First Off if t's one of you guys/gals pistols you really need therapy badly
You should have your soldering iron taken away

Safety lever, magazine release, magazine floor plates & total frame burnt with a soldering iron = added grip texturing :ROFLMAO:
Saw this on gunbroker for sale for $800 with 5 magazines = 3/12s & 2/10s + 2 kydex holsters

Man that is just plain fugly.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lot of people chase it, and lose the battle.
 
I would say it doesn't look half bad, I've seen others that are far more atrocious and for a lot more money

in any event, it's not going to make the pistol function any worst than a run of mill USP with that stippling on it

IMO that USPc is $300 overpriced before the hack job done to it
I have seen worse on Glocks in the past, why not cut the grip to take a P2000sk magazine too

Have a buddy's guitar on my bench that was in storage for a couple years with no strings & has a huge back bow
I will have a try at fixing it with the heating pad & clamp technique + heavier .010" strings
Thank You Very Much Sir! Kev from Kiev you owe me dawg

Just get rid of those grips, put on some mahogany dark colored grips. GTG!!!!!

NOW that would be a good trick considering there are no panel grips to take off......or are you saying what we're seeing is an aftermarket grip that can come off, revealing a USP underneath?

Just Epoxy some 1911 slabs on there & then have a try at checkering them too
Some folks just shouldn't be allowed near firearms with tools or a soldering iron
That one above took a $300 depreciation & being they are worth $600 makes that a $300 pistol not $800 = $500 overpriced IMO
If it sells for $800 I'll eat my HK Hat

I don't know about epoxying 1911 panels on it.............that will look even worse. no, about the only thing you can do to that USP is shoot it and live with what it looks like.

of course, some people may like the 'alligator" look of it. it's distinctive that's for sure

more than 20 years ago I came across a lend-lease British M1911A1 that some one put some real rough and not so nice 'stippling" almost looked like spikes down the front strap.

I though about it for quite a while if that could be smoothed out and restored to what it once was..........but I didn't know if it even could be done and who would do that and how much it would cost, so I left it

I'm just trying to figure out what happened to the area near the base of the grip that someone felt they needed to make it look like a Luger P08. The only thing this gun has going for it is the nice early grey case that comes with it...

Im betting....Somewhere they heard or saw you should have some of the mag exposed so you can grip strip it out if it ever jams in a catastrophic failure....mall ninja mod IMO (which I know nobody asked for 😉)

Been carrying a sidearm in the line of duty since 1995 (USMC, TXAG, TX LEO) and NONE of my pistols had that, didnt need it, and never saw a scenario (training or real world) which that little notched area really enhanced the performance of immediate or remedial actions to clear a gun and get back in the fight. Myself personally as well as many OISs (officer involved shootings) investigated. But that is only MY experience....someone may have a story where it enhanced performance 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
I'm thinking someone got overzealous with the soldering iron (if that is what was used) and poked right through the thin area. An awe $hit moment for sure when it was realized that the mags now suddenly stick in the mag well and won't drop free. "Here, hold my beer, I can fix that." SMH

Ok....yah got me. I don't own one, so I wouldn't know. I was thinking it was like a P7 series, and you could just remove that crap.
Hell.....give me a hammer and I can make sh$t happen. Can't make it any worse.

Cheers!!!!

But it comes with a Glock's Rare cable lock too. + paper clip...
The Gray case is worth $35 but has no Owners Manual
 
I had a photo somewhere of a USPc that was painted pink with a logo, I'm sure it's still for sale us UGLY comes to mind when you see it
I think the burnt one above has it beat for sure
No way to fix ugly as it goes to the bone on this Hk
Fugly

There's something Sexy about these pistols & the soldering Iron has taken that away from this poor specimen, Bless It's Heart...:ROFLMAO:
