HK Match Weights

[iareConfusE]

Anyone put one on their USP?
Does it make a noticeable difference at all?

Why is a chunk of machined metal $180? I can't imagine a whole lot of engineering and R&D went into it considering it's just a weight that is clamped on to the front of the gun. So, what's the deal?

I had the Matchweight in Aluminum and now have the Factory Match Weight in steel.

Depends on caliber, but I did notice my muzzle returned to POA a teeny bit faster on follow up shots. The advantage here is a bit subjective, but if it’s something that helps your shooting, I guess it’s worth it.

I opted for the heavier USP steel match weight since going to 10mm in my USP. Makes the gun more enjoyable to shoot, and let’s be honest with ourselves — it looks cool.

Is it $180 cool though?

Just put a light on it, it balances well. I have a expert 45 with a gg&g rail with light for sale on the classifieds if you are interested.

What kind of shooting? Indoor range plinking? Or action shooting?

Personally, I don't think it makes sense unless it is the latter... But then, unless, you are looking for millisecond splits, see the sights that fast, good grip to begin with, etc. - the benefits are nominal. It's still the fundamentals that gives the most bang for the buck!

My match weights with my USP Expert 45 with factory ammo? Grip, muscle use and stance...

I guess I just wanted someone who owned a USP with a match weight to explain why they cost so much. It might make sense if it greatly increases your recoil control, but your statements confirm my suspicion that it's mostly just a cool looking overpriced piece of metal that might negligibly improve shooting.

Caveat, though... That negligible improvement may be significant with the higher level shooters looking for that millisecond advantage! Robert Vogel, for example, uses a match weight in competition. I know a couple of shooters in USPSA that uses a $120 match weight in a Glock 34 in the Limited division.

Wait. A 10mm usp? How did you make that conversion? Which usp did you convert. That sounds amazing?

Extra benefit of preventing out-of-battery malfunctions when you kung-fu gunkata doodz at point negative range, like this Glock device.

I'm not sure I'll ever have to Kung-Fu gunkata anyone in this life time with my USP 45. That's what the Glock bayonet is for!

Even the non-HK weights are that expensive.

Because HK owners will pay it.
