Range report HK USP compact 9mm with one hitch and a Q

[newmenu2]

So I took my new HK USP compact 9mm Stainless and put 275 rounds through it. 25 rounds of Remington Golden Sabre regular round, ie not the +p, and 250 rounds of Winchester white box.

I shot the golden sabre first and immidiatly noticed the total lack of recoil. When shooting the second mag of RGS I had a hitch. Stupid me I cant remeber what happened exacly but I think after I pulled the trigger, the round fired, the action went back and forth and I pulled the trigger again and got a click. heres what i cannot remember, I cant remember if I racked the slide and an empty cassing came out or if nothing came out. Either way I finished the last of the RGS without a problem. I then shot all 250 rounds of the Win whitebox without a single hitch but noticed more recoil in those over the golden sabre.

The gun was very very accurate and I love it to death but am concerned with what happened with the non +p golden sabre. i was given the ammo when I bought the gun and have no idea how old it was, it may have been 10+ years old, since the gun is 11 years old its self.

ideas??

could have just been a bad round. Did you look at the ground after you finished shooting to see if there was a "live" round on the ground? Without knowing if it was a empty or a bunk round then there is no definitive answer IMO. Best thing to do is buy more ammo and go shoot it, pick up 150-200 rounds of your chosen SD ammo and shoot it in your gun. If you get no jams or problems I would deem it reliable.

Ooooo...I really like the USP in any size. My preferable caliber is 9mm, but I have yet to shoot one in 9mm. I have shot a full size in .45 and was very accurate as well. Acadamy had the full size USP 9mm this summer for $719 brand new and I was soooo temped to pick one up. I think like stated above you should buy more ammo and try it again. If there is a malfunction stop and asses the situation so you can remember what happened. If you are target shooting there is no hurry so take it slow and prove your gun. I would buy some chosen HP ammo and the LOTS of target ammo and shoot, shoot, and shoot some more.
