I think it is Jolie who owns the USP. Then again, they are married so put those together. I read in a magazine she likes owning a gun to protect her family. Good for her.

she bought two, gave one to him. They're supposedly replicas of the tomb raider guns, maybe just hers but in an interview she said they shoot frequently

Well Stallone ad libbed that scene. He wasn't supposed to throw the gun, and if he did, they had replica/stunt weapons for him to toss, not an expensive Pre-86 transferable Class III firearm. But he improvised and thought that THROWING the gun onto the table was 'cool'. Syd told me how pissed he was when that happened. hahahaha.
Ugh, damn you, Stallone.

Did you ever find out if Bruce Willis actually improved and threw down the MP5 in "Die Hard 2" when he fires blanks at Dennis Franz' character? It sure looks like he did, and I can't imagine that would have been in the script.

BTW .... sorry to go back on topic but .....

As you can see, the back of the receiver and trigger group are bent at an angle. Which is what happens when a screwup actor who is messing around drops his WW1 rifle in front of a Vintage WW1 Truck and the rifle falls on a brick (set dressing "Debris" from a battle damaged town) and the tire of the truck runs over it right at the angle in which to snap the rifle in two.....

Damn, that's worse than I thought.
If only I were a brilliant woodworker I would offer my services. Alas I am not.

It's not just the wood. The receiver and trigger group are bent to one side. The metal parts are just not safe to trust with live ammo ever again because of that. That is, if one can just BEND the back end of the receiver to be straight again, which is near impossible without causing unacceptable metal fatique.

Since I own the company (AND the guns), it doesn't really matter.

Is there any chance you could tell us the actor and the film this gun was to be used in, or is this info top secret? (I'd assume so)
