Unfortunately no case, it’s a used one from 04 but I definitely intend to shoot the hell out of it.

The trigger seems wrong for it though, like a DA only when I dry fire.
Lots of people did the LEO/DA only conversions to their USPs or a hybrid of the USP Match trigger with components from the LEO trigger. There is debate about which trigger set produces the "best" USP trigger. Its possible that is what is in yours.

I read up on some of this on other forums when I changed my 1995 matte stainless 9mm USP to the match trigger from the standard a few years ago.
 
Would this be a straw man purchase ? LOL
If I remember correctly, straw man only comes into play if you're intentionally purchasing a firearm for someone with full knowledge that they are not allowed to possess one. That being said, a lot of shops get fidgety at any mention of you purchasing a firearm for someone else under ANY circumstance.

If someone who can legally buy and possess a firearm gives money to someone else to buy a firearm, that is also a straw man purchase. And, buying with the intent to sell (as in “hey go buy this gun and I’ll buy it from you”) is also a strawman purchase.

The final recipient of the firearm need not be a prohibited person, for the initial purchase to be a strawman purchase.

You're right, those cases do come into play as well. I get half a point.

Since this was gifted and not resold is it legit then?

Correct. And "Intent" holds a lot of meaning too. The recipient of the "gift" still is allowed to sell said gift too. Im sure it varies per state, but in the great state of Illinois we absolutely can purchase one with the intent to gift it. Who knows when that'll change.
