This Variant 1 configuration provides a left-side manual safety and decocker with a DA/SA, exposed-hammer system. The ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release supports fast, intuitive reloads, and capacity is 8+1 with the included magazine.
The 3.8-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel uses polygonal rifling and works with HK's short-recoil, modified Browning linkless action. The extractor doubles as a loaded-chamber indicator for at-a-glance status.
Sighting is handled by fixed 3-dot night sights, with a TRU DOT-marked rear unit. The stainless slide contrasts cleanly with the black fiber-reinforced polymer frame.
Made in Germany and Ulm proofed, this pistol bears the eagle over N nitro proof, the Ulm stag antler, and the KI date code indicating 1998. It carries the Heckler & Koch Inc., Sterling, VA import mark and uses proprietary USP Compact accessory grooves.
