HK HK45

Overview

Smaller in length and height than the standard HK45 the HK45 Compact HK45C uses a slimline grip profile otherwise is nearly identical in features to the fullsize HK45. Like the HK45 the HK45 Compact was developed as a possible candidate for the Joint Combat Pistol JCP and Combat Pistol CP programs administered by the U.S. military in their search for a service handgun. These programs were suspended before completion and no pistols were selected. The HK45 Compact uses an HK proprietary Oring barrel for precise barreltoslide lockup and optimal accuracy. HK45 barrels are made using the famous HK coldhammer forging process for superior performance. Using HKs unique internal mechanical recoil reduction system reduces the recoil forces imparted to the weapon and shooter by as much as 30 improving shooter control during rapid firing and increasing component service life. Variant 7 is a double action without control lever no manual safetydecocking lever.
