This full-size USP Tactical in .45 ACP pairs a matte black slide with a taupe/desert tan, fiber-reinforced polymer frame for a factory two-tone look. The frame is molded with "Heckler & Koch – Made in Germany" and "US Pat. 5,309,815," underscoring its German manufacture and design lineage. Capacity is 12+1.
The operating system is DA/SA with a manual safety and decocker, complemented by the USP's ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release. Factory texturing on the frontstrap and backstrap and USP-molded grip panels provide a solid interface without adding bulk.
Its 5.09 in extended, threaded barrel comes with a knurled thread protector, and the tall front sight with white insert works with the micrometer-style adjustable rear sight to deliver a crisp, target-oriented sight picture. These components are purpose-built for precise alignment and durable service.
Proof and import details include the German eagle/N nitro proof, Ulm antler proof mark, AE date code (2004), and Heckler & Koch, Inc., Sterling, VA import mark. The USP proprietary accessory rail is integrated into the dust cover, maintaining the model’s well-known modularity. As a 1/500, German-made example, this limited-frame variant is a notable piece within the USP Tactical line.
