The Variant 1 control layout provides a left-side manual safety with decocker and a right-side blanking plug, paired with an ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release. The DA/SA trigger and external spurred hammer offer familiar HK ergonomics and control. The action is a recoil-operated, locked-breech system designed for durability.
The 4.46-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged with polygonal rifling, engineered for longevity and consistent performance. HK's recoil-reduction system uses a captive recoil spring and polymer buffer to manage impulse without adding complexity.
The full-size polymer frame incorporates textured grip panels with integral checkering for traction. A proprietary HK Universal accessory rail with a single relief slot is molded into the dustcover for mounting compatible accessories. Capacity is 12+1 with the included steel magazine.
Sight regulation is handled by fixed 3-dot night sights, with a TRU DOT marked rear blade. German eagle/N nitro proofs and the Ulm antler proof confirm German proofing, while the HK "AA" date code identifies 2000 production. Made in Germany and import-marked by HK’s U.S. arm, this USP45 carries the U.S. Patent 5,309,815 marking on the frame and shows matching serial numbers on the slide, barrel hood, and frame plate.
