The HK USP 45 is in my mind one of the most iconic pistols to have ever been designed. Along with other legendary handguns like the 1911, Browning Hi Power, CZ75 and others it falls into a category of handguns that endures despite the passage of time. In many ways it is certainly eclipsed by newer designs - but despite that I feel that many are still drawn to this behemoth 45 Caliber pistol. In today's video we'll talk at length about HK, the USP 45 and a lot of the considerations that brough this weapon to fruition to include the MK23 SOCOM program. :)
