Sig or H&K???

to be fair, if you dry fire USPs, the firing pins may snap too, best use some snap caps.... there have been a few posts about broken fireing pins from dry firing (or they thought it was from dry firing) on HKPRO.com

i own a SS USP, and love it to bits

I did use snap caps. It wasn't the firing pin.

I think you need to do a little more research, and maybe stay away from the HK sites when you do it. Talk to Wild West Shooting Center about HK slide durability, they will tell you the same thing I will, they don't last very long and fail bad.

By the way if you do have an HK part fail guess who will be repairing it? Why FN Sports of course, so be prepared for another long wait.

We have imported Kimbers for 5 years now. We have had very few problems with the guns, and none of the commonly reported "internet" problems. For example, I run external extractor guns on the range and they have never had a problem extracting.

Anyway I am sure that regardless which gun that you buy you will be happy, and have fun shooting. Just don't believe everything you see on the internet.

I was on all kinds of sites, and the comments are from real owners, not dealers with an agenda. Countless different people and expert tests point to the HK more than any other gun. Kimber complaints are huge. I get the impression its like buying a car that's ###y but needs constant work. That's ok for mechanical dudes, but I just want to shoot, not be an armorer. But thanks for your unbiased opinion.
GO CANUCKS!!
 
(NOTE TO SELF)****
When you relace the firing pin, replace the spring as well!
This weekend I had a malfunction on a long field stage. "0"'d the stage. The Firing pin spring was worn overlapped the firing pin, causing it the firing pin to stick in the forward position. I would say make this regular maintenance. Perhaps every 8000-10,000rds.

This was with your USP? Or, a Sig?
 
USP, Custom sport. Firing pin broke at around 8500rds, and countless dryfire (with and without snap caps). I replace the firing pin, but not the firing pin spring, which should be done at the same time.

I was unaware that I had an agenda. Please let me know what it is. I sell both SIG and HK guns and run both on the range. The SIGs last much longer. If you want to talk to Ken or me about HK performance on our ranges, you may get a slightly different perspective from what you have seen on the internet. Your choice, I am not forcing anyone.


Kimber sells more 1911 guns in the US than any other maker. Counting the number of guns with problems does not mean much.

As far as agenda, I reacted to your reply about how I got my info, and you were incorrect so I gave you a shot (with HK of course).
I must say I am proud of you and your store for the stand you took against FN and Nichols. ATTABOYS!! I sent emails to FN, Sigarms, and that one I can't spell in Switzerland, about FN wrecking Sig's rep in Canada.
