Ruger P89

The Heckler & Koch USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) is a polymer-framed, hammer-fired semi-automatic pistol introduced in 1993. Chambered in 9x19mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, it was HK's first polymer-framed handgun and set a new standard for durability and reliability. The USP features a unique recoil reduction system using a captured recoil spring and a Browning-style locking system with a modified lock block. It is widely adopted by law enforcement and military units worldwide including the German Bundeswehr and U.S. special operations forces. Its modular trigger group allows for multiple configurations including double-action, single-action, and variant 1 through 9 setups.

The CZ 85 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Ceská Zbrojovka in the Czech Republic. It is an upgraded ambidextrous variant of the renowned CZ 75, featuring mirror-image controls for left and right handed shooters. The pistol retains the CZ 75s steel frame, Browning-style locking system, and 9mm chambering. The CZ 85 Combat model adds an adjustable rear sight and trigger overtravel adjustment. It remains in limited production alongside the newer CZ 75 SP-01 series.

The Walther P88 is a semi-automatic pistol designed by Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen of Germany. It was introduced in 1988 as a modern double-action 9mm service pistol to compete in the military and law enforcement market. The P88 featured a double-stack magazine, ambidextrous controls, and a Browning-style tilting barrel lockup. Despite being a well-regarded design, it failed to secure major military contracts. It was succeeded by the Walther P99 in the mid-1990s.
