45ACP Defensive Ammo Ballistics Test (HK USP 45)

Oct 2, 2022
Sorry for the noise in the intro everybody. I did not realize how bad it was until I was editing and then I wasn't able to re-film it. I really enjoyed getting to demo the HK USP 45 for this video. A huge thank you to a friend of the channel for allowing me to use this pistol for the demo. I really like the single/double action option on the handgun that would allow you to carry a round in the chamber with the hammer down for safety, but also being able to draw and fire without having to cock the weapon. This was a very comfortable gun to shoot and very manageable recoil for 45ACP. The 12 round mag made for a very comfortable grip without really being to long or wide. This gun is actually a top contender for me now against the Sig P220 that I have always wanted!

I hope you guys enjoy the video!
