Last night I picked up this H&K USP 45 Compact. It has an AC (2002) date code and has been fired less than 500 rounds according to the original owner. I have three other USPs and know the wear to look for and his stated usage appears to be spot on. It has Tru Dot tritium night sights.


And here it is hanging out with my other compact 45 ACPs. Top left Kimber Ultra CDP II, top right Bond Arms Texas Defender derringer, bottom left Glock 36 with hard chromed upper and bottom right the new USPc. This picture sucks but I am too lazy to take another one.

I love your gun centerfolds! That beige couch makes such a flattering setting for them.  :2thumbsup:

I must have known on some level that one day I would have a digital camera and desktop when I bought that couch.  :zoinks:

PPK if you ever join the Royal Court I will make your The Duke of Armory and in charge of all my military.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

That is a nice offer, I have to finish out my current job before thinking any further on it.  :thumbup:

How does one buy a parking ticket?  Does it allow you to park anywhere or just one place?  Surely you don't mean that you paid for a parking infraction?

It allowed me to park anywhere. Well, on any street that belongs to the same parking zone.

And one buys them from machines strategically placed where parking is allowed. :orly:

Oh yeah, I think we do have those. Having a different name for it eliminates the confusion.  :duh:
