(Heckler & Koch USP) The USP (Universelle Selbstladepistole or "universal self-loading pistol") is a semi-automatic pistol developed in Germany by Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) of Oberndorf am Neckar as a replacement for the P7 series of handguns. (History) Design work on a new family of pistols commenced in September 1989 focused primarily on the United States commercial and law enforcement markets. USP prototypes participated in rigorous testing alongside H&K's entry in the Offensive Handgun Weapon System (OHWS) program requested by the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and which would later result in the Mk 23 Mod 0.[3] The USP prototypes were then refined in 1992, based on input from the OHWS trials, and the design was finalized in December of the same year. The USP was formally introduced in January 1993[3] with the USP40 model (the base version) chambered for the increasingly popular .40 S&W cartridge, followed soon by the USP9 (using the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge), and in May 1995—the USP45 (caliber .45 ACP).[3] In contrast to the ambitious and innovative P7, P9S, and VP70Z designs, the USP uses a more conventional Browning-style cam-locked action, similar to that used in the Hi-Power - but with a polymer frame. (Design details) The USP is a semi-automatic pistol with a mechanically locked breech using the short recoil method of operation. This rather conventional lock-up system has a large rectangular lug over the barrel’s chamber that rides into and engages the ejection port cut-out in the slide. When a cartridge is fired, pressures generated by the ignited powder drive the cartridge casing back against the breech face on the slide, driving back both the barrel and slide as they remain locked together in the manner described above. After 3 mm (0.12 in) of unrestricted rearward travel, the projectile has left the barrel and gas pressures have dropped to a safe level. A shaped lug on the underside of the barrel chamber comes into contact with a hooked locking block at the end of the steel recoil spring guide rod, lowering the rear end of the barrel and stopping the barrel's rearward movement. The recoil spring assembly is held in place by the slide stop lever’s axis pin and a round cut-out at the front of the slide. For enhanced reliability in high-dust environments, the locking surface on the front top of the barrel’s locking lug is tapered with a forward slope. This tapered surface produces a camming action which assists in positive lock-up in the presence of heavy fouling and debris. In this way, the USP shares many design features with the M1911 pistol, although apparently updated for easier operation.

VP70Z

The civilian model of the VP70M, this polymer framed pistol made by Heckler & Koch can lay the claim of being the first of its kind; beating Glock by over a decade. The military and law enforcement models are capable of using a proprietary stock that would turn the VP70 into a machine pistol capable of 3 round bursts.

It's odd shape has often landed it roles in movies such as Aliens and video games like Resident Evil. In spite it's history, the VP70Z is not too collectable unless the select-fire stock is included.

So I decided that since I had a new pistole, now was as good a time as ever to try out the new range in town (and so far the only one that doesn't require membership in some hoity-toity club). I found that many of the things that people hold against the VP70 didn't really hold up; the optical-illusion front sight was actually very effective, the European mag catch didn't bother me, the push-button safety worked fine, and it was exceptionally reliable - even the cheapo bargain bin ammo that gave my CZ 85B a few FTEs worked flawlessly in the VP70. When it comes to ammo, it's a freaking billy goat. The trigger pull is rather long and heavy (and cleary shows that the VP70 was designed for a machine pistol with stock format first with the civvy version being an afterthought), but the problem is more in the length than the actual weight of the pull; it doesn't break until the absolute end of it's travel, well past where most semi-autos would. It does effect accuracy and isn't very intuitive, but could be easily overcome with enough practice. The real flaw with the thing is that every shot makes you feel like you're getting kicked in the palm by a pissed off kangaroo with 'roid rage. The recoil on this thing is absurd. I'm gonna' need a lot of range time and some padded fingerless gloves to tame this fell beast.
