That's really cool. The USP9 Elite is a lot more expensive than the 45, especially when it's one of the older models that came in a aluminum case like yours.
Mine is a brand new 2021 (CB date code) model which comes in a more plain plastic clamshell case.
Upon breaking down the pistol for clearing I'm even more impressed. All of the machined parts are so smooth, smoother than any other gun that I own. No sharp or rough edges anywhere, everything is just rounded off and smooth. I know that this probably shouldn't surprise me considering the price, but it's a first for me. I'm very pleased.
I'm also pleased to discover that although the trigger has a built-in overtravel stop, it's unnecessary on my particular example since the trigger breaks fully to the rear.
I've ordered a few boxes of Buffalo Bore .45 Super since it was available. It wasn't cheap at $32 a box, but oh well, I already splurged on the gun, might as well splurge on the ammo too. Besides, .45 Super is really only available from 3 companies, all of which are boutique loaders, and the other two were completely sold out, so its not like I could have done any better.
I got three boxes, two FMJ, one JHP, the later of which will likely become my Hertengerger Buscadero Ticondas at the prices I paid.
