HK USP .45 ELITE

[Millerlite]

Hey guy and gals,
I went to one of my local gun shops here in york county last week and picked up a USP Elite. This was more or less an impulse buy, something that I don't do very often but It was new in the box unfired and I got a good deal on it. My only problem is that when tring to do research on them all i can find is 6 year old threads on forums. What i'm trying to find out is when these were made and when HK quit importing them. Any info on these guns would be helpful.
Thanks

Mind if I ask what you paid? It took me nine months to find the one I bought, now over two years ago.

Well I say it was an Impulse buy but i had seen them before and this was the first one i had seen with the soft case under $1600, I paid $1250.

Meaning he got a deal or got robbed?

$1250 sounds like a deal to me. The Elites' are very sought after by HK Heads.

ETA- Chem, I think your thoughts are the same as mine. Not 100 though.

I just remembered i had a picture of the gun on my phone it was made in 08. Thanks again.

So, from what i've found these things are as rare as hen teeth. I shot it last night and even with my small collection of .45's I have to say this thing is the most accurate one i have and there is some stiff competition- Sig P220ST, Kimber Crimson Carry Pro, and a S&W 625. I'm wondering how it would do against an Colt gold cup or another match pistol. Any good holster recomendations?

He got a hell of a deal

ETA: Wait nvm...that's around standard price, I was thinking of the tactical or the Mark 23

What I thought you meant, see ETA above
