Umarex USP Spring

Brief History

The history of the USP model begins in 1989, when the German company Heckler & Koch starts research for a modern pistol for that time, capable of providing military units and American law enforcement with a reliable platform. In 1993, the first model chambered in .40 S&W is released. Over the following years, H&K attempts to optimize this pistol as much as possible, designing a series of models with various calibers and technological advantages. At some point in history, the USP is adopted by the German Bundeswehr and the German police forces. Currently, there are at least 10 USP models aimed at all fields of activity, military, law enforcement, special forces, civilian, sport shooting, and many others.

Exterior of the Replica

Compared to the real firearm, this replica manufactured by Umarex is made entirely of plastic except for certain parts. Its design closely resembles the USP made by Heckler & Koch. On the left side, there is the slide catch for releasing the slide. At the back of the slide, there is a red indicator that shows when the replica is cocked.

Interior of the Replica

The internal mechanism of the replica is made of plastic and metal and operates with manual action. Cocking the hammer and loading BBs is done strictly by pulling the slide back to the locked position. The replica does not feature an adjustable hop-up. It is equipped with a slide lock system when the BBs are finished. To release the slide, the slide release button must be pressed.
