger bar did break after about a year of using it. Co2 consumption was pretty good. I don't know if I would get another one but I did enjoy using it.

"Amazing feel, is hefty and realistic, good metal parts, overall just good fun, only issue I had is some suppressors will not allow you to pull back the slide, because when it goes back the barrel does a little bit too, and the suppressor gets caught on the lower barrel. May not be a problem with all suppressors, and you can still put one on and itll look great, it just wont rack.

"After using this pistol for two games, I feel comfortable enough to share my opinion. The pistol feels amazing! When it comes to handling, it feels just like the real one (yes, I've handled the real steel firearm). It kicks quite hard, which is nice. Its accurate at close range, but it’s not great past 20 meters, which is fine for a sidearm. So, how to you boost performance? You can't. The hop-up and barrel are proprietary. So, unless you can machine your own, you're out of luck. Also, I would like to say, I'm on my second one of these. My first one broke, most likely due to a weak trigger group part breaking while dry-firing. Thankfully, it was within warranty, so I got a new one from Umarex. Also, be careful not to cross-thread the cap on the bottom of the magazine, because now I have one that's unusable.

Pros:
-The feel
-The look
-It's realistic
-Consistency
-C02

Cons:
-Durability (just be careful)
-Lack of upgrade parts
-Range (due to lack of upgrades available)

I think I would still recommend this pistol, but I wish there were other options, like an actual USP Tactical with the raised sights. I'm honestly thinking about getting a new and better pistol, namely the HK45CT. The USP/MK23 is my favorite pistol design, but, again, there's not many options. I still think this pistol is good, but it doesn't have the capability of being the best pistol you've ever owned.

"Ole reliable HK USP. So far this gun performed extremely well. It has nice kick and shoots fairly accurate. At 30 feet, I was able to hit a post-it note (1in x 1.5in) 6 out of 18 times. That's not bad for an airsoft pistol but at the same time it's not too good. It's decent. The grouping of the BBs aren't bad if you take that into consideration. On a normal piece of paper (8x11) all shots were on the paper and no bigger than 6 in. If you want to take off the orange tip, you can cut it off or drill into the screw that holds it in. If you choose to drill the screw, the orange tip screws off. In addition, the paint on the chamber of the barrel also chipped off after the first CO2 magazine. There are rumors of the frame cracking near the safety lever on both sides... sadly this is true. After receiving this gun and after 1 CO2 cartridge, the frame cracked on the safety lever side. It is a hairline crack and does not affect how the gun performs. I don't know how it'll last in the long run or if the crack will get bigger, but I think it's a weak point in the frame and suffers from recoil shock since this is a CO2 powered gun. Also, the CO2 cartridge lasts until the fourth magazine. So here are the pros and cons.

Pros
-HK pistol with H&K official trademarks
-metal slide/metal where metal should be (safety lever, magazine release button, etc)
-CO2 powered
-good iron sights/accuracy/range
-nice hefty kick

Cons
-polymer frame
-prone to cracking near safety
-white lettering/warning label (unremoveable)
-screw near the mag release button will shimmy it's way out after a few CO2 mags.

final thoughts
It's a good gun for the money nonetheless. It is only jeopardized with the polymer frame and prone to cracking. If you really want it, really like it, and want to get it, but also like taking risks, this is definitely the gun for you. It is nice, feels great in the hands, but at the same time, you are taking the risk of buying it and having it crack on you. I'm sure it's not anything umarex wouldn't solve for you since this gun may still be under warranty when it breaks.

"it's big and it's heavy but it's also very accurate with .25's and i found that i was relying on it more than i did my dmr ak47 at SS (sharp shooter) Airsoft which tends to be more close quarters but it has some spots where sniping is encouraged. this gun is great and can typically use two to three mags before the Co2 runs out. as far as durability, only time will tell and hopefully i'll remember to make a followup on this.
for now i'd give this gun 4.5/5, the reason behind the -.5 being that the magazine doesn't have a feeding notch where you can lock the spring in place so it's easier to load and also it's ability to use Co2 more than i'd like it too.

"First of all I would like to say overall this is a pretty nice pistol, but when i got mine the box it was in looked like it had been beat up and had some minor tears / scrapes. Now I will explain why i gave 4/5 stars with some Pros and Cons of the pistol:

PROS:

- Aluminum slide.
- Full Metal magazine.
- Very nice kick, (it kicks harder than my Elite Force 1911).
- Fairly accurate.
- Polymer lower receiver, (Can be a Con, but is realistic).
-14mm negative threads included.
- Has a hop-up.
- 330fps @chrono with 0.2g bbs.
- Orange thread on barrel is very easy to take off (can be a con).

CONS:

- Polymer lower receiver (It is more "realistic" and it helps keep the weight down, but it makes it feel a little flimsy, but not it's not that bad).
- The 14mm negative thread on the barrel is easy to take off (I tried to put a mock suppressor on mine and the orage thread unscrewed onto the suppressor, then the holding pin for the orange threads popped out and the gun wouldnt cycle, a pair of pliers and a flathead screwdriver fixed that).
- Orange threaded tip scratched very easily and is made out of some crappy, soft aluminum.
- Hop-up in in the slide and is kinda difficult to get to.

Overall I would definately recommend this pistol especially because it comes with a treaded barrel (not the orange tip), and you can pickup a black, steel adapter for the barrel for $5 on Evike, the pistol, like I said is fairly accurate, and the kick is absolutely amazing. This is probably one of the better H&K USP on the market so it's definately worth the price. Just be warned of that crappy orange tip.

"This review that I'm riding his taking me about 3 weeks to month or so of testing to give you guys this accurate review. First off the gun feels great although the polymer handle feels a little on the cheaper side I feel as if Boomer X could have done a better job and at least employed the same type of polymer they use on my pellet rifle after shooting the first few rounds it's immediate that this gun is heavy for some for me, I'm 6ft 5 200 plus pounds and the gun is perfect however my friends that are 5-11 I'm shorter the gun likes to go everywhere then again they don't know a proper stance and how to hold a firearm correctly. The CO2 performance is on the weaker side it is not as efficient obviously as a electric gun but it does have quite a bit of power the FPS that they've achieved on this is not the same as what I got on my testing also back to the polymer frame last night the gun finally gave out you can see cracks along where the safety is the plastic is extremely thin around there I've read other reviews and other sources that have had the same problem immediately call the manufacturer I've already called evike.com and they as always were quick to offer their help this is why I will continue to purchase from evike.com I love you guys this gun is being used for a metal gear solid fill it's a great gun but that Weaver rail system is difficult to find compatible attachments please keep that in mind you get about three mags for one CO2

"Initially, the gun performs well out of the box, it can hop a .25 BB comfortably, and it has trouble with a .30 BB. Gun has a hard recoil and a heavy slide, making the recoil much more apparent.

however, over time, when the gun starts to break in, the Trigger Bar lobe will start to stick the slide, making the slide get stuck upon re-locking. And the trigger bar has a section that releases the hammer, that will break rather quickly in normal use.

overall the main issue with this gun is a very poorly designed trigger bar, and the heavy slide. if they were to use a better material for the trigger bar, it would be a better gun. The Heavy slide aids in extra breakage of the trigger bar.

CO2 consumption is decent. it is what you would call "Average" among other CO2 guns.

- My Experience stems from heavy use of the pistol, i own two of these pistol

I would not recommend this pistol as a field gun, but as a collectors item.
