No "O" ring on USP 9mm models?

[Sun_Tzu]

I was reading the info on the different HK pistols as according to HKPro.com and I was reading up on the USP Tactical models ( as I have just newely aquired one) and I was surprised to see that the 9mm was said to not have an "O" ring, nor match trigger? Does the same go for the .40??? Also it didn't mention a .40 caliber as a model in "tactical". Is this a newer USP model? When I went to purchase the gun at the my local gun shop, the .40 stated "tactical" on the slide so I know I am not being jipped! What gives? How come no info the USP tactical .40, not even on the official website?

* The USP 9SD is not available with O-ring or Match trigger with adjustable trigger stop.

1) No Expert 9mm.

2) SD 9mm, not a "true tactical." No match trigger or O-ring.

Unfortunately, with the skyrocketing price of ammo in the last 9 months, HK continues to ignore the American 9mm market.

9mm ammo is still relatively cheap ($135/k). I cant find 45ACP for less than $230/k.

They may not have sold THAT well last year this time, but things have changed and 9mm is making a strong comeback.

What about the .40? Is that a "true tactical". I was told that is came with the "O" ring, and match trigger! Why doesn't the official HK website showcase this model? Is it a new addition?

Yes the .40sw is a true Tactical/no its not new, its listed w/the other Tactical's one tab over from the previous link.

Is it true that HK is discontinuing the 9SD because of it's poor sales performance?

Only the normal rumor mill. I've heard nothing from any official source except for the "un-named high up at HK" that is always the "source" of these types of rumors. Don't believe any rumor until you hear it from Tom or HK direct. You'll sleep better.
