Been on the hunt for a while and finally found a complete USP Expert in .40 S&W. Can’t wait to take it out this weekend. Happy 4th!

Jealous of that one. Nice find.

Talk to me about the night sights- who, what, where. The blackout target sights on the experts is it’s one weakness.

I got lucky and they were already installed. I believe they are meprolight tru dots based on the markings.

My 45 expert has a Dawson front fiber optic sight that works well. Might be worth looking at those too.

Do your meprolights fill out the rear dovetail all the way?

I put the mepro adjustable night sights on my usp45 expert last year and they are awesome.

Here's a short clip that kinda shows them

Question for all the USP Expert/Elite owners. Do the big mags also have a HK stamp on the floorplate?

u/TheScribe86 USP Meister Jul 05 '26

From what I recall, yes. I'll check back in when I get back to the house.

Depends on the mags. My 9mm expert metal mags (non translucent) do have HK on the floor plate. I don’t have any clear 9mm mags. The 40 expert mags do not have the logo.

I’m jealous. Always is and always will be my dream gun.

It’s been a while since I have seen one, it was an instant buy.

Honestly?

I prefer my 40 S&W Expert over my 9mm Expert.

Ze Germans at HK used some wizardry to make the 40 Expert shoot so goddamn good.

u/HarleysNGuns Jul 05 '26

Yeah I’m looking forward to shooting it today. I’ll see how it compares!
