This video from the Rock Island Auction Co. vault showcases two Heckler & Koch USP Match pistols used as prop guns for Angelina Jolie in the movie "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." These aren't standard USP Matches; they feature modifications for film use, including adjustable rear sights, a longer barrel, an extended magwell, a front weight for muzzle control, oversized levers on the ambi slide releases, reduced-weight recoil springs, and non-standard bore sizes to prevent live ammunition loading. The video also touches on the actor's past connection to the Tomb Raider video game and the rarity of the USP Match model, which was out of production when the movie was filmed. The guns' provenance adds significant value.
