Made in Germany and proofed at Ulm, this USP Compact carries the Eagle over N and Ulm antler proof marks, along with the "KK" date code indicating 1999 manufacture. The Sterling, VA import mark from Heckler & Koch, Inc. confirms its U.S. import history. These markings provide clear, verifiable provenance that collectors and HK enthusiasts value.
Variant 1 configuration delivers HK's DA/SA system with a left-side safety/decocker control lever. The paddle-style ambidextrous magazine release offers intuitive operation, while the spurred, exposed hammer and internal safety suite (firing pin safety and hammer intercept notch) round out its duty-ready controls.
The 3.58 in cold hammer-forged barrel uses HK's polygonal rifling and works with the USP recoil-reduction system to manage .40 S&W recoil efficiently. The bore presents a clean, mirror-like finish consistent with careful prior use.
Built on a black polymer frame with molded grip texture and a black slide with rear serrations, the pistol includes fixed 3-dot sights with an approximate 5.31 in sight radius. Compact dimensions (overall length 6.81 in; height 5.0 in; width 1.38 in) and a weight of 27.6 oz support versatile carry and handling. The proprietary HK Universal Mounting Grooves on the dust cover provide an accessory interface, and the model-specified capacity is 12+1 in .40 S&W.
