KSC USP Compact
Bought new from Specarms
Propellant: around 3 to 4 bottles Ozark Trail Propane
BBs: Airsoft Elite 0.25g and 0.20g

Problems: Damn, where do I start?

Safety wore down and became useless after less than a month. Decocker works but placing the catch on safe and squeezing the trigger will disengage it.

Original plastic slide destroyed after a thousand or so rounds. Slide catch broke and effectively doubled in length, rear of slide cracked and broke lengthwise in two places on left side and popped off the frame when fired. Replaced with a slightly used plastic slide.

Entire rear of the frame - underneath the hammer, above the backstrap - cracked and broke off exposing the metal hammer assembly. Doesn't affect function.

Second plastic slide showing signs of destruction; slide catch notch peening, cracks developing around rear sight.

Jams occasionally upon firing, not coming fully into battery requiring a push on the slide to lock it up.

Overall I'm extremely disappointed with this pistol and KSC in general. I will not be buying another KSC product.
