The HK USP45 Elite V1 in .45 ACP is the long-slide USP, with a 6.02-inch barrel, a double-action/single-action trigger and two 10-round magazines (brand part no. 81000368). Heckler & Koch lists the V1 variant with a safety/decocking lever on the left side of the frame, so you can decock or carry cocked and locked with the safety on. The long slide gives a long sight radius for practical target shooting and competition. It uses the USP recoil reduction system and a match grade trigger.

Key Specifications
