The USP.45 is a pistol featured in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction and is available for use by the player. It is the last pistol unlocked in story mode, available after you complete the Lincoln Memorial mission, where it is the pistol used to kill Lucius Galliard. Unlike it's larger sibling, the MK.23, the USP.45 is not equipped with a suppressor. The weapon is very balanced without upgrade. With Hollow Point Ammo, the USP.45 can be more powerful than the P228, whilst having similar range and accuracy. The upgrade will also make the USP one of the three pistols able to still kill helmet-wearing enemies in one shot. With the Reflex Sight the USP.45 can mark 3 targets.
Asides from not being suppressed, the USP has a moderate magazine capacity of 12 rounds, easily outmatched by the P228, Five-seveN and the MK.23, although as pistols have unlimited reloads in Conviction this is ultimately not too big an issue.
