Im sure the answer is no, but I gotta ask. Is there any ambi USP pistols? As in, dual slide release and safety levers?

I have seen ambidextrous safety levers/decockers

I have not seen an ambidextrous slide stop.

This. Even though the USP wasn't "designed" to be fully ambi with the slide stop/release I have no problems with it all despite being a Southpaw/Lefty.

I use my trigger finger to eject the magazine and to release the slide on HK USP and USPC.

I received most of my training on Sig P.226s.  As a taught to release the slide with my right thumb over the top the slide.  This routine has carried on through all the semi auto pistols I've shot and owned, Including the USP types.

I installed the ambi safety on my Expert, but not on my Tactical because I still find myself engaging the safety with my right thumb and decided it wasn't necessary.  

The mag release is ambi.

I dont see how it could not function with a dual slide release. I have no issues, Im right handed. I was just thinking, why they dont have one. The way I was imagining it, you would not need to add a cut in the slide at all. Just tap the slide release and thread another lever on it.....as I type this out, I realize why this wont work. Im an idiot, Im holding the slide release/take down pin in my hand, and it still did not click fully. I guess it could work, but would make maintenance a bitch. Or just add a release lever like the FNP or Sig.

Sorry to go off topic, but whats with the stupid ads in the first post of every topic now? Why does everything have to be about money on the internet? I remember 10-12 years ago it was going to be the "future of free information". We have become a total Socialistic, Communist society, yet everyone still yearns and scrapes for money as if they were still in a Capitalistic, free state. Its amusing, just pathetic and depressing at the same time.

It's still free.

Ads will infiltrate anywhere there has a high volume of "spectators".  Count on it.

Welcome to the most profitable forum on the internet.  This is capitalism at work.  If this were socialism or communism you wouldn't be reading this.  Without a financial incentive nothing happens.

This is Capitalism TRYING to work. They are TRYING to make money as if we still lived in a Capitalistic society. I dont mind ads in general, but when they throw it in your face like that, it seems desperate. SnipersHide does it good, they have a mandatory, small sized second post for their sponsors. They have ads all over the place anyways, whats the use of throwing one more blatantly annoying ad out there? I figure, if its the "most profitable forum" on the internet, why annoy its users with even more pesky ads? I will make it an effort not to click on those ads. The ones at the top, and the "New Products" section, have given me more than enough ads to give me plenty of options. They already alternate, so its not the same thing every time. Its just greed. Has nothing to do with more overhead, or needing more money. If it does, they have a spending problem. Its just greed, wanting more, and thats it. I have been coming to this site for years, been a free member for about 2 or so. nothing has changed, except alittle more crap on the homepage, that I have never used or checked out besides this years SHOT show videos. So what the hell are they using the money on? Its obviously not going into the site, so its just money grabbing greedy fucks wanting more than they need and already have. But its typical America, no one is ever satisfied. More more more. Once it completely collapses, and we turn to Communist and Socialist laws, we wont have this website. The internet is going to destroy us or save us. The way everyone uses it as an extension of their greed, we will be doomed by it.
