H&K USP and Straight-Thumbs Grip?

[9teeneleven]

Any H&K USP shooters been able to find a straight-thumbs grip that works? The safety switch is bulky enough to be murdering the inside of my thumb joint when I do a thumbs over safety grip. The recoil just nails the hard edge of the safety into the joint. Anyone that shoots a USP regularly use a straight-thumbs grip, and if so did you have a similar issue?

I shoot like that, only I keep my thumb under my safety. Just feels better to me.

I just tried thumb over safety and that's just awkward. I feel like I would lose a great deal of control if I shot like that.

Get rid of the saftey and convert it to lem trigger. Trigger pull is so much better. Might want to shoot one first though, some folks don't like it.

Yes. The safety level and the tang prevented any decent thumbs forward grip for me. I've got one USP that had a tang reduction which helps a lot. Safety still feels awkward on it, but it's very do-able now. Also, no problems on the P2000.

I never could get a thumbs forward grip to work with my P2000. Kept hitting the slide release lever and causing it to lock back prematurely.

I use the large grip insert in my p2000. Also, I am a thumbs off frame guy. I have similar issues with a P30 though. Wish they would sell the short slide release here.

This thumbs forward grip has been a curse and a blessing. I can shoot faster, but gun selection's very limited now.
