Thanks much that's good news. Do you know if the can send out the frame or if he has to send it in to them?

It's not mine but where the crack is I'd probably just do that if it were mine.

If I can I'll try and load picks late tonight.

Re: My Crap, I mean Cracked USP

Still working on getting pictures. I'm trying to get my wife to take a few because my camera skills are lacking.

I contacted HK customer service for the pistol and they gave me an RMA # and told me to send in. Guy on the other end was good to work with and he answered any questions.

I'll post more on how it goes...
And hopefully get pictures up soon.

Carried hk on duty for yrs along with many colleagues. Never seen a frame crack from normal use. Bet it was a double charge.

Pictures of damage.

The gun should be going back to HK for repair in the next few days. I told him to let me know how it goes.

Crack in the frame on the right side,

Frame crack and damaged extractor:

When he gets it back I'll post about the service he gets from HK-USA. Heck if its good I might get my self one of the HK45's. I never shot one but sure like the way they handle.

I wonder if these pistols spent a lot of time in the sun. UV light can make polymer brittle.

The extractor isn't plastic though, something catastrophic must have taken place.

Looks like someone was messing with it, while the safety was engaged.

Did you loan it to a friend?

It's not mine, belongs to a friend. He was shooting with his dad when it happened. I'm just trying to help him get it fixed.

Re: My Crap, I mean Cracked USP

That picture points to a double charged load. Having the extractor break is the biggest clue.

Re: My Crap, I mean Cracked USP

OK, my buddy sent in the pistol to HK. Called HK customer service and got an RMA # from them to send it in and they repaired (replaced) the frame and fixed the extractor on it. It cost him about $180 to get it fixed and they were a pretty quick turn around once he actually sent it in. Overall he was happy and HK sounded good to work with on the repair.

Re: My Crap, I mean Cracked USP

That's too bad- I hope you're able to get it repaired and functional. I really don't see why it should cost $150- if HK's frame fails they should replace it for free. I think any American Gunmaker would do that.
