And on almost every USP I come across it has the Hk USP .45 on it

Like so

So my questions are:

1.) How do you remove the trades, if possible?
2.) How do you get the Hk one's on?

As far as I know, they are laser etched on, you're not getting them off. To get new trades on you'd have to find a way to fill in the etched markings and create a stencil for the new trades and etch them on. In short, not worth the hassle.

1. Well you could paint over the current ones if you think your confident

2. The trades your after obviously aren't on your gun so you could buy a slide with trades of them type on it or paint some on yourself using a stencil.

Not all are lasered Lefty, I'm pretty sure his ones are painted on whereas the second pic's ones are probably laser etched on.

That's true but as far as I know the KWA ones are, I must double check.

Ahh, thank you!

Now one last question, this would fit my KP45 Tactical, correct?

Should do, KWA and KSC are the same parts wise. The USP 45 and Tactical 45 share the same slide design as far as I know.

Okay, awesome. I'm a big fan of the USP / MK23 and would like it to look a little more authentic.

Thanks for the help everyone.
