Hi All,
I have a USP .45 full size, and I am wondering if anyone knows how safe they are as far as the hammer on the firing pin situation.
If I have the safety off, and the hammer down into DA position, and I drop it, will it go off? Of if I hit the hammer with my elbow while it is in a holster with that set it off like it would on a 1911? Is the hammer sitting right on the pin, or is there a mechanical seperation?
Or if I have the hammer back into SA position, and I drop it, will the hammer release?
I am curious, but I didn't want to beat the hell out of weapon to find out. So if any of you guys know, please share.
I am guessing that HK engeneering will make it pretty safe, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks,
