I have a USP Compact .40 and I have put about 10-15k rounds through it with only 1 witnessed malfunction. I have put 500-1000 rounds through it in one day training sessions with no issues. I clean it religiously and have had no issues with it .....save the one malfunction and I attributed that to crappy ammo as I switched ammo and I have not had any issues since.
Just My .02 cents worth.

Then, with each of my four magazines, I experienced double feeds. Finally, I experienced multiple extraction problems, with the spent casings sometimes rotating 180 degrees and getting stuck in the chamber, sometimes flying straight backward and leaving a bloody mark on my forehead.
I walked off the range and called it a day when the rear sight worked loose. The gun was brand new (<1000 rounds), clean, and I was shooting plain old 230 gr. Winchester hardball. Not sure I'd want to see you guys depending on this one, either, FWIW. Oh, and the 8 lbs. "single action" trigger pull isn't exactly a winner, either...
