The HK USP Compact is a small frame pistol capable of firing the
most powerful cartridges in 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, and .45
ACP. Based on the full-size USP models, these handy pistols combine
compact size with optimum effective shooting performance. USP
Compacts are smaller and lighter than large frame USPs. The
reduction in trigger reach and grip circumference increases
concealability and enhances shooting ergonomics. Unlike some
subcompact semiautomatic pistols that use a difficult to shoot “
two-finger grip” frame, the USP Compact uses a narrow, full-hand
grip frame with a choice of interchangeable extended or
flush-fitting magazine floorplates. This makes the pistol easy to
shoot without sacrificing concealability.
Like their large frame predecessors, USP Compacts are designed with
the demanding needs of the American shooter in mind. Using a
modified linkless Browning-type action, the USP Compact is built to
take the punishment of high-energy +P loads.
To reduce the length of the slide and barrel on the USP Compact,
the mechanical recoil reduction system found on large frame USPs
has been replaced by a specially designed flat compression spring
contained in the captive recoil spring assembly by a polymer
absorber bushing. Service life is still engineered to exceed 20,000
rounds.
Easy to shoot, simple to maintain; the USP Compact is a reliable,
safe, accurate, and highly concealable pistol.
