<title>H&amp;K USP9 DAO</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I picked up an H&amp;K USP9 this week. My first 9mm.<br />
I've shot lots of 9mm's but never owned one before. <br />
I know, I know I should hang my head in shame.<img src="https://sixshootercommunity.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png" alt=":-)" /> <br />
All funnin' aside, I really like this piece. It has a Jet Funnel (mag funnel that extends the grip 3/8&quot; and then uses 18 round mags instead of the 14 round originals).<br />
The biggest reason I bought it? It came with 7 18 round mags, the last I saw listed for over $65 each.<br />
It has night sights, although the tritium is starting to fade. IThe glow is still visible, but will need to go back to Trijicon for new capsules in a few years. </p>
<p>There are a couple of reasons why I bought this, one is that the recoil spring is light enough that my wife and daughter can rack the slide easily. <br />
The USP9 is destined for duty as home protection, so it must be operable by all of the members of the household.<br />
Operatrion is nice, the DAO trigger is lighter than I expected, maybe due to it reportadly having the Competiton trigger in it? Not having shot one before I couldn't say for certain.<br />
Take-up is long, but the actual trigger pull is pretty light.</p>
<p>As is my custom, I stopped at a buddy's place on the way home and put a few magazine loads through it. I had bought 2 boxes of Magtech hardball, as I didn't have any 9mm at home.<br />
I inmserted the first mag, racked the slide took aim, pressed the trigger and got a very unsettling CLICK! Hhhmmmm, OK, so I waited for a minute with the gun pointed at the target, tried another strike (multi strike capability is nice) and gotr the same click.<br />
Does this thing even work? After ejecting the dud round, all the rest went bang like they are supposed to. Right to POA as a matter of fact.<br />
It seems to be very accurate, but stnding in the 15* cold with 15 mph winds really made it hard to judge for sure.<br />
We'll see when I have a chance to ring it out (probably in Arkansas at CSA).</p>
<p>It's not a revolver, and it has all the appeal of a shovel, but it is a well made and from what I gather a brute strong, durable piece.<br />
I like it!</p>
