The HK USP45 Elite V1 .45 ACP Pistol, Manual Safety, 6.02-Inch Barrel, 12-Round (HK part no. 81000367) is a hammer-fired .45 ACP pistol from Heckler & Koch, built around the long 6.02-inch barrel of the USP Elite. It uses the V1 control layout, a DA/SA trigger with a safety and decocking lever on the left of the frame. The USP frame is fiber-reinforced polymer with a one-piece machined steel slide and a polygonal bore, which has made the line a long-serving duty and range gun. Two 12-round magazines come with the pistol, giving a full-size .45 ACP capacity for the range or home defense. Among USP models, the Elite is the long-barrel version, set apart from the 4.41-inch standard USP45.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 ACP, the cartridge the USP45 line is built around.
• The barrel measures 6.02 inches, the longest barrel in the USP45 family, which adds sight radius for precision work.
• It ships with two 12-round magazines, so full capacity is ready at the range.
• The trigger system is a V1 DA/SA design, double action on the first shot and single action after.
• A manual safety and decocking lever sits on the left of the frame, and the pistol can be carried cocked and locked in single action with the lever on.
• The bore is a polygonal profile, a cold hammer forged design that HK uses across the USP line.
• The slide is one-piece machined steel, which holds up to heavy use.
