I sold my HK45 Tactical to my friend about a year ago and have regretted it since.
He and I went to the range yesterday, and I shot his (my old) HK45, and fell in love all over again. After we were done, I went downstairs to the store part of the range, and saw a brand new HK45 V1 with BF Date code in the case......needless to say, I had the cash, and decided to fo. 
Man, it feels good to have an HK45 again. I'm pretty sure that the HK45 is the best polymer .45 ACP pistol out there....and I've had a lot of guns in my time....

I don't like mine. I ride the thumb safety from decades of 1911 and 2011 use, this will result in occasional failures to fire as the safety is being depressed into decock mode just enough to prevent firing.
I could modify my grip, but it feels too weird. Not for me. |

Thank you very much, I'll have to look into the detent plate thing. I didn't know that was an option. Is this a home job or a smith job? Where would you suggest I get the parts? |

Their excuse on the USP was that it was designed for the .40 so the .45s don't double stack, they sort of half ass stagger. The 9 and 40 have pretty dang good capacity compared to size, at least compared to the .45. I'm not sure what the excuse is on the HK45, it didn't need to be compatible with USP45c mags, and it would have been nice to have at least 12 in a package that size. I still love them, I bought a higher cap .45 (xD) and didn't much care for it. |

I gave $600 for mine and was told that he only put 50 rounds through it. I believe him, the thing was flawless. I only bought it because I had a pile of 45 reloads to burn, including a bunch of Berry's 200gr HPs that I couldn't get to fly even remotely straight to save my life. This thing chucked them into fist sized groups at 50 feet off hand, and my gold dot loads into half that. I was completely impressed! This is my first HK, definitely not my last!

Not to bash, but I always wanted one. At the time I found a great deal on one, they were breaking, parts weren't available, and customer service was non-existent. An armorer for a local SWAT team dumped them for this very reason.
In the event that I might find one at a reasonable price, have things improved? |

The USP feels like a brick in your hand compared to an HK45. The back strap is interchangeable for different size hands. It also has a standard picatinney rail to hold any light offered vs proprietary. It also has larger paddle mag releases that to me, feel much more comfortable on the index finger and quicker to drop. The slide, and rear sight picture is also very noticebly slimmer. Looking down the sights it's like looking at the back of a Audi R8 vs the back of a Hummer H2. I'm not saying the USP is a bad gun. But it's a 30 year old pistol design. To me, the HK45 is a refined modern update of the USP. |
