Not factory for the USP tactical. There are other alternative manufacturers, BarSto, Jarvis, etc.

HTH.

Might be better off getting a USP .45, a match trigger, and some aftermarket sights.

USP tactical equivalent, with no threaded barrel, and you can pick the sights.

The tactical is exactly the same as the USP45F, except for the sights, trigger, and barrel. Frame and slide are exactly the same size.

I have done what others suggested - 45F w/match trigger. It's a sweet shooter, and is my primary carry weapon, replacing the tactical.

Yep, and thwe only differance in the trigger is the over travel stop. I'd say, get the USP .45, order a tactical barrel for it (if you really need threads) and have a smith do a good trigger job on it with the money you save.

I have a chance to get a tactical for a really good price. So it might be worth it to change a tactical to a USP.

Well if that's the case and you don't mind the adjustable sights, go for it. You can always change it later.

i was going to do the same thing, and a member here offered to trade me barrels and $$$ for my tactical barrel, if you decide to do this e-mail me and i will give you his address. i opted to sell the tactical so im sure he is still interested.

I pulled the factory sights off my Tac and put regular Mepros on it. I'm not getting a can anytime soon, and when I do, I'll be getting adjustable night sights anyway. I couldn't give up the match trigger though.. the single action pull on that thing is unbelievable.

Quick question.

What is the extra lever on the MK 23s? I have seen it in pictures, but never heard what it is for.

Decocker is a seperate lever on the MK23.

Don't forget, one has uber cool "Tactical" markings and the USP45f doesnt.
