7 Reasons to Choose the Heckler & Koch USP

The Heckler & Koch USP otherwise known as the Universal Self-Loading Pistol is one of the most popular pistols on the market. The HK USP is typically known as a 45 ACP pistol; although a wide range of varying configurations are available. Heckler & Koch makes USP tactical pistols, USP compact pistols, USP elite pistols, USP expert pistols, and many more varieties. The USP pistols have been torcher tested with extreme temperatures and conditions, which have proven the reliability and durable design of these remarkable firearms.

The HK USP compact series have been ideal for concealed carry owners, with the LEM or law enforcement modification trigger, which works as an external safety. This trigger system also allows for faster trigger resets, and faster shooting ability. Also a number of users have discovered with a new barrel they can modify their 40S&W firearm to a 357 Sig pistol, using the same magazines.

The Heckler & Koch USP has been featured in movies, video games, television shows, and just about every other media outlet. The tactical advantage of these remarkable firearms crossed from shooting communities to main stream, and has surprisingly become a great deal of new shooter's first pistol. Although the HK USP has been leading the way for tactical pistols, Heckler & Koch is releasing their new 45 pistol.

The new Heckler & Koch 45C is the newest pistol on the production line, these pistols were designed for Elite US Special Forces operatives, as the primary sidearm of tactical operations. Although the new HK 45C is on it's way to the civilian market, the HK USP is showing no signs of aging, despite its big brother coming to the scene.

Despite further development of the HK45 series pistols, the designs are still fundamentally similar to the Mark 23 SOCOM pistols, which is the father of the USP. All of these firearms use the O-rings, to ensure enhanced accuracy and prevent wear from the slide. By preventing slide contact these firearms are known for their like new condition, even after years of avid shooting.

A draw back that some see with using O-rings is the need for replacement every so often to keep from cracks or breaks in the O-ring. For a nominal fee of around five dollars, I consider it to be a small price to pay for having one of the most efficient precision pistols on the market. During testing of the USP dropping, weather, and acts of extreme cruelty, did not keep this remarkable firearm down, it just won't stop.

In conclusion after all my experiences with the Heckler & Koch firearms, I see no reason not to take advantage of the anticipation of the new release, and get a great deal on the old faithful HK USP. Despite the trend to have the newest and most innovative, I know with my USP pistol, that I am already there. All my friends and associates whom purchases the HK USP have all given it the same outstanding reviews, and I'm sure that it will remain a dominate high quality pistols for the foreseeable future.

The standard in tactical pistol technology for special forces and law enforement. Almost twenty years of production and showing no signs of aging.
