New USP 9mm owner, advice appreciated.

[infinitest]

I bought a used H&K USP 9mm today. Is there a "recommended things to buy" list floating around (I looked a bit)?

I'm specifically looking to buy a good cleaning kit (e.g. Otis and Hoppes) and a small gun safe I can mount under my bed (e.g. Nanovault).

Edit: picked it up today!

HK USP buy list;
Mags and Ammo. Holster.
Great guns.
Cleaning supplies are very user subjective.

Congratz on a great pistol.

More ammo

Mags, match trigger kit, people tend to have their own preferences with holsters, etc.

Does the Hk Webstore still have that 30% off deal?

Stick a magnet to your bedframe. Don't bother with gun vaults unless worried about little ones.

No it ended already. It was only a few days.

Whelp, glad I got that match trigger kit and mags.

Insight M2 UTL weapon light. No longer made, but appears to be in stock here. Direct mount with no adapter needed. http://nightvisionsales.com/itt-m2-u...html?tag=Flash

Kind of a must have legacy accessory for the USP if you can find them. Mine works great and has for a very long time.

Good catch! I ordered a few mags and a convex E1 butt pad too. 30% was a pretty smokin deal.

All good suggestions here. I have a usp 9 that I slapped some pachmyr grips on, extra mags and a match trigger kit are pretty much all you need. The recoil spring on this bad boy is very nice and will make shooting a very comfortable experience with it.

Shoot early, shoot often, and shoot a lot.

No little ones around and there won't be for any reason (friends that come by don't have kids), so this is a solid idea, thanks.

Haha will definitely be shooting a lot. Found an outdoor range that's less than 5 miles away from my place.

I'll probably hold off on the trigger kit until I've put a few hundred rounds through it. Thanks again for the recommendations everyone!

This may be a dumb question, but is there a preferred brand of ammo for the USP 9?

What is everyone using for ammo storage?

[adrenaline]

I've had my USP for years. The question I have is more along the lines....

WHAT DOESN'T IT EAT UP?

It has successfully shot everything that I've put in her. What's the preferred? I prefer Speer Gold Dot for home defense...and a similar weight for range time (FMJ).
