Heckler & Koch USP 9 Compact V1 3.58” 13+1 SKU 81000330 New in Box
Description: 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. This example is SKU # 81000330. It is the USP 9 Compact with V1 trigger system and Tru Dot night sights. The V1 trigger system sports a bobbed hammer but otherwise has the standard double-action/single-action trigger system. It is fitted with the standard manual safety/de-cocking lever. Barrel length for the USP9C is 3.58 inches, while the overall length of the pistol is 6.81 inches. The sight radius is a respectable 5.31 inches. This new in box pistol comes with no less than three 13-round magazines, a key for the lock-out device, and a manual.
