When Heckler & Koch introduced the USP in 1993, it marked the first time HK chose to incorporate many traditional handgun design elements in one pistol. Two principles guided its development — the first being the use of molded polymer material, and the second being the creation of a "pistol paradigm".

Heckler & Koch attempted to observe the strong points of its previous successful pistols for insight as to developing "the best" pistol. Previous HK pistol innovations include the unique squeeze cocking mechanism of the HK P7, the precise roller-locked bolt of the P9S, and the double action-only system used by the VP70Z. In contrast to these ambitious designs, the USP uses a Browning linkless-locked breech action, similar to the action developed by John Browning for use in the Browning P35 "Hi Power" pistol. The USP can be safely carried "cocked and locked".

The USP was originally built in .40 S&W and 9 mm Parabellum models, but later evolved into a .45 ACP variant and later spawned the USP Compact series, which is available in 9 mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and, exclusively to the Compact model, .357 SIG. Other variants of the standard USP include the USP Tactical, USP Expert, USP Match, and USP Elite.

The USP was based on the Mk 23 Mod 0, a .45 ACP handgun designed by Heckler & Koch for the USSOCOM. The frame and slide of the USP45 are slightly larger than those found on the USP40 and USP9, much like the Mk 23. The prominent oversized trigger guard allows the use of gloves when firing.
