Heckler & Koch HK45

I recently picked up my very first Heckler & Koch firearm, the HK45 so I thought I’d give my thoughts after shooting this pistol and tinkering with it a bit. I’ve gotta give some credit to JC Hunt who got me circling back to wanting to add one of these fine pistols to my collection.

A little bit of my history with HK firearms. Many years ago I had wanted to pick up an HK pistol, but was always deterred by their higher than everybody else in the polymer frame pistol category pricing. I mean, back then every single HK pistol was 30% higher than anything else on the market. Availability was also extremely spotty. The USP being the most popular version at the time, this is what I had my eyes set on, but then some other versions came into play, such as the P2000, P30 and then the VP9. Fast forward to just a few years ago, I was considering an HK45 just to have another .45ACP pistol that wasn’t a 1911. The HK45 Compact caught my eye, but I really liked the ergonomics of the full sized HK45. Recently I was on the hunt again after seeing some photos of JC hunt’s HK45 Tactical. Man that thing looked so good! And the fact that I have a .45ACP suppressor…this would make for a great host. Unfortunately, the full sized HK45 Tactical come in and out of stock very frequently it seems. One day, while cruising the firearm stock on Brownells website, they had an HK45 V1 in stock. No it wasn’t a Tactical version, but the threaded barrel and taller sights are plenty available, so I snagged it. Finally I was the owner of an HK pistol!

Once I received it, the first thing I did was change out the sights to a set of TruGlo night sights. So far this has been the only change I’ve made, but I have looked at threaded barrel options. They’re not cheap, but at some point I will purchase a threaded barrel. So I took this thing down and cleaned, lubricated it to prepare it for it’s maiden range session. The V1 version has a thumb safety that’s also a decocker. These pistols are double action/single action and do take some getting used to. I fired about 100 rounds through it during my range session and it shot wonderfully! It didn’t take too long to adjust to the pistol, but it feels great in the hand, almost natural if that makes sense. I’ve actually been kicking myself for waiting so long to pick one of these up. One observation that I did make was that this pistol isn’t made in Germany, but rather here in the U.S. Was somewhat bummed out by this, but many companies, like Glock and sig have moved production here to the U.S. to cut down on overhead with importation etc…

So I can’t say yet that I’m an HK fan, but I am truly in love with this pistol. I have some ideas for future HK pistol purchases, but we’ll have to just wait and see which HK pistol I jump on next. One thing’s for sure is that I won’t be waiting 10 years for my next HK purchase.
