The USP (Universelle Selbstladepistole, "universal self-loading pistol") is a semi-automatic handgun developed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch since the early 1990s as a replacement for the P7. The weapon is recognizable by its large trigger guard and wide diagonal slide serrations. Available in a variety of calibers and variants. This tag also includes its minor variants such as the USP Match and the shorter USP Compact.
