HK USP9 Expert V1 5.2" 9mm Pistol, Black - 81000361

The HK USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) was the first Heckler & Koch 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 Model 1911 pistol. The control lever, a combination safety and/or 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 is built to take the punishment of the most powerful SAAMI specification loads. The recoil reduction system lessens recoil effects on pistol components and also lowers the recoil forces felt by the shooter. The USP recoil reduction system is insensitive to ammunition types and requires 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 can 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 a variety of others.
