Our Assessment: The Heckler & Koch USP 45 Compact is a scaled-down version of the renowned USP 45, designed to offer the same robustness and reliability in a more compact and concealable form. This firearm is a preferred choice for those who require a powerful sidearm that combines the stopping power of the .45 ACP cartridge with the practicality of a smaller frame, making it well-suited for both concealed carry and law enforcement duties.
What sets the USP 45 Compact apart is its thoughtful design, which maintains the core aspects of its larger counterpart. The pistol features a polymer frame, renowned for its durability and resistance to extreme environmental conditions.
