Hi and welcome to the forum.

There is no difference. USP is the HK abbreviation for Universal Service Pistol and it fires the 45 ACP round.

If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

Correct me if I am wrong, but i thought USP stood for universal self-loading pistol.

45ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) generally refers to the cartridge which was introduced in the 1911 Colt semiauto pistol, rather than a firearm. The USP, which is a recent design manufactured by HK, is chambered in this same .45 ACP cartridge.

Laisterr...you are correct...universal self loading pistol

42forty...the .45usp is a type of handgun produced by H&k. They also make a ups9mm and a usp .40cal.

Anybody comes through that door, you put two in the chest and one in the head!
