The USP40 is a full-size .40 S&W with the Variant 1 configuration: a left-side safety/decocker paired with a DA/SA trigger and a spurred external hammer. It uses the ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release and an external extractor, with fixed 3-dot sights (front blade, square-notch rear) for a straightforward sight picture.
German manufacture and markings include the Ulm proof antler and a KE date code indicating 1994, along with the Heckler & Koch, Inc., Sterling, VA import mark. The slide and barrel hood carry matching serials, reinforcing its factory-correct configuration.
The 4.25 in cold-hammer-forged barrel features polygonal rifling, and the captive recoil spring incorporates HK's recoil-reduction buffer system. Together, these components reflect the robust engineering that defines the USP series.
The polymer frame has textured polymer grips and the proprietary USP accessory rail. Capacity is 13+1, and this pistol comes with two 13-round steel-body magazines. Overall, it is a clean, feature-complete example of an early German-made USP40.
