So because its my birthday i just got my first ever pistol, a kwa usp compact. Can anyone give me a rundown of everything i shud know so it doesnt break?

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Lube all the moving parts on the pistol keeping lube away from the hop up chamber. 100 % silicone oil
Note:(keeplubeawayfromiphone)

Lube also the seals on the mag. If lubing the mag BB chamber dont use a lot. you dont want that crap on your bbs.

Go buy a serpa holster.... and water front property.

Thanks! And when lubing it do u have to take the spring and spring guide out or just the slide off? I couldnt find any hard plastic holsters so i got a fabric one, its not bad but hopefully i can find a nice one i can order off the internet. This one is just temporary (unless i really like it) also ive never put gas in a gbb before so tomorrow when playing with asg will be my first time, how do you know when the mag is full?

In terms of the holsters. I used to have a fabric one also (by condor), and those things will just willy nilly let your pistol fall out, even if you have all the straps done up. If you're gonna use a fabric holster, get a pistol lanyard. You can get one online from most retailers for under $20. I know Dave's has a bunch that are also around the $20 mark. But eventually you're gonna want a kydex/sepra style holster. Dave's usually has a tonne of them (a whole wall section devoted to them when I was there last). They're close to $60 all said and done, but it's a real blackhawk serpa holster, and they are honestly one of the best pieces of kit I have ever purchased.

After i bought my pistol at milsig we went to ds tactical and asked and they didnt have any, they tons for 1911, beretta, and glock, but nothing for the usp. I also checked poco and milsig. Any other places that are good for this kinda stuff? Because we live in langley and dont want to drive the distance if we dont kno that it is there for sure.

To the internet you go.

^^^ Yup, pretty much. Check out Ebay. And go for a real Blackhawk Serpa or G-Code holster. I've heard of and seen knock off literally fall apart in the field.

If you want a cheap chinese knock-off Trigger has them for USP

But.. I have one of these and a real blackhawk one, the real one is sturdy and feels like it will last, the chinese one almost fell off during my first game using it, 2 out of 3 screws ripped right out and the 3rd was barely staying on. I superglued it back together but I don't trust that at all.

BTW, nice first pistol, I love the USP Compacts, almost as much as I love glocks

So far the feel and grip is fantastic but im trying the shooting ability this afternoon. Hopefully its as fantastic as it feels. I think ill buy the real one just cause its better to buy right once than wrong 50 times.
