Where to buy a USP?

    I've been looking to buy a USP pistol for a while, but I cant seem to find anyone that sells them in Ireland. Well, I think I saw one site that sells them, but is always out of stock. Does anyone know where I might pick one up, or why they are so hard to find?

    By the way, I'm looking for a standard USP, not the compact version.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks but I was just looking for the standard USP, and not the tactical version. Its strange how its out of stock or not for sale anywhere in Ireland.

    ABS non-blow back standard USP here for 50 bucks
    Its a fixed slide and no trades though:

    Best bet is get it from the uk or grab a second hand one off the usual forums

    Not really a fan of that one you linked bullets, but cheers anyways.

    You might be right Gaz. Is there a list of UK retailers anywhere on this forum? I find it difficult trying to find airsoft gun retailers through google for some reason.

    It's not in Ireland, but it is in the EU (so duty/VAT is not an issue), Taiwan Gun have the KSC one at the moment.

    You will probable have trouble with the UK retailers. Because of the VCRA most will not sell to people outside the UK.

    No you won't, all that garb only applies to guns shipped to a uk residence. They all will ship here no problem at all, been there, done that :)

    I stand corrected.

    I only found out by ringing up. Didn't have a breeze what all the crap was about ''proof of defence'' and vcra numbers all over every uk site!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭VonLuck


    It's very strange. Every single website doesn't have the normal Umarex USP pistol in stock. All they have is either the match version or the compact version.

    Have they stopped producing them or what is the reason behind this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭Gaz2010


    Just sold out i'd imagine. Does it have to be new, i've seen a few second hand ones around

    Doesn't have to be new but the only USP's I've seen in the adverts section are compacts unfortunately!

    My advice would be to join up on one of the brit forums as they get much more traffic and seem to have better quality stuff than here.
