H&K is probable my favorite hand gun manufacture, and their are two that I have been considering for a long time now. The USP 40, and the USP 40 Tactical. I have consider .45, but the .40cal has less kick, and the same knock down power as a .45cal. Each gun are great firearms. However I live in Chicago, and their are laws against owning Hand Guns, but I can own a Shotgun. I can't wait until we move out of Chicago. I'm trying to talk my wife in to moving to Indiana. Their you can conseal carry.

The HK USP is the first HK pistol designed especially for American shooters. Features favored by U.S. law enforcement and military users provided the design criteria for the USP. The controls are uniquely American, influenced by such famous designs as the Government Model 1911 pistol.

All USPs use a fiber-reinforced polymer frame stiffened by stainless steel inserts at areas subject to stress and friction. HK pioneered this use of polymer materials in the production of handguns more than 30 years ago with the development of the VP70Z and P9S pistols.
The control lever, a combination safety and decocking lever, is frame mounted and quickly accessible, unlike the slide-mounted safeties common on many semi-automatic pistols.

Using a modified Browning-type action with a special patented recoil reduction system, the USP recoil reduction system reduces recoil effects on pistol components and also lowers the recoil forces felt by the shooter. This same recoil reduction system has been tested and proven in the HK Mark 23 pistol developed for the U.S. Special Operations Command. The USP recoil reduction system is insensitive to ammunition types and requires no special adjustment or maintenance. It functions effectively in all USP models.

The modular design of the USP's internal components allows the control lever function to be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol for left-handed shooters. The USP can also be converted from one type of trigger firing mode to another. This includes combination double-action and single-action (DA/SA) modes and double action only (DAO) modes.

The USP is available in nine trigger/firing mode configurations and three calibers: 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

An enhanced version of the USP, the Tactical is designed for users who need the features found on the Mark 23, but in a smaller and more affordable pistol. The USP Tactical pistol approaches the precision found on the Mark 23 by adding an extended threaded barrel with rubber O-ring, adjustable trigger, and adjustable target-type sights to the USP. Available in .45 ACP and .40 S&W.
