    I've wanted a USP Tactical in .45 since forever. I've seen a few around but circumstances never seemed to align for me to pick one up. I did manage to get a standard .45 and kept it for a little while but it wasn't truly what I wanted.

    The Marshall model was just a Promotional model of the Double Nine. Exact same gun just with Imitation stag or ivory grip.

    Except some versions of the Double Nine had a steel frame. The Marshall’s frame was aluminum.

    The Durango and the longhorn could be had with either aluminum or metal frame. Basically same gun just different name. The double 9 Made after 1971 had Steel frame.

    Parker Invincible
    Rumor, Lore, myth has it that there were seven made. Only three have been found and they are in the NRA museum. Someone out there has an A Grade Parker that’s really an Invincible.

    The Marshall was made 1971 - 1973 and had an aluminum frame.
    I believe the steel-framed Double Nine was higher quality but The Marshall was my first handgun and I only paid $60 for it in 1973 so….

    I had one once, the full kit in the dedicated HK zipper bag. That and a Para Ordinance P13 and a Taurus PT millennium were the only 45s I've ever owned. The 2 smaller were rough on a wrist. I think I traded it for an M1A. I'm amazed at how USPs have held their values. I begrudgingly traded my compact to get my full size back, started looking for another to host all my custom parts. I ended up buying a P30 for way less and traded back with him. Now I just finished building a pseudo "Wick stick". I see one every now and again over on HKPro forums, next time I'll give you a heads up!

    I don’t know if they just made fewer snub nose or people are just hanging onto them but I do see a LOT more 4” and 6” S&Ws than the short barrel.
