Now that this pistol has been on the market a few years - I am curious if there is anyone that wouldn't trust it as their go to gun?  I've read about the torture tests etc but still looking for additional feedback.  Thanks.

have you read this: http://pistol-training.com/archives/4027?

50,000 rounds and only 2 problems (the third problem was him putting it back together wrong).  he averaged cleaning it only every like 7000 rounds.  HK45 is bomb proof, good to go.

btw: he's currently doing a test on a glock 17, he had 6 jams in the first like 3000 rounds or so do to a faulty part from glock.

Well the US Naval Special Warfare Center adopted the HK45C as an issue sidearm last year, so they must have done something right.

Zero problems with mine, and I have not heard one complaint from an HK45 or HK45c owner about reliability.

About 2k rounds with not one problem so far

Boringly reliable. Basically the poly 45 to have.

About 5k through mine with only 2 FTEs from the same box of Remington UMC.

The gun runs like a rape ape, nothing can stop it!

Several thousand rounds, no problems whatsoever.  All brands of ammo as well.

Impressed with it so much that I bought the HK45C as well.

Solid proof of the pistol's reliability.

Mine will outlast me I'm sure.

As far as relibility, HK45 > gravity.

God help me but I'm a firepower snob. I'd probably have bought an HK45 by now if they held 12 rounds. I'll stick with my three USPs.

I know it is, but I have or have had, soooo many .45ACPs that held 12 - 15 rounds that I raise a disapproving eyebrow at any modern full-sized polymer handgun that only holds 10 rounds. Anything bigger than a G30 needs to have a larger capacity. Sorry.

And the cheapass, worthless Superluminova sights are completeley retarded. For a fucking thousand dollars, put real night sights on them. Yeah, yeah, I've read all the "it's for importation"  online speculation. Those sights are hokey as hell. I have two P30s, so I know exactly how these sights behave. I don't want to hold my bedside gun up to a damn lamp every night in the hope that if someone breaks in a 4am the cheesy things will still glow green.

Great gun, no doubt, but like I said before, for the money there are more appealing options for me.


ETA: Lest anyone doubt my H&K love.     I have owned a few more than these and have loved them all.

Tritium is illegal in the EU, I believe HK wants the .45 to stay consistent throughout both markets.  But that is just my theory

I have put a few thousand rounds down the tube of my .45 USPC with 0 problems. Definitely my go to gun and I carry it every day.

That's not the HK45.

I agree about the sights but if a gun offers more in ergonomics, pointability, and usability, 2 rds means squat. You can get over two rounds for a step up.

i have both the HK45 and USP45C

definitely high end full featured guns, built like tanks, other than the 10 rd mag i dont think you can get a better made gun
