I took some quickie snapshots of my latest pistol the other day, specifically Heckler & Koch's new HK45. I don't think that I posted them here yet, and someone sent me a PM a week or two ago requesting that I do so.

Well, here it is. Note that I have the slim slide stop levers installed.

I need to carve out some free time to go shoot this thing. Writing a 1,000-page book certainly doesn't help in the "free time" department.

Some interesting facts about the HK45:

Its grip was designed by Wilfried Nill (the Nill of Nill Grips in Germany, world-famous for their outstanding wood grips). Wilfried Nill also designed the grip of the HK P30.

Its grip uses interchangeable backstraps. Two are included with the pistol.

Its barrel uses an O-ring, like the USP45 Match/Expert/Elite/Tactical.

Its magazines are not compatible with those of the USP45. They are thinner. This gave them the freedom to contour the grip so that it better fits the human hand.

Its magazines hold ten rounds of .45 Auto.

Its sights are different from those found on the USP and P2000 series.

Its trigger is excellent, with a shorter reset than found on the USP or P2000 series.
 
What a beauty! Looks like it would be much more comfortable for a small-handed shooter, like myself. I really like the clean design. :thumbup: Thanks for posting these pics, Lunde! :D

Nice pics.

One of those is high on my shopping list right now.

The Gov't should pick this one over the S&W M&P 45.
 
Great pics! my dad is an HK FANATIC...he'll go crazy when i show him! thanks for sharing
 
I'd love to run some rounds through one of those, but I am afraid that it might make me regret my SA XD. Nah. The XD is hard to beat for me. Very cool lunde, great pics as always my friend, many thanks for sharing.
 
I thought it had replaceable grip panels, also. Is that only on the P-30 ?

I have always loved Sigs as a serious weapon that are simple and would never fail me verses say a 1911 which is a very cool gun that I love to shoot but just doesn’t give me the same confidence. :confused:

The H&Ks seem to be of the same mind as the Sigs and I’m considering getting one. How do you stack up an H&K v. a Sig?
 
Very nice Ken. One of these days when Jerry and Skunk slow down the onslaught I'll pickup another gun somewhere.

XD 45 Progunner? Or another caliber? I've been wanting one for awhile.

And that is a sweet HK Lunde. You should be taking pics for their catalog. Love your work.

I have SIGs and 1911s, and have had no more issues with my 1911s than with my SIGs. I have a SigPro2340 that refuses to feed 40 cal. But, if I put in the 357Sig barrel, it works fine. Same mags, everything.

Now, the SIGs are definitely a lot easier to clean/lube, but I love the trigger on my 1911s. The only SIG that I have that is close is my X5.

Oh yeah 45, I don't shoot much else in pistols these days. I reload for that so I have the supplies around. I would love to take the HK, XD and one of the new Glock 21 SF models out and run some rounds through them all. I doubt any of them will make me smile like my 1911's though. :) I have to say I was really surprised at how well the XD fit me and shot dead on especially for rapid fire ant close range. I never had a Glock shoot as good as this thing.

Lunde, when you get to the chance to hit the range, you have to give us a report. (Sorry for the bit of a hijack)

This may be your problem. I understand that most companies now have .40 specific and .357 Sig specific magazines.

It was originally/shipped as a .40, and I bought the 357 Sig barrel later. The mags are marked .40 and .357 Sig.

The 40 bullets seem to get hung up on the feed ramp. I have tried running it wet, dry, in between, but it always will hang up sometime with the .40

I called Sig, and was told different stories, lube more, then lube less. So nw the .40 barrel is pretty much a paper weight.
 
THAT... Is pretty freakin' SWEET!!!! Nice HK, lunde, and great pix as always. Actually, if you could improve these pix a wee bit... I might just be able to pluck this pistol right off my 'puter's screen, take it out and shoot it!!! LOL Thanks for posting them! :D:thumbup: ...Looking forward to hearing how you like it after taking it out for some target shooting.
 
well save one of the sets you porked up for me, and i'll keep the mods off your back for a while. btw, whats a ball park cost on the pistol?
