Anybody put a HK45C magazine release in their USPs?

[tonyt915]

Did it on a usp 40 with no issues

Where are all getting these magazine releases??
I can find no one with this factory Hk45c part..
I'm even willing to modify a few holsters for this..
Only need a couple BUT??

Going back to the success and failure cases.
Success: it works on USP 9/40/45 (but read the failure cases), and P2000. I love it.
Failures: The white/translucent jet funnel magazines drop while shooting. If you have the jet, do not install the extended mag release.
Unknown: I do not know what happens with the black jet funnel magazines.

It's been a while now but I remember a thread about someone having to file/sand the very small stair step off the 45c release in order to get it to latch into place correctly on a USP with polymer magazines.. Unsure Why?
I'll put up a picture of both & you can see it..
The arrow shows the step that was removed in order to get it to fit correctly.. It's the stop where it rests at the bottom of the frame..
Almost looks like the USP Release has been filed on in the lower photo.. You can see the strokes in two directions.. LOOK..
Wish I could find that post, Probably @ HkPro?? Unsure Now.. My Mind has been a mess.. Forgive Me..
I'll Keep Searching & Should Find It..

This is a modification that I want to try on both my USP 40 Compacts & will get a couple of them soon enough..

Btw to the question of where to buy it - Numrich has it right now:

Magazine Release (Compact) | Gun Parts Corp.

Shop for your Magazine Release (Compact) with Numrich Gun Parts - the world's largest supplier of gun parts.

www.gunpartscorp.com

It is not a stellar price but it is in stock.

That's the ONLY place that has them in stock currently..
Except the $50 colored aluminum ones
I haven't ordered YET & wanted to keep it secret till I got mine..
Cat is out of the bag..
I have two in my cart currently & working up an order..

Sorry about that.
I learned the hard lesson to look at them (even if they are pricey) after I paid even more for the same but used part on eBay. :-(

No man It's a crazy market right now & you have all these new gun buyers in the game scarfing up parts, magazines & accessories etc..
They all think they know a bunch but know very little to nothing..
I've been into Heckler & Kochs since 1999 & S&Ws since 2003 before that it was Ruger, SIG & Beretta..
I've ordered parts from Numrich for over 20+ years, They come to the KCR Machine Gun Shoot twice a year.. Good Folks!!

Thanks this is going to make me just order these & pay the S&H & work up a few other goodies just because..

I've been in depression since my Twin brother Died two Weeks Ago & Have to find an Escape + Need a Different Car Yesterday..

Quote my own post..
Where?? Factory
A day late & a dollar short..

 

[Hk-USPC-40]

Thinking about ditching this mod & moving on..
No one will ever have them in stock when I'm ready to buy..
It's been 8-9 months I've been after a couple of these..
Anybody out there hoarding these up for big $ will be left with them unsold..
I no longer am going to waste my time looking for any..

I will offer $8ea no more.. Should be $7..

Are you on the 'Notify Me'?

 

[Hk-USPC-40]

Yes..
I'm on every Notify Me list there is.. + Some..

 

[Deputydave]

I know it sucks when you're looking for a part and it's out of stock everywhere. Same thing happened with I was looking to put a MS on a couple of Sig P365's last year. Finally found them in stock but it took several months. This time around when I was looking for the three parts to convert my P365XL they were all in stock on the first go around. It's all timing.

 

[Hk-USPC-40]

I know you are right David but the wait SUCKS!! It Does but then~?~?~ WAIT WAIT WAIT Get Discusted WAIT Some more..
Ahhhh! The Pain of it all...

 

[Hk-USPC-40]

I Found the picture of the magazine release that shows the Factory One, USP45c One, & a Modified One to Remove the Step..
May have found a lead on a Factory New One & will post back after the swap has been made

Factory USP Compact~~~~~Factory Hk45c~~~~~Modified To Remove Step~

Well after a 2 month wait @Omega21 sent me a Hk45C magazine release FREE..
It came yesterday & just got around to mounting it..
It's sweet but will require I trim a couple holsters to allow room for the larger release..

THANKS Omega21, I owe you one Brother
