Enhanced versions of the USP, the USP Tactical models are designed for users who need the features found on the HK Mark 23, but in a more compact pistol. Both pistols approach the precision found on the Mark 23 by adding an extended threaded barrel with a rubber O-ring, adjustable trigger, and adjustable target-type sights. Originally designed for the American market, the USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) has found international acceptance as an accurate and ultra-reliable handgun. Features favored by U.S. law enforcement and military users provided much of 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 USP 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 effects on pistol components and 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.

HK USP Tactical Features

The HK USP Tactical is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic pistol with a 4.86 inch threaded barrel and can be fired from either a single- or double-action trigger pull.  Designed as an offensive weapon instead of a defensive tool, this ultra-reliable pistol uses the tried-and-true Browning tilting-barrel short-recoil action.  The slide is topped with windage-adjustable rear sights and the frame has a “universal” accessory rail for mounting lights and lasers designed for HK pistols.

HK USP Tactical Capacity

The HK USP Tactical is available in .45 ACP and 9x19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger, 9x19mm NATO).  Both chamberings are available with 10 round magazines if you live in a state that has capacity limits, however the standard capacities are 12 rounds when chambered in the Lord’s caliber and 15 rounds when chambered in 9mm.  The USP Tactical shares magazine compatibility with all full-size USP pistols.

HK USP Tactical Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The HK USP is built with a right-handed control layout aside from the ambidextrous magazine release.  The slide release lever is extended to allow users to easily close the action with their thumb and the manual safety also acts as a de-cocking lever.  The full-sized grip is textured on all four sides and has scallops molded into the bottom to aid in magazine removal if the mag needs to be manually removed.  The large slide has deep, wide slide serrations that offer plenty of grip when manually cycling the action even when your hands are sweaty.


HK USP Tactical Fit & Finish

Every component of the HK USP has been designed for durability and reliability above all else.  While the parts are durable, they are also designed for shootability which led to an incredibly smooth trigger pull and soft recoil.  The coating on the stainless steel slide make the gun incredibly resistant to damage from weather and wear, and the buffer system included in the recoil spring assembly reduces shock stress to internal components.


Fit and Finish

HK USP Tactical Concealability

Concealability
The USP measures 8.6 inches long, 5.3 inches tall and 1.26 inches wide.  With its sharp grip contours, exposed hammer, blocky edges and aggressive grip texturing, concealment would be very difficult without proper attire, and its geometry can easily cause discomfort when carried in certain positions.
