HK USP (Universal Self-loading<\/a> Pistol<\/a>) has found<\/a> international acceptance<\/a> as an accurate and ultra-reliable handgun. Features<\/a> favored by U.S. law enforcement<\/a> and military users<\/a> provided much of the design<\/a> criteria for the HK USP. The controls are uniquely<\/a> American, influenced<\/a> by such famous<\/a> designs as the Government<\/a> Model 1911 pistol. All USPs use a fiber<\/a>–reinforced<\/a> polymer frame stiffened by stainless steel inserts at areas subject to stress and friction.<\/span><\/p>\n Hk usp compact pioneered<\/a> this use of polymer materials in the production of handguns more than 30 years ago with the development<\/a> of the VP70Z and P9S pistols. The USP control<\/a> 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<\/a> with a special patented recoil reduction system, the USP recoil reduction system reduces recoil effects on pistol components and also lowers the recoil forces felt by the shooter<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n It functions effectively in all USP models. The modular design of the USP\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n Variant 1: Double action\/single action with \u201cSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (manual safety\/decoking lever) on left side of frame. Variant 2: Double action\/single action with \u201cSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (manual safety\/decocking lever) on right side of frame. Variant 3: Double action\/single action without \u201cSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (decocking lever) on left side of frame. Variant 4: Double action\/single action without \u201dSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (decocking lever) on right side of frame. Variant 5: Double action only with \u201dSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (manual safety) on left side of frame. Variant 6: Double action only with \u201dSAFE\u201d\u00a0position. Control lever (manual safety) on right side of frame. Variant 7: Double action without control lever (no manual safety\/decocking lever) Variant 8: Double action without control lever (no manual safety\/decocking lever) SPECIAL VARIANT FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCY Variant 9: Double action\/single action with control lever (manual safety\/no decocking function) on left side of frame. Variant 10: Double action\/single action with control lever (manual safety\/no decocking function) on right side of frame.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" hk usp HK USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) has found international acceptance as an accurate and ultra-reliable handgun.
