Heckler & Koch USP Elite

The USP Elite was developed for competition shooters. The USP Elite is an USP Expert with an even longer barrel and slide. This makes it better suited for the highest level of competitive shooting, but lacks the ergonomics of dedicated competition pistols. The Elite is the least common version of the USP and is produced in limited quantities.
