Loading an H&K USP Compact .40 Caliber

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I'm going to show you how to load your H&K USP compact 40 pistol. The H&K USP compact 40 has a magazine. You would take this magazine, and you would load it with ammunition. You would take the the magazine, and insert it into the magazine well until it clicks. At that point, you would open the slide, and then crack the slide closed. At that point, you'd just chamber it around into the chamber. Now, the nice thing about the HK USP compact 40 is if you notice, this is a traditional double action firearm, and the other thing about it is the hammer is currently in the cocked position; hence, that's why we have it pointed in a safe direction. At that point what you could do is two things. You could either go up to safety; if you were shooting you would do that, or you could decock the firearm, and then holster it if you wanted to. And that is the way that you load an HK USP compact 40."
