The HK USP Elite 45 ACP delivers match-grade accuracy with its extended 6.02-inch stainless steel barrel and precision-engineered slide. This competition-ready variant of the proven USP platform combines the stopping power of .45 ACP with enhanced sight radius for superior target acquisition.
What Makes This Different
The USP Elite features an extended barrel that provides increased velocity and improved accuracy over standard USP models. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion while maintaining consistent bore dimensions shot after shot. Unlike polymer-barreled competitors, this all-steel barrel assembly delivers the thermal stability demanded by competitive shooters and serious practitioners.
Key Features
- 6.02-inch stainless steel barrel for maximum accuracy and velocity
- 12+1 capacity with two included magazines
- Black polymer frame with ergonomic grip geometry
- Long serrated steel slide with enhanced sight radius
- Variant 1 trigger system with double/single action capability
- Ambidextrous magazine release and slide release
- Picatinny rail for accessories and optics mounting
The extended barrel length increases muzzle velocity by approximately 50-75 fps compared to standard 4.25-inch models, while the longer sight radius improves precision for competitive shooting and precision applications. The stainless steel barrel maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions without the thermal drift common in lighter-weight alternatives. HK's polygonal rifling reduces fouling buildup and extends barrel life significantly beyond conventional rifling patterns.
