Won't really be relevant due to the age here, but...
I had one of the early USPs that came out...got it when only the .40 was out and they were just about to release the 9mm. It was my first handgun. I was catching on OK with it, but ended up just not liking it as much as I thought I would. It had only one problem - it would tend to FTF about one round per magazine on average. A second pull on the trigger always did the trick. I ended up selling it (with the buyer's knowledge of the above - not like I hid it) before I looked into getting it fixed.
I wasn't a great shot with it, but I was doing OK.But then I had one of my best pistol-experience laughs with it. I was packing up to leave the range after a practice session when a coupla guys on the next lane had their nice new 9mm model USP out. Told me they'd just gotten it and one thought it was shooting high/right and the other low/left and wanted to know what I thought.
So I stuck 3 rounds in the mag and ran a fresh target out to nearly the 25yd max length of the range and squeezed 'em off. Pulled the target back in thinking I'd completely missed and was about to be embarrassed - I didn't see any perforation in the white around the bullseye. As the target came the rest of the way in, however, I realized I had put a 3-shot group right centered in the x-ring. Maybe a 1" spread.
Acting like this was completely expected, I deadpanned "There's nothing wrong with that weapon". Turned, walked away, and never looked back.
Only other pistol I've ever shot nearly that well was with a red dot. Never before or since could I do thatwith iron sights. Hehehehehe.
