HK’s USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) has been a staple duty gun in military and law enforcement since its introduction in 1993. HK had already developed a polymer-frame pistol in 1970, the VP70, but this was their first full-line of polymer frame pistols. Since its inception, the USP program has outfitted several military and police units, including the German Bundeswehr, the Department of Homeland Security, and Norwegian Special Forces. It incorporates polygonal rifling to extend service life, an enlarged trigger guard for use wearing gloves, an accessory rail for mounting of lights or lasers, ambidextrous magazine release and a revolutionary safety. The safety operates as a decocker when depressed, a safety when raised, and the safety can be engaged with the hammer either cocked or down. This allows for carrying in any condition you would like. Even better, the safety can be installed for a left-handed shooter or can be replaced with a number of systems allowing for double-action-only with or without safety and with or without a lever at all. Purchase the pistol that has served the defense world well for over 40 years, and get your hands on this USP today before it’s gone for good!
