Accuracy H&K USP .45 vs Mk23

[JHZR2]

Hello,

Any H&K experts? Im curious in the practical accuracy differences (even if done in a very controlled situation) between the .45 USP tactical and the Mk23.

Ive heard that the Mk23 is considerd ""match grade", but is the .45 USP tactical close?

Ive heard that the Mk23 is very big - too big for many to like.

Searching the net doesnt yield much of use.

Could one consider the .45 USP tactical a "match grade" pistol? Just how much does one give up with the USP vs the Mk23?

Thanks,

JMH

You want accuracy, but not also precision? Are you a good shot?

They both use O-rings on the barrel if I remember right. I think that contributes to the accuracy by making the barrel lockup more consistent.

In realistic terms, nothing. You MIGHT see a difference if you stuck it in a Ransom rest, but even then it would difficult due to the plastic frames. As Mori stated, you would have to be a VERY good shot to tell the difference unless one was a lemon.
