The USP's Variant 2 configuration positions the safety/decocker on the right side, paired with HK's DA/SA system and a frame-mounted control. The ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release and external spurred hammer provide familiar, positive handling for a full-size duty-profile pistol.
Its 4.25 in cold hammer forged barrel uses polygonal rifling and a locked-breech Browning-type tilting design. Combined with the HE (Hostile Environment) protective finish on the steel slide and a fiber-reinforced polymer frame, the pistol is built for durability while keeping weight in check.
Fixed 3-dot sights deliver a clear sight picture. The dustcover incorporates the proprietary USP equipment rail, reflecting the model's original design language and compatibility with USP-pattern accessories of its era.
Proofed and assembled in Germany, this example carries eagle/N nitro and Ulm antler proofs, the KE date code for 1994, and the Heckler & Koch, Inc., Sterling, VA importer mark. Matching serial numbers on the slide, barrel, and frame insert further underscore its cohesive, factory-correct configuration.
