HK USP.
Heckler und Koch was founded at the end 1949 year by former Mauser-Werke engineers-Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch and Alex Seidel.
Weapons from the stable h&K, which has undoubtedly covered with great fame around the world is the legendary MP5, whose serial production began in 1966 year, And it continues to this day in various variants - in addition to the flagship version of the A3. Dzisiaj jednak zajmiemy się pistoletem samopowtarzalnym USP, whose production company H&K started in 1993 year.
How it arose? A year 1991 firma HK otrzymała zlecenie jednostek specjalnych US Navy na konstrukcję pistoletu. MK was constructed 23 SOCOM. The manufacturer predicted the start of the production of the pistol version for the civil market before the start of serial production for the army.
Probably thanks to the company's marketing strategy, who wanted to bake 2 Baking with one stone (It would be a pity to waste the potential of the structure developed for the army and not "use" it on the civil market) Civilian also "hit" a piece of good equipment ...
It sounded as if I had a bad company HK, that it gave us the opportunity to use the US - of course it is not. This is probably one of the businesses on which both sides go out well - the producer and his clients. But enough about economics, or what to call it differently ...
Professionals' opinions speak for themselves – USP i jego rozwinięcia takie jak Compact są konstrukcjami, which have made a great reputation. The performance of this weapon is at a very high level, The material in the construction is intentionally connected to the metal in this way, that the weapon would be as resisted as possible. The so -called "torture" tests confirm, that USP is also reliable there, where some pistols just give up. If we were to recommend a self -defense weapon, It was HK USP and his brother of Use Compact would be on the list of proposals. It is worth mentioning a few seemingly small amenities introduced by Heckler. Such is an innovative Oporo-Reverse device, which contributes to reducing the recoil during shooting - this is a twin technology, to the one that Glock was bragging recently by presenting the 4th generation. As you can see in the early years 90 She was known.
A durable cartridge chamber with a proven locking system gives the possibility of using stronger ammunition. Kurek finished with a special cover is probably tightened even with a damp finger.
