Heckler & Koch USP Description:
The HK USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) is the first HK pistol designed especially for American shooters. Features favored by the U.S. military, law enforcement agencies, and civilian users provided the design criteria for the USP. Its controls are uniquely American, influenced by such famous designs as the Government Model 1911 pistol.
The USP control lever, featured on many variants of the USP, USP Compact, and USP Specialized models, is a combination safety and/or decocking lever. The control lever is frame mounted and quickly accessible, unlike the slide mounted safeties common on many semi-automatic pistols. The USP control lever has a positive stop and returns to the “fire” position after decocking. A key advantage of the USP control lever is that it allows many USP models to be safely carried “cocked and locked”.
Using a modified Browning-type action, both full-size and compact models of the USP use patented recoil reduction systems, enabling all USP series pistols to take the punishment of powerful +P and +P+ loads. The USP and USP Compact recoil reduction systems lessen recoil effects on pistol components and also lower the recoil forces felt by the shooter. These recoil reduction systems are insensitive to ammunition types and require no special adjustment or maintenance. It functions effectively in all USP models.
By using a modular approach to the internal components, the control lever function of the USP Series pistols can be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol for lefthanded shooters. The USP and USP Compact can also be converted from one type of trigger firing mode to another. This includes combination double-action and single-action (DA/SA) modes, single-action only (SA-Only), and double action only (DA-Only) modes, including the HK proprietary LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) enhanced trigger system. Optional “dual” ambidextrous control levers are also available and are standard on some USP specialized models.
