Heckler & Koch USP 9 Expert 81000361 15+1 No Jet Funnel New in Box
Description: The Expert is one of the most sought versions of the famous USP. Originally designed for the U.S. market, the USP has also seen use worldwide with various military and law enforcement organizations. The qualities of the USP’s design, such as strength and durability, allow it to provide excellent service as a military/LE pistol. Although the Mark 23 pistol is well-known for the rigorous testing it went through, it is less well known that the USP went through similar tests at around the same time. Abuse and function testing of the USP (in .40 S&W) involved firing more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition without a component failure. Also conducted were MILSPEC environmental tests in both high and low temperatures, in mud, immersed in water, and in salt spray. The highest temperature was 67 deg. Celsius or 152.6 deg Fahrenheit, while the lowest temperature was -42 deg. Celsius or -43.6 deg. Fahrenheit. The test specifically involved freezing the pistol at the lowest temperature, firing it, freezing it again, then suddenly heating it to the maximum temperature and firing again. This process was repeated over and over to test for warping of the metal in the slide. In the end, the USP survived this series of tests with no adverse effects. In one of the more insane tests, a bullet was intentionally lodged in the barrel and a round was fired with the intention of using the fired bullet to clear the obstruction. As a testament to the strength of the USP’s design, the barrel was successfully cleared with only minor structural deformation and the pistol continued to produce consistent groups on the target when test fired for accuracy. The measured distance was 25 meters with the total group being under 4 inches in size. The Expert model is designed to be more accurate than the standard model and features a longer barrel and adjustable sights. It is wholly intended for use as a target pistol though its size remains close to that of a full size 1911. Barrel length is 5.19 inches compared to the standard USP9’s 4.25 inches. Trigger pull on the single action is lighter than standard at 3.8 lbs. (versus 4.5 lbs.). This example is SKU # 81000361. This version is chambered in the widely available 9mm cartridge and comes without the “jet funnel”, being issued with two 15-round magazines. Although the jet funnel is famous, it has one notable flaw. It limits the pistol to using the longer 18-round mags and cannot accommodate the original 15-rounders. That is why the 81000361 version exists. It allows the use of both 15- and 18-round magazines for those who want the option to use both. This new in box pistol comes with two magazines, a set of spare O-rings for the barrel, tools, and a manual.
