THE
USP
UNIVERSAL SELF-LOADING PISTOL
The
HK USP is the first HK pistol designed especially for American
shooters. Features favored by U.S. law enforcement and
military users provided the design criteria for the USP.
The controls are uniquely American, influenced by such
famous designs as the Government Model 1911 pistol.
All
USPs use a fiber-reinforced polymer frame stiffened by
stainless steel inserts at areas subject to stress and
friction. HK pioneered this use of polymer materials in
the production of handguns more than 30 years ago with
the development of the VP70Z and P9S pistols.
The
control lever, a combination safety and decocking lever,
is frame mounted and quickly accessible, unlike the slide
mounted safeties common on many semi-automatic pistols.
Using
a modified Browning-type action with a special patented
recoil reduction system, the USP recoil reduction system
reduces recoil effectson pistol componentsand also lowers
the recoil forces felt by the shooter. This same recoil
reduction system has been tested and proven in the HK Mark
23 pistol developed for the U.S. Special Operations Command.
the USP recoil reduction system is insensitive to ammunition
types and requires no special adjustment or maintenance.
It functions effectively in all USP models.
The
modular design of the USP's internal components allows
the control lever function to be switched from the left
to the right side of the pistol for left-handed shooters.
The USP can also be converted from one type of trigger
firing mode to another. This includes combination double-action
and single-action (DA/SA) modes and double action only
(DAO) modes.
The
USP is available in nine trigger/firing mode configurations
and three calibers. 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.
