    I was looking for the non compact version but cant seem to find any retailers in Ireland that stocks them. Any ideas where I might pick one up?

    Any if you've any experience with a KWA USP .45, let me know!

    Cheers.

    I saw that alright but that is KSC. I've heard people recommend the KWA over the KSC but I'm not sure what to go for. I did a quick search on the forums and everyone seems to have a USP Compact! I'd prefer the normal version myself...

    KWA is KSC, the difference in name has to do with trademarks and importing into Japan I believe.

    I did not realise that. It makes me wonder then why there is such a large price difference between the KWC USP full size you linked and the KWA USP Compact. An extra €75 for markings and the longer barrel? Has to be something more to it surely?

    The KSC is probably the System 7 version - it's a much more efficient gas system, and tends to cost more.

    They both say System 7 in the description. Finding it hard to decide what to go for seeing as they are essentially the same guns but a large price difference...

    As I understand it, the KSC ones carry trades, the KWA ones do not. I have a KSC USP Compact (older, not System 7), and have owned it since 2007 and it ain't going anywhere.

    If you can get your hands on a pre-Umarex-defacement USP with trades, I would suggest you do so
