THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I have been offered a HK USP .40 in trade,seller doesn't know what variant,and neither do I.
Was hoping someone here might be able to tell.





Also is this and a Ruger P95 a good trade for a Stag lower/Del Ton A3 upper AR?
Value of the AR is $750 or so.

If the safety lever also decocks the pistol, then it is a Variant 1.


WRT the trade. I'm not a fan of the P95 ruger, but on a resale basis I see the USP selling for $500-$600 and the P95 netting right around $300. If the AR is bone stock, resale value is right around the $750 mark.

If you have another AR15, I say do the deal. Becomes trickier if you're trading your only AR.

If you have another AR or long gun, and you are comfortable with the trade, I don't think it is a bad trade.

However, I will say that I think the P2000/P30 are MUCH better handguns than the USP series, like night and day difference. I would suggest trying to trade for one of those.

Usp is worth probably 50-100$ more than that ar itself. Most popular are variant 1 safety and decocker. It could be a variant 3 just decocker. I didn't change the lever when I changed the detent plate

It appears to be a DA/SA V1; Safety lever AND decock on left side of gun.

AH date code puts it at year: 2007

LEM versions tend not to have the safety/decock lever.

I'd say the USP is worth $600 and the P95 at $200 at best..........so I say it's about even.
