The HK45 is full-sized like the Universal Self-loading Pistol (USP), but with ergonomic styling like the P2000. The HK45 adds front end grip serrations on the slide, a Picatinny rail, and an O-ring polygonal barrel for increased accuracy and more consistent lock-up of the slide and barrel during cycling. HK's unique internal mechanical recoil reduction system reduces recoil by as much as 30%, and the polymer frame with a textured ergonomic grip allows the pistol to sit lower into the web of the hand, contributing to recoil management and greater control of the weapon. This pistol features interchangeable backstraps, night sights, and an extended ambidextrous slide release. The HK45 has ambidextrous controls, enabling the control lever to be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol (additional parts required); for true ambidextrous use, a control lever can be mounted on each side of the pistol. The HK45 has been extensively tested and operationally proven, and it is well-suited for personal defense use. This model comes with 3 magazines.
Cannot say enough good things about the HK45! I still have huge respect for the USP45 and enjoy the additional 2-round capacity it offers, but honestly the HK45 has better ergonomics and is a better fit - for me. And, the HK45 magazines are compatible with both the USP45 Compact and the HK45 Compact, which to me is another slight advantage, especially if you own these other models.
This was my first purchase from Prepper Gun Shop - they fulfilled my expectations perfectly! Item was in-stock at a fair price, online ordering process was easy, quick shipping to my FFL, and they kept me informed by e-mail all through the process. They did a great job, and I hope to do business with them again - thank you guys!
