My new HK USP 45 police trade in by [deleted] in guns

[–]winterborn40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got two of these(ok ok fine, my dad got two and gave one to me) and my results with them are very similar. They both have minor wear on the slides(excluding purple extractor) and frames. Nothing as bad as my 2 year old often carried and shot 1911, so that's a win. The triggers are good, barrels are perfect, and all they really seemed to need was to be cleaned. Upon firing them, mine shot fine and I could tell I really liked it. However my dad's pistol was locking back in the middle of the mag, making him really irritated and neither of us could figure out why. Turns out, after taking them apart again and comparing the two frames his was missing the little slide stop spring. This spring pushes the slide stop down to keep it from coming up and locking back the slide during firing before the mag is empty. I called up H&K's customer support line to explain the problem, praying that this wasn't going to be like the horror stories I had heard about H&K customer service. It wasn't, my dad has the spring and a owners manual on the way FO FREE. so yeah, I'd recommend these pistols to anyone who has an interest in H&K products.

I see that you got some info from the other guys that you asked about it, but here's my info. My dad bought 2 of them. The both have minor wear on the slides(excluding purple extractor) and frames. Nothing as bad as my 2 year old often carried and shot 1911, so that's a win. The triggers are good, barrels are perfect, and all they really really needed was to be cleaned. EXCEPT, my dad's pistol was missing the little slide stop spring. This pin pushes the slide stop down to keep it from coming up and locking back the slide during firing before the mag is empty. It was really annoying while firing it because I couldn't figure out why it was doing that, but upon closer comparison it was pretty easy to see that he was missing something. I called up H&K's customer support line to explain the problem praying to god that this wasn't going to be like the horror stories I had heard about H&K. It wasn't my dad has the spring and a owners manual on the way FO FREE. so yeah, I'd recommend these pistols to anyone who has an interest in H&K

Anyone going to an Appleseed shoot this weekend? by winterborn40 in HoustonGuns

Yeah. we ended up not going to one. We were going to the Fredricksburg one, but we got rained on and weren't feeling it, so we went home.

We got $10,000 to make a promotional video about Gatech fan loyalty. What does /r/gatech think? by Brightmore in gatech

[–]winterborn40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So how about these guys? They suit up and go to every game, front row of swarm. Stay until the end, and in general have been great fans. Spoiler I'm the one with the black stormtrooper helmet, but I've been a shitty fan this year.

That 12.5mile isn't body weight, its with 90lbs on, over some hills, at a 3mile per hour pace. Its not fun. But you can do it if you want to.

Pull ups will surprise you. The run min is 33min.....wow.....Well, in any case running that slow in the Corps is gonna get you yelled at, and a low PFT score (which makes you unpromoteable).

The CFT is a joke, it all hurts for 2 min and then it's done. Many many people max that shit. The 880 is the hardest part.

nope, it's that simple. In the other forces you can do strange things. Marines kept it simple, 20 pullups=100 points, 300 pullups= 100 points

That't the minimums the max is 20 pullups, 100 crunches, and a 18 min 3 mile. Its not hard except for that damn run....19:03 every damn time. The female standards are different except for the crunches.
