    so yet another new addition to the family if crap im collecting.:)
    this is the only the second HFC pistol ive had the pleasure of using and from my experience with the HFC M9 (probably the best M9 out there) i was expecting good things from this.
    First off the body is made entirely from an ABS of some sort, like the real thing, and its really nice to hold. Id say the KWA G18c is a good comparason in quality here, the slide however, is full metal without trades unlike that of the G18c. The sights ontop of that are decent with white dots to help out with aiming it and all in all it feels really nice to hold with a weighty feel to it.
    After testing it on the chrono it gave me a 260fps reading at first, this turned out to be the hopup turned up to full, straight out of the box. after turning that off i had it firing in or around a 280-290 average (after cleaning the barrel too) and the blowback is sweet to boot.,

    One of the main characteristics with this HFC pistol that you dont see on most of the others is the added "FULL AUTO" feature that replaces the typical de-cocking lever seen on most of the usual USPs. On fully automatic i would say theres little or no difference in performance compared to the next most popular full auto pistol, the G18c. the ROF would be pretty similar to that of the glock too.

    This also comes in the Compact version too. all in all both guns are identical other than the slightly longer barrel of the regular and i was stuck for choice as to which one to go for, i ended up going with this one since it was the last of the full size models and i wouldnt have the choice if i didnt take now., :D

    So, anyway,
    I love this piece of kit, its lovely to hold and shockingly beautiful to fire. that all added to the fact that its Heckler & Koch., :D
    The fire selector on this feels really solid and beefy compared to that of the G18c. ive lost a part out if my glock on a few occasions and spent ages looking for it since the fire select on them is a bit delicate but i cant see the USP having any troubles like that, it feels much more solid.

    I'll post back with an opinion after i give it a good testing in the field and see how shes holding up.,:)

    Some of the pics are a little dark but i didnt have a tripod handy.,
