USP .45
From the Call of Duty Wiki
The Heckler & Koch USP .45 Tactical ("Universale Selbstlade Pistole" or "Universal Self-Loading Pistol") is the .45 ACP version of the USP Tactical, one of the variants of the USP. The USP .45 is based on Heckler & Koch's earlier Mark 23 developed for United States Special Operations Command. It was originally chambered only for .40 S&W and 9x19mm, with the .45 model seen in game a later production. The German Army uses the 9mm version called the P8 as their primary sidearm. The USP is used by several military and law enforcement agencies.

In single player, it is the only pistol fitted with a suppressor. The unsuppressed version appears in F.N.G., Crew Expendable, and Charlie Don't Surf. The suppressed version appears in All Ghillied Up, One Shot, One Kill, Ultimatum, All In, No Fighting In The War Room, and Mile High Club.
In multiplayer, the USP .45 is frequently used because of its range and fairly large magazine. It has 4 more rounds than the M1911 as well as slightly greater range, but it has slightly greater recoil. Due to its range, it is the second most powerful pistol behind the Desert Eagle. Its one major flaw, however, is its hip fire accuracy being much lower than the other pistols while moving. While stationary however, the USP has similar accuracy to the M9 and M1911.
The model has a LAM of what seems to be the AN/PEQ-6 LAM, the LAM is purely cosmetic and cannot be used. The LAM itself was designed for the Mk. 23, the USP's predecessor, and was only compatible to that model only.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the LAM has been swapped out from the Mk. 23 model to H&K Universal Tactical Light II, which is compatible with the USP.
The USP largely seems to retain its low hipfire accuracy while maintaining longer range than the M9. With the removal of the M1911 from multiplayer, the contrast of better aiming down the sights and better hipfire for pistols is even greater in Modern Warfare 2.
It is actually a fairly useful Multiplayer weapon, as it has low recoil so you can fire many shots. When you unlock the FMJ attachment to it, it is very useful, especially as a Sniper's sidearm. Another idea is to use Bling Pro and attach a silencer and the FMJ attachment, as it almost cancels out the lost damage from the silencer. Also consider using this weapon with a class that has Sleight of Hand Pro for faster aiming down the sights, as that is the USP's main strength.
In Single Player, the USP .45 can only be found with the Tactical Knife attachment, in both suppressed and unsuppressed versions.

The USP.45 appears as a default sidearm in most missions in the American campaign. It is the exact same as the console version of the USP, but it holds 15 rounds opposed to 12. It is only found in the silenced version with the H&K Universal Tactical Light II, just like the Modern Warfare 2 version. It seems to have no recoil at all though.
