You were right sir. I have put 4000 rounds through my H/K pistol without ever experiencing a problem. At the range at 25 feet my USP shoots 1-inch groups on the target. Have used Federal and Winchester ammo. Have owned other guns, but they didn't seeem to be as good of quality -not saying that they're bad--H/K has just been good to me over the years. Have seen a lot of people bad-mouthing H/K. Yes they're expensive, but you get what you pay for.
