The German firm of Heckler & Koch (H&K) began production of a number of innovative guns shortly after World War II. While the company does have antecedents that extend further back, the first guns wearing the block “hk” logo are fairly recent. Among European handgun factories, H&K was the first to innovate with new and different manufacturing techniques and advanced designs. Its considerable reputation began with pistols such as the P7, VP70 and P9S. The company also had great success with its longarms, principally the MP5 submachine gun. With that solid reputation for cutting-edge innovation established, it is no surprise that the arms industry watched closely when H&K introduced the USP pistol in 1993. A version of that pistol—in the three most popular chamberings—is the subject of this report.
