USP Variants?

[mr. e]

I have 2 USPs that I like a lot. One I can carry cocked and locked and has a decocker, one is decock only. Both are right hand controls.

When I've read about changing the controls, I keep hearing Variant numbers discussed. Everyone seems to know which variant is which except for me.

Can anyone provide a list of the USP variants? I'd like to convert the decock only to the cocked and locked with the decocker. Also, where can I get the parts for this conversion?

Thanks for any help.

You can find the list of variants on the HK web site. I don't think they'll send you the parts -- they want a gunsmith to do it, I believe.

Here:
V1: DA/SA, safety/decocker, left side control
V2: DA/SA, safety/decocker, right side control
V3: DA/SA, left side control, decock only
V4: DA/SA, right side control, decock only
V5: DAO, safety only, left side control
V6: DAO, safety only, right side control
V7: DAO, no lever
V9: DA/SA, safety only, left side control
V10: DA/SA, safety only, right side control

Before someone comments on this, there is no V8.
10-Ring did not forget to put it in there.

There is also the LEM (law enforcement modification) which is supposed to be a really slick long single action.

You can buy the parts from Fountain Firearms. And here's how do to it (not for the feint of heart).

I've tried the LEM, and frankly was unimpressed. I prefer condition 1.

I look at the LEM as another carry option, V1 is my 1st choice, but the LEM on a BUG would be cool
