The HK USP40 Compact V1 pistol in .40 S&W with a 12-round capacity (brand part no. 81000336) is a double-action/single-action compact built on HK’s corrosion-resistant, fiber-reinforced polymer frame. HK machines a one-piece nitro-carburized steel slide with a no-snag bobbed hammer, and a polygonal bore profile increases velocity while easing cleaning and extending barrel life. The V1 variant runs a left-side safety/decocking lever, and a specially designed captive recoil spring assembly with a polymer absorber bushing reduces felt recoil. Two 12-round magazines ship with the pistol, along with HK’s patented Lock-Out safety device. Among DA/SA semi-auto handguns, this USP40 Compact configuration favors shooters who prefer a traditional hammer-fired trigger system.
