First USW's were even built form " o r i g i n a l " Sphinx SDp parts – what's interesting logo on the grip was broken purpose- fully. Finall versions, USW-a1 (BT430001) and USW-a1 compact (BT-43004), find in our hands on the shooting range at the end of the July. USW-A1 Semi-automatic B&T USW has precisely made steel slide and metal-polymer frame. USW works by short barrel recoil that locks by skewing nose of the cham- ber in the ejection port. pistol comes with Sa/ Da trigger mechanism and exter- nal hammer (but covered). It has self-locking firing pin blocker and external safety lever that secures cocked hammer, what allows to carry a gun with hammer cocked. an ambidextrous safety lever is on the frame same as magazine re- lease button near the trigger guard. In the front of the slide there are vertical grooves that improves the grip during reloading even with wet hand or when wearing gloves. Grooves are also useful for press- check. The only iron sight of USW is big front sight post that has trap- ezoidal shape in hi-visible green color, that fastens aiming "by the b a r - rel". There is no rear sight in the USW as it was replaced by aimpoint nano micro red dot sight. USW compact differs from full- size version by three additional cuts on the sides of slide and, of course, dimensions. cold forged barrel has 110 mm in length and left-side twist M13.5X1 thread adjusted for twisting the silencer – off course proper sup- pressors known by their high effi- ciency and reliability are available from B&T. pistol came with B&T Impuls-IIa suppressor attached. USW-a1 compact has 79 mm non-threaded barrel. IN ACTION
