The USP Elite (9 mm Parabellum,.45 ACP) incorporates the characteristics of the Expert with a 6.02-inch barrel and a hand-fitted 9.25-inch enlarged slide. The model was intended to be a target pistol. The Elite is perfect for target shooting because of its 6-inch slide and sophisticated sights made by the Italian manufacturer LPA. The barrel has an O-ring bushing, a polygonal bore profile, and a precisely threaded muzzle. The front sight has a special design, and the lengthened slide fits an LPA rear sight with micrometric adjustment. The breech is firmly placed in the ejection port, and the barrel fits properly in the slide. This model provides outstanding features at a fair price.
