I was running by the LGS to pick up a second Glock 43 (because I really like the first one I have, and wanted one with the streamlight TLR6 mounted and one without, but that's another story).
I checked the used cases though first as always, just to see what they had, and there was a 45C in there. Almost no visible outer wear, inside dirty as heck, but otherwise looked good, for $500. Obviously I bought the 45C instead of another 43  .Working on getting it cleaned up, and I'll post a few pics later. DA/SA/Safety version. 2008 model by date code. Anything special to look out for on one of these older 45C's? If the 45C's wear anything like my other HKs its probably got less than 500 rounds through it. I've been wanting one of these for a while, no way I could pass it up at that price. Happy early birthday to me  .ETA: Cleaned  Only "strange" thing I saw during cleaning, roll pin for the extractor is sticking up a bit farther than on any of my other HKs, but inside the slide it doesn't have any farther to go down. Usual for a 45C, or did someone maybe put the wrong roll pin back in?  |

Wow you got a hell of a good deal for $500.
I have to say my LGS never seen to have prices like that. I checked my USPs and the roll pins are seated far deeper however on my HK45 it looks almost identical to your picture. I would not worry about it. Enjoy the new pistol |

I wish my LGS had deals like that, its prices are always sky high! $500 is a pretty good price, I have a CT already, but would have snatched that up anyway at that price!

Enjoy your new pistol! The HK45C is very easy to shoot.

500 bucks....
  
Nice job. Great handguns. I love mine, paid substantially more for it than 500 bucks too. Dont know if you care, but the Talon Grip for the HK45C takes a great gun, and makes it stellar. Talon Grips , HK45C |

They're spendy, but well worth it. Though I've never even shot a .45 HK before... mine have been all 9 and .40 so far. Today will change that! |

Put some rounds through it this morning, wow. Besides my 1911, that is the best shooting .45 I've ever shot.

Just ordered a set of the elephant mags, and a new o-ring to swap out just for the heck of it. Next up will be some Mepro's. |

Congratulations. That's a great price. Mine was about 2 1/2 times that. But it was worth it nonetheless. The recoil management is second to none. I think the SA trigger is outstanding. The DA trigger pull is hefty, but manageable.

Good job, nice score. Very good little handgun. I have an HK45T and it's a blast to shoot.

That gives me 4, so I'm probably set for this one for now. I've got at least 8 mags for each of my "go-to" HKs . Probably only using this one for hiking. |

Heck of a deal! I've got a HK45CT (in addition to others) and would have snapped that up as well. Can't go wrong with an HK, especially in 45.

EGreat deal for five bills. That means whoever sold it, took it up the ass.
Note to self, not to sell any guns at your gun store.

Seriously, because I know they give .7 times the price they're going to sell it at, so unless it was an employees or something the poor guy gave it up for $350. Oh well. My gain. It's currently riding on my hip .

$350? WTF was he snorting? Make sure it's not stolen. 
Great deal for a German made gun. Those are hard to find. Damn....I just wasted post 1776! |

Most likely the guy who sold it didn't care or didn't know, and the guy appraising thought it was in worse condition than it really was because of how dirty it was. I mean, it was really, really dirty. |

Yeah, the DA takes some getting used to on HKs. I'm glad this trigger is similar to the one on the USP instead of the P30/2000. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I came to this section today to find the cure that was posted to my thread about how to improve it. |
