The USP Compact V5 configuration combines DAO operation with a manual safety, offering a consistent trigger pull and on-safe carry in a compact .45 ACP platform. The ambidextrous paddle magazine release is fast and intuitive, and the bobbed hammer minimizes snag potential.
The 3.58-inch cold hammer-forged barrel uses polygonal rifling, enhancing durability and ease of maintenance. The machined steel slide wears H&K's HE Hostile Environment finish over a black polymer frame, balancing toughness with carry-friendly weight.
Fixed low-profile 3-dot sights, and the extractor doubles as a loaded chamber indicator. The dust cover features H&K's proprietary accessory grooves for compatible lights or tools.
Proofed in Germany with eagle/N and Ulm antler marks and carrying the KH date code (1997), this pistol also bears the Heckler & Koch Inc., Sterling, VA import mark. Matching serial numbers on the slide and barrel add to its documented pedigree.
Capacity is 8+1, and this example arrives ready to use with four factory steel single-stack magazines and the original HK hard case, plus additional guide rods.
