Heckler & Koch USP Reviews

Nice looking pistol that resembles the real firearm. The magazine is full size and houses the C02 and BB's. The magazine is plastic, but that's fine with me. Loading BB's into magazine is super easy thanks to the clever loading tool (includes in the package). The rest of the gun appears to be all plastic but it's a nice quality polymer. I like that the sites are marked in bright white and I wish all guns had these markings. It makes lining up targets so much easier! There's no blowback, but that preserves some of the C02 which allows you to shoot longer before needing a new cartridge. Accuracy is also quite good for a pistol in this price range.

The trigger is very heavy and was hurting my finger after a few rounds. The hammer is just for show, but it does move back and forth. The grip is very deep so if you have small hands, the tigger will be a bit of a stretch. The piercing mechanism is plastic and threaded into the bottom of the plastic magazine, Just worried that the threads may strip over time. Finally, the pistol is packed in clam shell packaging - I prefer a simple box.

Not for smallish hands.

The cost is excellent for what you get. If you want a cheaper BB gun that still packs a punch, this is the one for you. Granted, since it is cheaper, there is no blowback, nor is the gun made of mostly metal. But if you just want something fun to shoot that is semi-auto, (so you dont have to rack the slide with every shot), then something like this should suffice.

Absolutely, if you are not going to fix the deplorably inaccurate sight on this monstrosity, then MAKE THE SIGHT ADJUSTABLE! I cannot stress enough how terribly inaccurate some of my pistols are, but as long you know where the bbs are going after they exit the barrel, you can always just adjust where you aim. But still, and accurate sight, or at least an adjustable one would be greatly appreciated.

In case you havent read the specs on this gun, it is a double action. So you may need to get familiar with the weight of the trigger before you can expect to consistently shoot where you want the bbs to go.

Great look, and even better feel. To me the balance is right on. I like the tree dot sight. Make it easy to acquire new targets.

Full blowback would be nice. But at least be able to pull the slide. The magazine I think needs to be metal.

Over all its been lost of fun. I recommend this pistol to anyone.

I just got my H&K usp. It looks awesome! Feels just like the real deal. Very accurate.

Make it a Full Blowback!!! And I was really looking forward to having one with full blowback action

Gun looks very authentic.

Better quality control when gun leaves manufacturer .

Gun arrived with broken magazine spring mechanism.Unable to shoot any bbs.

Very realistic and powerful it has amazing accuracy.This gun is very efficient when it comes to co2 since it isn't blow black, I got around 170 shots which is pretty good.

The trigger,its a little heavy but you get used it.

Great gun for the price awesome buy!

The look is realistic.

A little more weight to it.

The accuracy of the gun is awesome.

I like the h&k it has always been my favorite.

I would have made all h&k airsoft and B.B. guns blowback co2 not gas.

Either way these are great for practicing and fun.

I like the look and weight of the gun, it's got some real heft to it that makes it feel and look very authentic. The magazine isn't a drop-free for the first little while of using it, I found mine required me to actually pull the magazine out while holding the release lever, but eventually started loosening up with some wear. It was also fairly accurate, I could hit targets from 20ft or so with relative ease, and the "iron" sights are authentic to the real weapon, so it lines up nice and neatly, making accuracy a non-issue if you have steady hands. Overall, a delightful little air pistol that is cheap and easy to pick up and use for anyone who's new to plinking or is a fan of the USP line.

The frailty of the trigger mechanism. I'm not sure whether this is a common issue, but I think I only fired about 500 rounds, if that, from this thing before the piece of metal connecting the trigger to the internal hammer snapped and I now have a bricked gun that refuses to fire. I really would like to give this product a better review as I liked how it performed, but the weapon broke a few months after I bought it. The safety is also very stiff, and it has lost some of its functionality, not that that matters as the product is otherwise useless, if not for putting in a display case as a home decoration or prop.

Buy this if you want a cheap starter pistol for getting into CO2 guns, but beware the faulty trigger mechanism and safety features. Other than that, it's a nice little replica that is accurate and fairly CO2 efficient. I didn't count but I got a ton of shots off before having to swap out for a new cartridge. That is, before that odd little metal plate inside cracked off and I was left pulling a trigger with nothing going down range. Don't let me discourage too much, though, my model might've just had a manufacturer's defect, like a fracture that I never saw because I didn't take the gun apart before using it. Also, the slide doesn't move. It is easily removable, however, for maintenance, which is how I discovered the aforementioned problem. The hammer does move, which is a cute visual feature, but the slide does not, meaning that slide lock is also non-functioning. That's something the description should integrate, mind you, so that people expecting it to move don't get disappointed.

I really want to like and use this gun...I got it in the mail this morning and i am having problems releasing the magazine..There seems to be a smallish piece of round plastic preventing the release from moving far enough...Any ideas??

The size and look are very similar to the real firearm, although a much lighter weight. For me the grip is prefect with my large-sized, but not enormous, hands. The grip is highly textured...again like the real firearm... and points very naturally. I also prefer the longer reach to the trigger this pistol has which some others have mentioned and complained about. Pretty good CO2 efficiency.

It would be nice if it were a little heavier with an operating hammer. Even though this pistol points extremely well for me, it's not very accurate. I am comparing this to my other CO2 pistols for reference. This is quite typical for BB's, but compared to the HK45 I have (which shoots dead-on) and is similarly priced, this one shoots high and to the left in a rested position. It could just be this one example though. The only other slight improvement that would be nice would be to either spring-load the magazine or make the magazine a little heavier so it drops out by itself when the mag release is pressed. Obviously these improvements would increase the price.

It's a cool, bad-ass looking air gun (the actual firearm is too) and a pretty good deal.

Nice little shooter, very good likeness to the real deal. Others have commented on the particulars, however, for an entry level air pistol it's really quite good.

Nothing - it is what it is and that's been done well.

I bought this to mount in my T-A-C Converter and for that purpose it's an excellent fit and makes it a lot more fun.

Look, feel weight.

I would add blowback.

This gun failed to feed with frequent use, the barrel wont separate the BB's anymore as it used to.

Looks real, hefty for almost all plastic.

Upgrade the plastic to something more like that used for composite stocks. Narrow the trigger, decrease the pull weight, make the hammer functional. Decrease pull length.

The grip to trigger length was too long to be comfortable, and I have a medium to large hand. The pull weight of the trigger is horrible when compared to other similar CO2 pistols. The hammer is non-functional, only double action. 75% of the accuracy problem is because of the horrible trigger pull. If mounted on a stand, it is reasonably accurate at 10 to 15 feet.

The realism. Side by side of the real firearm my friends can't tell the difference between the two. This pistol has a decent weight and feel for a mostly plastic gun. The bb's and co2 load in the removable magazine which is nice. Has nice white, three dot sights. One front two rear. So much better than black on black sights. Which are hard to pick up with the eyes. I can hit 12oz. soda cans from 40'to 50' over 80% of the time with this pistol. On days of 65 degrees or more I get 160+ full power shots from one co2 cartridge. I have thousands of bb's through mine so far, with know issues. However, I do use a drop of pellgun oil on every 3rd co2, I put in it, to keep the seals fresh. This is the most efficient co2 pistol I own. Great for drawing from the holster drills also. The USP is one of my favorite real pistols, and umarex did an awesome job with this copy!

I would like to see another model with more metal, a rifled barrel, and maybe blow back, and be willing to spend $100.00 or more for it.

This is not a target pistol! The barrel is smoothbore, not rifled. So don't expect crazy good accuracy from it. It is designed to be a plinker for soda cans and what not, and it fills this role with flying colors. It is a very faithful replica of the real one and very fun gun overall. If you like H&Ks you'll love this one. DON'T TREAD ON ME!

I like the realistic size and detailing. I like that the magazine releases cleanly and that it holds both the CO2 and BBs. I like the three-dot 'combat' sights.

I don't like that the gun has so few metal parts; it's mostly plastic. I especially don't like the annoying 'rattle' that my gun has, which sounds as though something is loose or broken inside it. So far this hasn't seemed to affect its operation, the gun feeds and fires, but it certainly detracts from its realism. Your experience may be different. Maybe I just got a 'lemon'.

I have yet to find any way to attach accessories to the rail. None of my lights or lasers will fit. Maybe the rail is just 'for show' and not meant to be functional. Thanks to the review by Brett and the photos by another uncredited customer, I was able to remove the plastic 'slide' and as I did so, a BB fell out. Somehow a BB had become lodged within the working parts and it required partial disassembly to remove it. There's still a lot of noise being made by the fake plastic hammer and the loose fit between the striker and the pin it pivots upon. I plan to try applying some 'gun grease' to that area to see if that will reduce the noise. Otherwise, I suppose I'll have to go a bit further than merely 'field stripping' it and attempt a more thorough repair. All of this is a tad disappointing. I know it's only a sub $50 dollar BB repeater, but I had really hoped for a little better quality from Umarex.

Realistic look and feel smooth trigger low price great sights

I would love a blowback version (at a higher cost of course) a little more weight to make it feel more realistic

For an entry level bb pistol this one is pretty good. Overall the accuracy is good and loading unloading is fairly easy. Everything on the gun is non functional except the mag release and safety. The hammer does move but it is not what actually strikes to fire the weapon and is purely cosmetic (although a nice touch) but that is expected for a gun at this price point. I only have about 300 rounds through mine but I haven't had any issues so far.

It looks like the real thing.

It needs the ability to fire in single action. The double action is too long for accurate shooting.

Typical CO2 powered BB gun performance, nothing special here as far as accuracy or power. You buy this one just because it looks cool.

Great looking air pistol, replica-accurate and functional safety and mag release, drop out mag holding CO2 and BBs is a nice feature, adds to replica-realism.

Loading can be a bit fiddly. Use the supplied funnel attachment and make sure to hold it upright or the BBs will jam up at the top. If you load less than the max keep your finger over the top of the mag when you release the spring or they will all fly out.

I have many real firearms and this is my first air gun since I was a kid, bought to practice in the basement. Very cool and a great pistol for the price. The slide is not functional, though it seems to be, if you pull back on it hard it will disassemble the top of the pistol.

I really enjoy shooting this gun. You can get alot of shots out of one Co2 cartridge. The accuracy is good and the construction is solid. A good value for the price.
