Heckler & Koch USP 45 Tactical V1 81000350 12+1 New in Box
Description: The Tactical model is one of the most sought after versions of the famous USP. Originally designed for the U.S. market, the USP has also seen use worldwide with various military and law enforcement organizations. The qualities of the USP’s design, such as strength and durability, allow it to provide excellent service as a military/LE pistol. Although the Mark 23 pistol is well-known for the rigorous testing it went through, it is less well known that the USP went through similar tests at around the same time. Abuse and function testing of the USP (in .40 S&W) involved firing more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition without a component failure. Also conducted were MILSPEC environmental tests in both high and low temperatures, in mud, immersed in water, and in salt spray. The highest temperature was 67 deg. Celsius or 152.6 deg Fahrenheit, while the lowest temperature was -42 deg. Celsius or -43.6 deg. Fahrenheit. The test specifically involved freezing the pistol at the lowest temperature, firing it, freezing it again, then suddenly heating it to the maximum temperature and firing again. This process was repeated over and over to test for warping of the metal in the slide. In the end, the USP survived this series of tests with no adverse effects. In one of the more insane tests, a bullet was intentionally lodged in the barrel and a round was fired with the intention of using the fired bullet to clear the obstruction. As a testament to the strength of the USP’s design, the barrel was successfully cleared with only minor structural deformation and the pistol continued to produce consistent groups on the target when test fired for accuracy. The measured distance was 25 meters with the total group being under 4 inches in size. The Tactical model is designed to be more accurate than the standard model and features a longer barrel and adjustable target sights. It is wholly intended as a combat pistol but can function as a target pistol just as easily. This example is SKU # 81000350. This version has the V1 controls and is chambered in the legendary .45 ACP cartridge. The .45 is well known for its stopping power and generally works better in a suppressor than the 9mm Parabellum. Barrel length is 5.09 inches compared to the standard USP45’s 4.41 inches. The difference in length is taken up by the threaded muzzle, which uses a 16x1 Left-Hand twist. This should not be confused with the Mark 23’s 16x1 Right-Hand twist. If you are intending to mount a suppressor to the USP Tactical, make sure the piston has Left-Hand threads. Trigger pull on the double action is 11.5 lbs., while on the single action it is a fairly light 4.5 lbs. This new in box pistol comes with two 12-round magazines, a set of spare O-rings for the barrel, tools, and a manual.
